Idea #8: Take a bath.

There's nothing quite like climbing into steaming hot water, especially after a day in high heels or sitting at a desk. Your muscles relax and your mind can wander to the soppy magazine in front of you. (Yes, I am recommending reading while bathing, but only if the magazine is sufficiently mindless.) For extra comfort, get yourself a bath pillow and some bath bombs.

My massage therapist recently had an even better suggestion: Have your boyfriend/husband/partner serve as cabana boy for the night. He can most likely be taught to enjoy this role (although there will be some variation in how well the idea goes over). It involves running the bath to the temperature of your liking, lighting candles, and, when you're ready, handing you a well-fluffed towel. Then you can show your appreciation for his services.
