What’s Your Bath Time Routine? | Hotel Collection Premier Bath Towel Collection Giveaway

Do you have a set bath time routine?  Thanks to our partnership with Micro Cotton, we’re sharing tips on bath time routines and offering Rural Mom readers a fun giveaway, too!  We did receive product in exchange for this review and giveaway feature, but as always, thoughts are that of Rural Mom.

With two teenage sons in our home, I have learned the importance of encouraging a bath time and bed time routine.  Without it, our home gets very chaotic at bedtime and it’s no fun at all if you have to constantly remind your teens to take showers or brush their teeth before bedtime.  Which leads me to my first and most important bit of advice:

Establish a Daily Bath Time Routine

I started setting a routine from the time my children were babies of an evening bath, teeth care and basic hygiene prior to bed time.  This routine also helped with winding down at the end of the day, signifying to the kids that playtime was officially over and it was now time for bed.  As they grew, I added in a fun chart with stickers to help empower them to do the routine on their own.

When they entered their teen years, we added things like shaving (when needed) and daily acne care.  Each time my sons have encountered a new phase of their bath time routine, my husband or I have made sure they can handle the skill (like shaving) on their own and prompted reminders when needed until it became habit for them.

Make Sure Supplies are Readily Available

In a nutshell, if my son’s acne medicine isn’t within his line of sight, it’s prone to be overlooked and skipped.  Teens have a zillion plus one trivial things buzzing through their brains at any given moment and they are easily distracted.

I keep things super simple by having all the things they need in a designated area of the shower or sink for them, so they don’t have to hunt them down or forget to use them.   You can simply group them on the counter or if you have multiple children sharing the same bathroom, label and fill baskets with each child’s toiletries for bath time.

Create a Comfortable Environment

Don’t you just love a great spa day with push towels, cushy rugs, slippers and robes? Me, too, and our children also appreciate those types comforts.  Even if they don’t want slippers or a luxurious robe, my sons truly love to have soft, plush towels.

The Hotel Collection Premier Bath Towel Collection from Micro Cotton, available exclusively at Macy’s, are made of soft, super-absorbent Annur cotton. Finished with a clean woven pattern at the hem, they are the ultimate luxury bath towel, perfect for keeping your family pampered at bath time.

Having comfortable towels in our bathrooms truly improves our bath time routine.  It’s such a treat to have fluffy soft towel greet you at the end of hot shower, especially one that quickly soaks up water from your skin and hair like the Hotel Collection Premier Bath Towel Collection does.  We found the bath towels and hand towels preformed exceptionally well for drying off.  On the other end of that spectrum, the wash clothes held water and soap later very well, ensuring a a thorough clean.  Overall, this collection is definitely helping to create a very comfortable environment for our bath time routines!
