1. Prepare Your Honey Cream Bath Recipe
   
   The recipe for this bath is incredibly simple but effective. You'll need only two ingredients heavy cream and honey. You can substitute half and half for the heavy cream if you don't have heavy cream available. Prepare 1 ¼ cups cream and a half cup of raw honey and place them into two separate glass containers. Once prepared, place the containers by your bathtub.
2. Prepare the Right Atmosphere For Your Bath
   
   This is your time to relax and release the cares of the day. Lay out your softest bath robe, several large, fluffy towels, and a bath pillow. To make the experience even more therapeutic, turn on some soft, new age music without words to encourage relaxation. Make sure you have at least 20 minutes where you'll be undisturbed so you can experience the full benefits of your bath. If you wish, make some herbal tea to sip while you're in the bathtub. This is your special time.
3. Prepare Your Bath
   
   Turn on the warm water and start drawing your bath water. As the warm water starts to fill the bathtub, slowly pour the containers of cream and honey into the running water. Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
4. Enjoy Your Bath
   
   This is the moment you've been waiting for. Slip into the warm, sweet smelling water and lie back with your neck against your bath pillow. Close your eyes and listen to the music you've chosen. Empty your mind of the worries and cares of the day and enjoy the warm, soothing scent of honey and cream. Allow yourself to soak for 20 minutes. When you emerge from your bath and put on your bath robe, you skin should feel as smooth as silk and your mind should be clear and rested.
