Bucket Bathing



I’ve yet to share with you about bucket bathing. Usually I would take a bath inside a bucket but I have a tub that drains into our back yard. So technically its tub bathing using a cup/small bucket to pour the water on myself.  Most of the time the water is scalding because my mama boils it too long. I have to wait for it to cool if she doesn’t mix it with enough cold water. When I bucket bathe it has an odd nostalgia attached to it. It brings me back to my childhood when I used to take baths with my sis and makes me think of when my mom would use cups and tell us to ‘tilt your head back’ to pour water on our heads. I use a cup/small bucket during my bucket bath to do the same thing. I don’t have my real mama to help me though so I always seem to pour it all over my face and never just on my hair – ha! I’ll get the hang of it eventually.
