Descriptive Essay: My Refuge From The World
When I am stressed, overworked, and in desperate need of a vacation, I take a voyage to a distant place that is at arms reach to me. It is hard to believe that a makeshift spa can provide me with the soothing comfort of an expensive getaway. In my own way I manage to create an atmosphere of peace and serenity. Hot water, my choice of oils, crystals, and fragrance , scented candles and slow music is all I need. First, I start off by my filling my bathtub with warm water that is at perfect temperature to sooth my aching muscles. As I watch the tub fill and waves begin to form, the anticipation in me grows. Watching the clear liquid sway back and forth and the steam rising only beckons me even more. Once this process is complete I move on to the next st
I then begin to add my collection of oils and fragrances. Warm, fragrant water, soothing music, and the serenity of the amber glow makes me feel like nothing can touch me and nothing else exists; if only for that moment. The scents from the candles begin to release and combine with the scents coming from the water. I begin to gather up my candles and place them in all corners of my tub and around the room. I am now in the finals steps and just moments away from my "journey. As every note bounces off the walls and circles the room, I decided it is time for me to embark on my getaway. Every inch of the room is illuminated by rays of gold, amber, and burnt orange. As my toes first touch the water, it sends a sensation of relief throughout my body. Together with the oils, they release a scent of fragrances that can only come from the heavens. I am then ready to move on to the next step. My radio is filled with music of all kinds, from classical to Arabic. As I submerge myself in this lagoon filled with pristine fragrant water I embark on a journey that sends me off into a dream state. The scent alone is enough to awaken my senses and makes me realize that my vacation is only moments away. With all these ingredients in place, I enter what to me; is my heaven on earth.
