Bella Poll: Do You Take Baths in Summer?

Baths, to me, are like roast dinners and jumpers.

Baths, to me, are like roast dinners and jumpers. Lovely in Winter. Insane in Summer. And that takes a lot for me to say, because I'm a big bath girl. I love relaxing into some bubbles with a good book and a candle or two on the go. Pure bliss. But it only works in the colder months. Picture the scene: the office air-con has thrown a hissyfit and stopped working, you get stuck on a packed train with no sign of a breeze until 2018 and arrive home to a boiling apartment, do you a) jump in a steaming bath or b) jump into an ice-cold shower? I know which option I'd pick. How's about you? Do you still like the luxury of a bath in the Summer? Or is the idea CRAZY?
