Luxurious Bath Products That’ll Turn Anyone Into a Bath Person
Oookay, January. Somehow, it seems to sneak up more and more suddenly every year—and with it, my annual recommitment to slowing down and actually giving self care a try. This year, that goal feels more daunting than ever, because I recently welcomed a little person into the world, which means I’m not exactly winning in the whole “make time for me” arena.
But I also know—especially considering this major life change—that self care has never been more important. And by the end of every snuggles- and sniffles-filled day, I’m in desperate need of a little wind-down. So, this January, I decided to shed my 60-second shower tendencies (thank you, summer camp) for an evening bath routine, complete with some seriously luxurious bath products.
Bath skeptics, I see you. (I was you!) But after witnessing how a low-lit, warm tub sesh totally Zens out my fussy baby night after night, I figured some of this calming magic must work on full-size humans, too. Turns out it does—I’ve come to find that the routine helps me reflect with gratitude on the day, let go of stressors, settle in for a sound sleep, and check off a quick skin-care routine while I’m at it.
Some nights, it’s a five-minute dip after my daughter goes down. Other times, I light all the dreamy candles, turn on my favorite acoustic playlist, and make my “do not disturb” desires known. No matter what the routine looks like from day to day, it doesn’t take long to activate all the self-care vibes with just a few spa-worthy essentials.
If you, like me, are wanting to carve out an extra minute or two for self care this year, let this be your inspo. And if you need a little help actually making the nightly soak a reality, check out the luxurious bath products I’m loving, all of which you can snag (and save big on) at QVC. Warning: You *might* just become a bath person, too.
