A Bubble Bath and Books

24 Festive Tasks: Door 5 – Bon Om Touk, Task 1:

Bon Om Touk takes place on the end of the rainy season with the change of the water’s flow on Tonle Sap River.  The flow direction changes twice a year.  The change in November symbols the calm of the earth that is no longer under the water. – To bring some calm, upgrade and enjoy a bath: candles, bath bombs, flowers; and of course, a book to read while relaxing.

Last night: a bubble bath (juniper / wintergreen (pyrola) / ginger / rosemary & passionfruit / grapefruit & vanilla / almond oil / cocoa butter) and two books to pass the time.
