I am a bath fanatic. I adore bubble bath, bath bombs, bath salts, and anything else that makes my bath feel more like an amazing spa experience.

I also really love making my own homemade bath and beauty products like this coconut oil sugar scrub that smells just like a sugar cookie! It’s relatively quick and easy, and more affordable than shopping at an expensive bath and body store.
