It’s not a stretch to say the country has been knocked for a loop with the Coronavirus Pandemic; from street protests to shelter in place orders, millions of Americans have been forced to find new ways to cope in this new normal. There is no shortage of advice (mostly from those unqualified to dispense it) about the best ways to spend these uncertain hours. In the midst of it all, perhaps the most practical idea is to simply take a moment for yourself in the form of a bath.
For those in need of a beautiful distraction, look no futher than Austin Apothecary for something as appealing to the eye as it is to the senses. Their stunning bath bombs feature vibrant colors and textures to entertain you as they melt into your bath water, and soothe you with herbs and fragrances designed to melt tensions away.
If you’ve been working out more than ever (yes, that’s a thing) and you’re in need of some deep muscle relief, Habibi Body Sport has you covered. The Power Soak digs into muscle and joint aches with a high performance blend of ginger, turmeric, himalayan sea salt and myrrh. Each application is packaged in a convenient tea bag so you can just drop one in the water, add your body to the equation, and let it go to work.
If anxiety is your new normal, then a few moments in the calming embrace of a Prima Bath Gem may be just what you need. With 25mg of non-psychoactive broad spectrum CBD, it immediately gets to work soothing frayed nerves.
It’s also full of muscle relaxing epsom salt, and meadowfoam to moisturize your skin as you soak it all in.
No matter where you are in this pandemic, forgive yourself. Do what you can, and know that no matter what, it is enough.
