Let’s set the scene: You’ve answered 47 emails, eaten 3 bites of lunch standing up, and smiled through at least one unnecessary Zoom meeting that could’ve been an emoji.
Your cortisol is throwing a tantrum, your back is one wrong move away from betrayal, and your to-do list is starting to develop its own personality (and it’s rude).
Girl, it’s time to take a bath.
But not just any bath. This is your DIY, glow-up, hormone-harmonizing, leave-me-alone-I’m-recalibrating ritual.
Why a Bath? Why Now?
You could meditate. You could go for a walk. You could scream into a pillow. Or—you could light a candle, slip into some magnesium magic, and let a tub full of botanicals whisper: “You are not the drama. You are the main character.”
Seriously though:
- Epsom salts = magnesium = chill mode activated.
Your muscles will thank you. Your cramps will chill. Your mood might even start flirting with “relaxed.” - Essential oils like clary sage and lavender are basically nature’s way of saying, “Hormones, sit down.”
- Warm water soothes your nervous system faster than that second glass of wine. (We said what we said.)
Build Your Glow Girl Bath Ritual (It’s a Vibe!)
This isn’t just a soak. This is a ceremony. A potion. A personal spa with your name on it. Ready?!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Epsom salts (aka muscle magic)
- A few drops of clary sage or lavender essential oil (for vibes + hormones)
- A handful of dried rose petals (because obviously)
- A splash of apple cider vinegar (trust us—detox, baby)
- Optional: a chamomile tea to sip or your “I’m healing” playlist
Pro Tip: Always mix your essential oils with a carrier oil like coconut or jojoba before adding them to the tub. Unless you’re into surprise stings and regrets.
Sync It with Your Cycle
Want to take things a step further? Match your soak to your hormonal phase and feel like an actual goddess.
- Follicular phase: Peppermint or grapefruit = energize and slay
- Ovulation: Rose, jasmine, or ylang-ylang = glow and flirt with yourself
- Luteal phase: Sandalwood or vetiver = grounding and snacks
- Menstrual phase: Lavender and chamomile = cozy up and hide from humanity
Want to know what phase you’re in? We’ve got a guide for that too!
Warning: May Cause Spontaneous Self-Love
Side effects include:
- Sleep so good you drool
- Skin so soft you pet yourself
- A random burst of confidence that makes you schedule that thing you’ve been putting off
And the wildest part? You earned this moment of calm. No guilt. Just glow.
Ready to Run the Bath?
This is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and treat your body like it deserves more than just survival.
When you step into that tub, you're stepping into calm. Into care. Into the version of you that honors rest just as much as ambition.
So light some candles. Let the playlist play.
And glow—fully, freely, unapologetically.
You’ve earned it.
