Bath Bombs — Bombs for the Bath
We haven’t had a bath tub for a while.
We were a family of showering people.
Our old bath tub was the traditional, low, shallow, not-much-fun-type of bath tub.
So really we stopped using the tub when the internal plug/stopper apparatus doo-dah stopped working……………..and really that was a long time ago…………….my daughters were still itty-bitties.
However~~~~~~~~~~Now~~~~~~~~~~our wonderful, fixer-upper-of-everything-person~~~~~~~~~~Jimmy Billy~~~~~~~~~~has installed our new, old, footed-tub.
It’s not claw-footed…………………….it’s just serviceably-footed…………………….and it is wonderful.
Very utilitarian.
Major acreage of deep, deep water………………….did I mention it’s wonderful?
Well, it is……………
And there are new bathing, hygiene, super-fun inventions now called bath-bombs!
Wwwwhhhaaaaatttttt!?!
A bomb in a bath, you say!!!!!???!!!!
Why, yes…………….I say!
I just experienced this spinning nova of tropical pastels that spewed and hissed and sparkled its way all the way through the hot water, through the tepid water, to the room-temperature-chilly water, and I finally gave up at the pruny-cold-water-stage.
It was great just soaking and staring and being mesmerized by the whirling display of fun.
Ultimately the water ended up looking like melted orange sherbet (which I did resist tasting——–this time). I was sure all this water-color was going to necessitate some bursitis-causing scrubbing…………….
But there wasn’t even a cantaloupe-colored ring around the tub!!!
It was truly a bath-time marvel. The bathroom smelled like the Winn-Dixie grocery store’s produce department………….and so did I.
My older daughter told me that there are glitter bath bombs too.
I want glitter.
I wonder if there are Midas-touch-types of bath bombs where you come out looking gilded and 24 karat?
I think I could make this a habit.
P.S. I’ve been told there are Shower Bombs, too……………..I don’t know what they do yet………………..but I will find out…………….
