Detox Please

My 9 month old daughter has been very sick with 2 viruses and is also cutting 4 teeth at one time. Needless to say, mommy needs to detox. We moved into our new house a few months ago and I have yet to use the big Jacuzzi tub that was 1/2 the reason I wanted to purchase this house! So my plan is over the next few days to clean the tub and enjoy a nice detox bath!!
