Pleasure with Benefits
Pleasure with BenefitsAfter a busy day, there's nothing like indulging in a relaxing soak in a warm bath. If you're the person who likes to keep yourself entertained while you soak, you might enjoy listening to an audiobook or podcast, or catching up on all the gossip over the phone with your bestie you haven't seen in a while. Combine fun with benefit, so to speak.
