Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Since I began working from home, I’ve been able to squeeze in a lot more me time. Because I don’t have to commute to the office, I have time to do things I rarely get to do in the morning, such as eat a real breakfast, journal and take extremely long showers. And the latter has been a way for me to relieve the stress of these uncertain times, unwind and recenter.

With the help of some very luxe and affordable bath products, I’ve been able to turn my shower sessions into a full-on spa experience that washes my cares away.

And because we all could stand for a few moments of self-care, I rounded up the bath products I’m currently obsessed with to help you turn your bathroom into a rejuvenating escape.

01
JR Watkins Aromatherapy In-Shower Mist
Spray this calming mist into the shower while the water is running to diffuse ginger notes, which relax and soothe muscles, into the air.
