October is a wonderful month to relax when you really think about it. For those of us with distinct seasonal changes, it’s the last vestige of warm temperatures. It’s the time of good-natured horror and frights, and the last month before the holiday rush. So yeah, good time to relax before you have to think about holiday spending and family and meals and Christmas songs. And what better way to relax while the air gets chilly, with a warm soak in a tub with a Halloween bath bomb from our friends at PopFizzion?
Popfizzion is a small, independently owned company that has a variety of pop culture inspired goodies, all made my hand. This year’s Sandworm bathbomb combines fragrances of lemon, lavender, eucalyptus, musk, desert rose, and hot sand. Because obviously, if think a sandworm isn’t going to smell like sand then you need to take a trip out to Titan or Arrakis.
Or perhaps you’re looking for something a bit less “Beetlejuice“ specific and want a gentler, more Halloween-y symbol for your bath. How about a witch’s hat?
This one’s a bit simpler in fragrance, it’s pumpkin spice chai. Presumably this is not what a witch smells like, or their hat, but it depends on what they’ve been eating lately. It contains a small charm inside and is adorable regardless of fragrance.
Moving away from bath bombs, Popfizzion also has some bath shots to go with the Halloween theme. Like wolfsbane! Now, yes, actual wolfsbane is poisonous but no, this isn’t actual wolfsbane. It’s a blend of fragrances meant to evoke the feeling and essence of the fabled plant. It combines the scents of lemon, orange, bergamot, raspberry, carnation, tuberose, orchids, hydrangea, calla lily, vanilla, oak moss, and tonka bean. It’s faster than a bath bomb but still packs the potency!
There are a number of other products you can peruse through at Popfizzion.com. My personal favorite would have to be the Luke’s Diner Foaming Coffee & Sugar Scrub, because “Gilmore Girls” is one of the greatest creations humanity has birthed. But now’s the time to get something to relax and enjoy in a hot bath, or large cauldron. Whichever works for you, there’s a bath bomb to go with it.
