🛁 Bath Bombs: The Classic Self-Care Diva
If you have the luxury of a tub, the time to use it, and a playlist queued up with moody Lana Del Rey songs, bath bombs are for you.
Pros:
Creates a full-body soak with skin-loving ingredients
Super relaxing, especially when paired with candles and wine
Perfect for sore muscles and total mind/body reset
Cons:
Time commitment: you're gonna be in there for a while
Not ideal for tiny apartments or folks without bathtubs
Can leave residue (and regret) if your tub doesn’t drain well
Best for: The intentional unwinder, the bath ritualist, the person who treats their bathroom like a damn spa.
🚿 Shower Steamers: The No-Time-For-This-Shit Hero
Shower steamers are bath bombs’ low-maintenance cousin with a caffeine addiction and a packed Google Calendar. Pop one in the corner of your shower, let the hot water activate the essential oils, and breathe that goodness in.
Pros:
Works fast—turns a regular shower into a spa moment in 60 seconds
Doesn’t require a tub (or any effort, really)
Zero cleanup, zero mess
Aromatherapy that actually slaps
Cons:
Doesn’t moisturize the skin (but pair it with lotion and you’re golden)
Might dissolve too quickly if placed directly in the water stream
Best for: Overworked moms, multitasking queens, and anyone who needs a vibe check before 9am.
