relaxing bath

Tara @ Feels Like Home said...

I would LOVE a long, uninterrupted bath. Heaven!

What a great combo for the giveaway!

If I had to choose, I'd take the uninterrupted bath - but only because that's simply so rare for me these days! My husband has been really good about suggesting that I get out for a coffee and some quiet time to myself once a week or so (which I love of course, and wouldn't want to give up, but since it's a little more commonplace I'd pick the hot steamy bath.) And now I'm babbling. Oops!

Anyway - it's a great idea and I hope I win! Thanks!

I would choose a hot cup of tea! I'm a tea junkie. :) In fact, I drink a cup of hot peppermint tea every night...just plop the ol' kettle on til it whistles and away I go into peppermint land. ahhhh.. Plus, my tub is so teeny tiny that my pregnant self can hardly fit in it anymore. hehe :-P My email is lisa (at) mrscoles (dot) com. Thanks for the chance to win this super giveaway!

Shama-Lama Mama said...

I think it would have to be an uninterupted bath with a big 'ole mocha on the side of the tub!!

Yeah... not THAT'S relaxation!

Alana said...

You had me at LUSH! Oh my goodness girl... GREAT GIVEAWAY!!!!

Krista said...

I would go for the nice hot bath... provided it was not in MY bathtub where the water barely covers my knees before it starts auto draining. ;)

Stephanie Wilson she/her @babysteph said...

Mmmmm... this is a good one. And I'd take the bath anytime- anyday!

Steph

Denise said...

definitely a hot cup of coffee. I've never liked baths!
Thanks!!

Michelle said...

I'd chose a bath because I don't get to relax in one often enough! Great giveaway!

Unknown said...

A nice long bath would be my choice Very nice prize combo!

eyeslikesugar said...

I'd absolutely take the hot cup of coffee with no interruptions. Nothing beats a warm, creamy cup of coffee. =)

Unknown said...

omg! my fav thing! starbucks! i luv that place!

Tallie Elizabeth said...

Chai Tea Latte with whipped cream and zero interruptions.

Katie B said...

I'd choose a nice, hot bubble bath without interruptions. I'm good at drinking coffee on the go...baths, well, those aren't completed so easily with others :)
Thanks for the chance to win!

heather h said...

What if I could enjoy a nice decaf chai IN my bath? Now that would be ideal! If not, I'd take the hot bath any day. Oh, I want one now! Thank you for such a generous giveaway!

Jenna said...

I'm going to go with those who would like to combine the two... a hot bath and a nice chai latte!

Rebecca said...

I love a nice cup of coffee or a mocha with no kids whining at me!

Pearl said...

I love Starbucks! Come t my giveaway!

Stacey Moore said...

i would pick the bath!! please enter us for your great giveaway!! thanks so much!!

Allison said...

I'd send my hubby to Starbucks, while I enjoy a soak in the tub! Thanks for the chance to win!

Double Happiness said...

I can use a hot cup of coffee right now!

Heather said...

THAT is YOUKI HI bath bomb!! And I just used my last one! I MUST have it!! ;-)

Rachel said...

Oh I would rather have a cup of coffee!

Scott said...

One part to keep, one part to share....perfect!

Chelsea said...

Oooh, I've never tried a bath bomb before! Sounds very interesting!

Cynthia said...

Too hard to choose. I love both products.

United Studies said...

I have to agree with a lot of the women here...I love bubble baths and would go for the buuble bomb.

Melissa said...

Right now I'd definitely say the uninterrupted bath. Little man's room is right next to our only bathroom and we have a VERY LOUD spigot in the tub. The only time I'd have the time to take a bath right now would be while he was asleep, but if he was asleep, the bath would wake him up!

But, of course, the BEST thing would be a nice uninterrupted cup of tea while _sitting_ in a bath! :)

Anonymous said...

Ohh definitely a bath if LUSH is involved!!!

Hollie said...

Bath then a cup of peppermint tea please!

Darcy @ m3b said...

Until we get a new bath tub, I'd prefer a good glass of hot tea!

