A Guide for turning absolutely everything into a reason for spooky season!
Let’s talk about enhancing your bath. Because, frankly, if you’re not emerging from your bathtub looking like an extra from a gothic horror film, are you even bathing?
First Tip: Choose Your Potion Wisely
The first step to transforming your mundane soak into a cauldron of spooky is to choose your bath bomb. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But oh wise and stunning guide, how do I choose?” Fear not, for the answer is simple. Go for anything that looks like it could double as a cursed artifact or monster of your choice!
Second Tip: Mood Lighting Is Everything!
You can’t just throw a spooky bath bomb into a well-lit bathroom and expect to be transported to a realm of darkness and mystery. No, you need ambiance. This means lighting enough candles to concern your local fire department. The goal is to achieve lighting that says, “I’m about to summon a demon.”
Third Tip: The Perfect Playlist! You need a playlist. Something that screams “I’m a horror goddess ” or perhaps actual screams. Whatever your mood.
Fourth Tip: Fog It Up
Nothing says, “I’m a Halloween Goddess” like a mysterious fog. Now, unless you have the budget to buy a fog machine for your bathroom (which, if you do, invite me over?), you’ll need to rely on steam. Crank that hot water up and let the bathroom become your personal foggy moor. Just be sure you can still find your way out, or you might become part of the spooky ambiance.
Fifth Tip: Costume, Because Why Not?
Why stop at the bath bomb? Go full costume. I’m talking face masks that make you look like the creature, or one of our black bathrobes for that “emerging from the abyss” look, and maybe even some fake fangs for effect. If you’re going to do spooky, commit to the bit!
Sixth Tip: The Beverage.
No spooky bath is complete without the appropriate beverage. Red wine is a classic—both for the vampire aesthetic and because, let’s be honest, if you’re sitting in a tub with fog and a costume, you deserve a drink. Just remember, glass is a no-go in the bath. Use a plastic goblet; it’s both safer and more “creepy”
Seventh Tip: Reading Material.
Bring a book that matches the mood. Gothic literature, horror stories, or even a spooky comic book. Or you can just use your phone like I do to mindlessly scroll Social Media. Just make sure it’s not plugged in we’re not trying to reenact an Alfred Hitchcock movie
Eighth Tip: Bath bomb time!
Now, after all this preparation, it’s time to let your spooky bath bomb do its thing. Drop it in, watch the water turn colors and enjoy the fizzing sound of your sanity dissolving away with it.
Ninth Tip: Document your Experience
Because if you didn’t take a picture of your legs sticking out of a spooky tinted bath, did it even happen? Snap that pic, post it with a cryptically dark caption, and watch as your friends worry about your fantastic life choices. It’s all in good fun until someone starts an intervention. Don’t forget to tag #soakinthehorror in your spooky bath creations!
