Why We Love National Bubble Bath Day

  1. They are so relaxing

    Something magical happens when you decide to take a bubble bath. As soon as your inner task-manager approves of the activity, your mind immediately starts to relax. This gives your body permission to relax as well, and you haven't even hit the tub yet! As you watch the bubbles form and smell the soap in the air, the stress of the day dissolves just in time for you to step into that foamy water and let the heat work its way into your bones. Ahh...

  2. Kids have a blast

    Bath time isn't always alone time, and parents more often find themselves beside the tub rather than in it. Kids might not relax in the bath like adults would, but they still love the whole bubble bath experience. Sure, it can get messy, but what fun activity doesn't get messy when kids are involved? From hiding beneath the bubbles to scooping up foam in their hands and flinging it around, kids can make bubble baths fun for the whole family.

  3. You have a reason for a bubble bath!

    Whatever your latest experience with bubble baths, National Bubble Bath Day is the perfect excuse to bust out that bottle of soap and get celebrating. Kids might ask for more than their fair share of bubble baths, but as adults we tend to prefer time-saving showers and lose that senseof appreciation for the present moment. This holiday calls on us to take an hour out of our day to tuck away our phones and our worries, relax, and enjoy a luxury we often take for granted.