Diane Meyer said...

Oh, please pick me INSTEAD of my sister-in-law, Brenda, who has also entered. LOL
I would have a bath and then wake up with the coffee. :-)

Unknown said...

A hot cup of coffee with no interruptions!

Heather L. said...

A hot cup of decaf coffee :)

Jessica said...

Oh, two of my favorite things as well! A nice hot bath, and a caramel machiatto...mmmmm.

Unknown said...

I'm gonna have to go with the coffee, mostly b/c I have been nursing a baby for 8 months now and could really use some caffeine... Have mercy on me!! I will use it eventually!

Anonymous said...

Soaking in a nice bubble bath would be so soothing on my muscles. Thanks for the giveaway.

Teri said...

Wow! What a great giveaway! That's a tough question for me to answer because a hot bath and a cup of tea are my two favorite relaxation-time activities, but I guess I would go for the hot bath if I had to choose :)

Lori

jubileesong said...

Cindy said...

With a three year old in the house there is no such thing as "privacy" so solitude in the bathroom would be my pick. Thanks for entering me.

striving... said...

difinately an uninterrupted bath, ecspeically if it involves a LUSH BOMB. Thanks for the chance.

Mary said...

A nice hot bath - especially after shoveling my driveway not once but TWICE tonight.

A bath..all the way (maybe while sipping a yummy cup of coffee!!

I am gonna say coffee. It's easier to knit with a cup of coffee, then in the tub ;)

Jenn said...

bath, hands down!

glimpsed said...

is it against the rules to say a nice mug-full of piping hot English Breakfast tea??
if so..i will have to go for the bath!
Thanks :)
Jessica

Unknown said...

Hot tea...and a book, uninterrupted.

Virginia said...

The bath. Definitely the bath.

Linda SS said...

My kids have moved out so you would think that I could take an interuption-free bath now. Why does my phone ring off the hook? It will be quiet all day until I want a relaxing soak.

Anonymous said...

Definitely both--a cup of good strong hot coffee, AND the bath. I do it all the time...

Suzie Williams said...

The nice relaxing bath... it would last longer. Last time I've had nice relaxing anything with no interuptions I can't recall.

Angela said...

I'd have to go with the bath. How about a bath WITH coffee?

Lindsie said...

That's a tough one, but it's REAL cold here this morning and I think a hot bath uninterrupted bath sounds divine. Ultimately though it would be a hot bath followed by a the hot coffee. :)

Anonymous said...

I would choose the bath. I love Lush bath bombs! aunt_putz@hotmail.com

Renae said...

It's a tough call, but I'm picking the cup of coffee. My theory is that Starbucks coffee requires leaving the house, which is a major treat these days. The bathtub is part of our happy little home.

Anonymous said...

would choose the coffee,love their iced coffee!! ahdrad2932@msn.com

Lisa said...

If I have to use MY bathtub (the one full of toys and bath crayons?) then I'd go for the coffee. In a dream world with a pristine garden tub, the bath wins every time.

Stacie said...

A nice cup of tea, with a good book, and no interruptions. Maybe if I lock myself in the bathroom that would actually happen.

Cup of coffee and no interruptions everytime. I really don't like baths - my husband does though so the bath bomb would be for him!

Carolyn said...

Hot tea, without a doubt. Preferably Tazo Awake! What a great giveaway!

Robin M. said...

I do love my coffee... but a nice, long, hot, relaxing bath (with no interruptions) would be heavenly. Thanks :)

Jax said...

I guess it's cheating to ask for hot coffee in a hot bath...I guess I'll just go with the coffee then.

Megan said...

You'll find me in the tub!

Melissa~ said...

I'm sorry there is no way to choose between those two!! How about a cup of coffee while I'm *taking* my bath...oh my....add in some chocolate and I am in *heaven*!

Actually the "uninterrupted" part is the best part! You could just lock me in an empty room and keep the uninterrupted part and I would be in heaven...*LOL*....

Leanne said...

