Did you know that the name February comes from the Latin word februa, which means cleansing? Me either! When I found this out I decided to dig a little deeper and it turns out, there was actually a Roman god named Februus. (Imagine that, a god of clean! Could I have stumbled on the origins of today’s Mr. Clean? Could this be the beginning of the new science, Bubble Archaeology?)

Now although I love a good bath and a tidy house, I am by no means a clean freak. But I have to say, I was inspired by my new found knowledge about February. It is, after all, the ‘cleansing month’. With cleaning bucket in hand I bravely headed into my bathroom to, well, clean it. I cleaned out the cupboards, threw out TONS of old stuff, scrubbed the floor, and scoured the shower. Certainly not as lavish as a Roman Bath, my own humble sanctuary was simply gleaming. (I, however, was less than socially acceptable.)

It was my turn. With good music, fresh towels, a yummy smelling candle and, of course, a fresh bar of Mountain Soap Factory soap I settled into some much needed ‘me’ time in my newly rejuvenated bathroom. Dare I say, it was pure heaven!

This month, think about doing a deep clean on your bathroom...and then be the first to reap the benefits.

You’ll feel like a goddess!
