The (dubious) outdoor-bathtub trend.
I'm trying to read "Ready for a Nice, Soothing Bath? Just Head to the Backyard. Cheaper than pools and more private than hot tubs, the bathtub is leaving the bathroom and has designs on your garden, or even your treehouse" (NYT).
We're told that "wellness" is a big "concern of homeowners" and that includes "intentional outdoor features, like bathtubs." These are not "hot tubs," which, we're told, are "social features" — associated with multiple users and drinking. These are for "one person just being with nature, being with themselves, having that detox from devices and daily life."
In the summer of 2020, Megh Wingenfeld, a home and garden content creator who lives in Cleveland, faced the supply chain dilemma, boredom and climbing temperatures.... She [repainted] a used bathtub... and set it up on her patio. Now when she needs to cool off, Ms. Wingenfeld fills the tub with her backyard hose.... On the rare occasion that she wants the water to feel warm, she uses a portable water heater. “I feel like there’s no one else around, even though I can see my neighbors’ houses,” Ms. Wingenfeld said.
Key words: "content creator."
