History of Read in the Bathtub Day

It is easy to imagine the first person to read in the bathtub to be some noble reading off scrolls in a tiny tub as they tried to figure out how to rule their realm. Possible, but perhaps that joy came later when tubs, indoor plumbing, and lighting made the task a joy rather than a chore? It is not difficult to image that as books and comfort became handier, that this pastime became a favorite from the top of society to the bottom!

How to Celebrate Read in the Bathtub Day

Did you know that there are many products available to help you be more secure reading in the bathtub? To celebrate Read in the Bathtub Day you could take some time to check them out. There are little shelves with spaces for all of the things you could need and allow you to have a safe surface to rest your book.

Some stores offer pillows that rest around your next to pad the hard and cold porcelain from hurting your next. They can come with essential oils or scents in them that are activated in the heat of the bath. Doesn't that sound heavenly? Is life so stressful and busy that if you used that you would have to be careful not to doze off? I feel that too, but when you think about the chance to have some reading time, I bet you will stay awake!

Let's talk about the water. Yes, hot and steamy are implied but why just settle for ordinary? Your favorite store holds shelves and shelves of beautifully scented bubble bath, bath bombs, oils and other ways for you to enhance the bathing experience. It is believed that bath salts can help to draw out tension and promote circulation. The options are endless.

History of Pizza Day

You can say that Pizza Day started in the 10th century in Naples, Italy. This is when records first show the presence of pizza. It started out as a simple flatbread spread with sauce and sprinkled with cheese. I bet the women who most likely made this as a creative snack for their families had no idea the sensation that they had whipped up. Drive around any American city and I am sure you will be able to find a pizza place on almost every corner. From the chains that boast a perfect pizza exactly like every other one made from any of their stores to the quaint mom and pop restaurants that share their family traditions with us year after year. Which do you prefer? Personally, I like them both. Sometimes those commercials and funny jingles just get into my mind and make me drive over for a slice!

Pizza made its mark on America in 1905. In New York City, a pizzeria called Lombardi's created the spark that would light hearts across the country from then until now and with no conceivable end in sight! Amazingly, they are still in business! If you want to taste that first real pizza to hit American shores, head over to Little Italy in Manhattan and check them out.
