You would think with all the hardships in life, there would be no room for anymore. On the contrary, there always seems to be just enough space for one more to slip into your life. It may not be when you’re 30 and it may not occur when you’re 40, but the odds are against you my friend. Yeah, I’m talking about male and female pattern baldness. Chances are you’re going to get a dose of this harsh reality. Over two thirds on men do. So, I’ll bet you want to know and understand the causes of baldness. Well of course you do! It’s always better to prevent something nasty from occurring, rather than grapple with it once it happens.

So I was doing some interesting reading yesterday and I came across a few causes of baldness. Okay, I’m a bad liar. The truth is I looked it up. What, does someone have a problem with that? There’s nothing lame about searching the web for common causes of baldness. You may be wondering what prompted me to do so. Well, here’s the truth. I was chatting casually with my wife the other day and we suddenly got on the topic of hair. I said to her “I can’t really tell if I’ve lost any hair yet. Does it look like I have?” She gazed upon my styled head of hair with a squint in her eye, and replied with a tentative “No, I don’t guess.” Ah ha, she’s not sure. You know what else, I wasn’t too sure either. It was time to look back at those senior pictures from when I was 18. So I did and from what I can tell, my forehead has gotten a little bit bigger. Nothing extreme, but a small change. This was all I needed to begin my research.

I started a Google search for “causes of baldness.” The primary one that came up was plain and simple genetics. Good old male pattern baldness. There apparently are steps you can take to prevent the loss of more hair. There are oral supplements available, along with hair care products like shampoo and conditioner. These products contain DHT blockers. DHT is the stuff that ruins your dew. Luckily we now have products available with DHT blockers in order to prevent the hair loss process. You don’t need a prescription if you’re looking for some preventative hair loss treatments. Try the local drug store or choose from a variety online. These days we do know the main causes of baldness and we have the power to do something about them.

There is nothing more relaxing after a horribly stressful day, than taking a well deserved bubble bath. I escape to the bathroom to submerge myself into a warm and inviting bubble bath. I make sure there are the perfect amount of bubbles and that the water temperature is just right. And, what bubble bath is complete without a few candles glowing in the background. I dim the lights and let the scent of the burning candles engulf me as I slip into the bubble bath. I love to sink down in the water until the bubbles touch my neck. I close my eyes and let the bubble bath relax my muscles and free my mind. Sometimes that is easier said than done, but it has to be done. Everyone should be able to escape to a bubble bath at least once a week. A bubble bath is not only a means of getting away from the rest of the chaos in the household, but it is very therapeutic.

If you get the proper bubble bath soap, the aroma can do wonders for your senses and relaxation. I tend to try to use lavender scented bubble bath to calm me down after a horrible day. I also love anything that has a light floral fragrance. If you have some of the same scented candles, before you know it, you can lose yourself in your own bathroom. Sometimes, when my boyfriend has a terrible day, I try to coax him into taking a bubble bath. I tell him that he can relax and that no one will bother him. I offer candles and all kinds of different soaps. He always refuses, telling me that a bubble bath is something that only women should do. I constantly tell him that he definitely wouldn’t regret it and would most likely end up wanting a bubble bath frequently. He has no clue what he’s missing. It is amazing what excuses he comes up with to not take a bubble bath. For as hard as he works, he deserves a bubble bath every now and then. Apparently it would be compromising his manhood.

I personally love to shop at Bath & Body Works to get all of my bubble bath necessities. They always have heavenly new scents of soaps and lotions, even candles. With some of their supplies, I know that a bubble bath is something I just cannot live without. I just have to figure out how to convince my boyfriend of that fact.
