How to Have the Best Bath of Your Life—You're Welcome

There are few greater joys in life than a well-drawn bath. While I’m an advocate for taking baths all year long (yes, even in the summer!), the feeling of taking a bath in the dead of winter, preferably with snow on the ground, is unmatched. 

In my opinion, the absolute best way to take a bath is by tossing in a bath bomb. For such a simple little product, bath bombs are the whole package: They can fill your bath to the brim with bubbles, make your whole bathroom smell intoxicatingly good, soothe pain or stress, and even help hydrate dry skin.

While Think Pink isn't available in the U.S. right now, Comforter is another dreamy pink concoction. For what it's worth, it's also my favorite bath bomb of all time. It smells ethereally good—you won't want to leave your bath. I think Harry Styles would approve. 

For that milky pink color Harry's soaking in, drop in this rich bath bomb.
