Almost exactly my morning routine. I use 4 berry jam on my toast or just one spoon full before I sink into the water. I love the color of pink my skin radiates as I emerge from the very hot bath water. I open the window and stand in front of it for a few very refreshing minutes breathing in the frosty and sometimes snow filled air. Winter into Spring. Such a delight. Your words sweetened my day and warmed my heart. Thank you.

I’m actually into cold showers after the sauna now, but it’s the same principle ❤️
