Blowing big bubbles, playing submarine…
We don't know about you, but we love taking baths. Especially in winter, but all year round too! You just have to adjust the water temperature, haha.
We also really love whipping up little recipes to make the experience even more relaxing. What could be better than a nice bath enhanced with flower petals, candles, and some ambient music… Ahhhhhhh!
Anyway, we’re getting carried away. We’ve gathered all the blog recipes that cover this topic here for you. We’ll be adding to it over time. Think of it as a little glossary of our bath recipes.
Have a bath-tastic time! (Get it?)
Bath salts & milks
A classic for anyone looking to marinate in a warm tub.
Soothing, relaxing, and hydrating, in addition to smelling great and giving your bath a super Instagrammable look, bath milk is super easy to make. Have few ingredients at your disposal? No problem: a bath milk is sometimes as simple as just crushed oats.
What more could you ask for?
Bath Milk for Cold Winter Days
They say that the secret to Cleopatra's proverbial beauty lay in her daily donkey milk baths. It would have taken the milk of 700 donkeys to fill her tub. *Flashforward* to 2020: you're offered the chance to swap animal milk for a plant-based version: oat milk!

Body exfoliants
Great for massaging and gently removing dead skin and impurities accumulated on the skin. Exfoliants are simple to create from basic ingredients and leave your skin soft, soft, soft.
Don't feel like slathering your body to exfoliate it? We get it. In that case, the loofah and the exfoliating massage brush are excellent alternatives!
Festive Body Scrub
We all know about dry skin in winter! To maximize hydration, it's important to exfoliate to free the epidermis from dead skin cells. There's nothing better than doing it with a homemade, festive exfoliating salt!
A simple and *fancy* recipe that makes a great gift.

Coffee body scrub
This recipe is a must-have in the world of homemade cosmetics. Not only simple and effective, it gives coffee a second life before it heads to the compost. Coffee improves skin appearance thanks to its toning, smoothing, and firming properties. Caffeine and the mechanical action of massage activate blood circulation and remove dead skin cells. And it smells good!

Blue pea bath bombs
Who hasn't enjoyed a relaxing moment in a nice bath? Okay, legend has it that some people don't like baths and are more of the "shower" type, but it's like those who don't like chocolate – you have to be wary of them! Haha!
To make a bath even more special, we've gotten into the habit of preparing bath bombs in advance and storing them in a jar so we always have some on hand for stressful days. It's like a chamomile infusion (or an aspirin), but for the body!