This is definitely a hard call....especially with a busy household of four kids. I've recently rediscovered the art of the "bath" but there's nothing like a great quiet cup of coffee. I'll go with the bath 'cuz it's probably harder to come by (ie....knock, knock, knock....mom , are you in there????). If I win it's..lcody@shaw.ca

goalmom said...

Definetly the coffee!

Kristy said...

Which to choose??!! I can't. They both are too wonderful!!!
Thanks for such a PERFECT giveaway.
Blessings ~

ahiltz said...

Hmmm...tough choice, but I think I would pick the coffee one! Being a Mom of 3 kids, quiet alone time is hard to come by and it would be nice to finish my cup of coffee while it is still warm! LOL! Thanks so much for doing this!

Susan said...

I would choose the bath anyday!

Angela S said...

What an awesome offering! I'd love to treat myself with this!

I would pick the bath, it would last a lot longer than my tea! Thanks for entering me!

Jendeis said...

Oh, a cup of coffee with no interruptions, because I've never been able to manage reading a good book in the tub without accidentally dropping it in. :)

Jen said...

Could I have the cup of coffee in the bath? I'm not sure which one...very tempting...I think I'll go with the bath...I can always get up early in the morning and do the coffee...I cant the bath....good question...please enter me...I love your gifts!

ETXmomof2 said...

Bath for sure!

Char said...

The bubble bath for sure! Thanks!

Mid-Life Mother said...

Cup o' coffee please! Unless it's a jacuzzi tub, then I'm taking that:)

Anonymous said...

If I couldn't have both... I would take the bath! We currently only have a shower in our house, so I'd love to climb in a hot relaxing bathtub! We are getting ready to move, and we'll definitely look for a house with a tub! :-)

I'd like to sip a cup of warm tea in the bath tub. Does that count? :)

Probably the bath, but I'd take either one at this point

Coffee and Lush in the same gift?!?! Thanks!!

Unknown said...

The coffee uninterrupted, with my laptop and my fave blogs!

Amanda Moore said...

I would definetaly have to choose a nice long hot bath with bubbles and candles. I love to take baths, but I don't get to very often.

Leah said...

This is so cool! Starbucks is awesome!! Thanks!!

mamaL said...

Hot cup of coffee for sure! I keep trying to wake up early for a quiet cup, my kids must have super sonic hearing because I never get more than halfway through before one of them comes to great me!

Christine said...

Long hot bath by myself, no kids for at least 20 minutes, and maybe a good book. What a great prize. Thanks

c allen said...

i would love a nice long uniterrupted bath. i can usually steal enough time for a cup of coffee but 30 minutes for a long nice hot bath is rare. thank you for the contest.

Julie said...

I'd go for the bath. Which I got last night(mostly uninterrupted from my daughters) from my husband for the first time...well since we have been married.

Unknown said...

Oh! I can't imagine either one without interruptions! I think I'd take the coffee in the tub with me. Either that or wine, so I guess I choose the bath!!

Little Piddles said...

I would have to say the tea. At night when everyone is asleep I usually make a big cup of hot tea and relax watching tv.

Unknown said...

Bath, for sure!

Unknown said...

I'd choose the bath w/out interruptions but even closing and locking the door doesn't guarantee no interruptions in my house! LOL

Unknown said...

I would choose the bath!

gail@more than a song said...

I would choose the coffee, although I don't have as many interruptions as I used to!

SBUX is my downfall, BUT I think I would choose an uninterrupted bath since is't been about...oh, 3 1/2 years since I've had one of those and about 3 1/2 days since I've had a java chip frapaccino!

Unknown said...

I'd take tea and a quiet moment.

Of course, what I'd really love is a quiet trip to the potty with no interruptions, but that wasn't an option ;-)

Damselfly said...

Gosh, that would be hard to choose. I'd probably go with the bath, though, if it was one of those big Roman tubs or a Jacuzzi, because all I ever get to take are showers.

Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

A long, warm, bath with oil in a roman tub. Maybe even with a candle.
Thank you for this Give-a-way. I will put it to good use.
