What's Your Perfect Bathtime Combo?

Is there anything better than a bath, a book, and a cup of tea? (That question is not rhetorical and the answer is “no, there isn’t”.) You’re toasty warm, indulging in some awesome bath products, drinking something delicious, and escaping into your own little world. Seriously, this is the peak human experience. 

But which kind of bath experience is right for you? Are you gearing up to tackle a huge project, or desperately trying to relax for 5 freakin minutes omg. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. (None of these tea companies are affiliates - I just really like them and think that you will too.)

When You Need Energy and Motivation

First things first - this tea is not screwing around. The Tea Dude’s Fireball black tea would wake up the dead. The super smoky lapsang souchong combined with the kick of chili flakes and cinnamon will wake up your taste buds along with delivery a hefty dose of caffeine. Combined with the deep spice and vanilla fragrance of The One Ring Soap, consider your senses stimulated. Brain still feeling sluggish? Combine with The Westing Game by by Ellen Raskin. This exquisitely plotted puzzle mystery will kick start your brain, leaving you ready to leap out of the bath and tackle the world. (Well...maybe just one more chapter.)

When You Wanna Feel Fancy

Wanna feel like royalty? The Fortnum and Mason Royal Blend is a delicious black tea first created for King Edward in 1902. Have a cup in your fanciest mug while relaxing in rose scented waters with the Anne of Green Gables Rose Bath Bomb. As for the book, check out Red, White, and Royal Blue Casey McQuiston - a hilarious yet heartwarming story of romance and politics between the first Son of the USA and the Prince of England. (My favorite quote:” Exploring your sexuality: Healthy, but does it have to be with the Prince of England?”)

When You’re Trying to Relax

After a long day when you are just DONE, soothing lavender is where it’s at. The Pride and Prejudice Lavender Gift Set will bring on the relaxation, and a mug of Celestial Seasonings Tension Tamer tea will finish the job. Bill Bryson’s Notes from a Small Island is both hilarious and cozy feeling. His anecdotes of his years in England are sure to leave a smile on your face as you drift off to dreamland.

When You’re Full of RAGE

When you’re FED UP and will possibly need bail money if you don’t find an outlet for your cosmic rage, this is the bath combo for you. Relax in the bath with our Lady Macbeth gift set while you fantasize about steeping in the blood of your enemies. Pick up The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas (it’s a classic for a reason) , a gripping story of one man’s quest for revenge against all those who have wronged him. And while having caffeine right now might send you over the edge, you don’t want some watered down tasting decaf masquerading as black tea. Adagio’s ceylon decaf is the only one I’ve found that actually tastes like proper tea - you won’t even know the difference. 

When You’re Prepping for a Big Night Out

Getting clean and pretty before a night on the town? (Or, ok, right now probably just a big night in your living room, but sometimes we have to pretend.) Sip some Mandarin Mimosa from Teavana. (Caffeine free - gotta stay hydrated for the night ahead.) Some champagne scented suds from Night of Revels Soap will set the mood, and Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan will fill your brain with glitz and glamor. It’s gonna be the best night ever.
