Why not marry to fun things to truly relax?
Nothing comforts the worries of your day like a slice of pizza. The melting cheese and delicious topping coat your mouth with a blanket, telling you it’ll be all right, sweet child. A motherly feel, almost, except without any of the familial baggage. Similar is the experience of a good soak in the tub. Why not combine two wonderful things into one relaxing treat. Well, now pizza bath bombs are a real!

It makes sense, the bath bomb industry is worth $24 million annually and millions love a good soak. From muscle relaxation and stress reduction to improved sleep quality and skin health, bathing transcends the ordinary, elevating it to a ritual of self-care and luxury. Why not combine it with pizza – which is a $250 billion food. Well, someone has created the pizza bath bomb.
Baths have been used for millennia to not only keep clean, but immerse the body in warm, soapy water, which can slow our heart rates, soften the skin, help to open up pores, and generally just make us feel good. Bath bombs release minerals and emollients into the soapy warm water to refresh and rejuvenate skin while hopefully helping the bather look and feel great. Fragrant oils are put in them to give aromatherapeutic qualities for the bath time also, helping the body unwind after a long day, release stress, reset and refresh in the warm water.

Stress can be hard on the body. Stress has been connected to a number of ailments, including:
- Sore muscles
- Heart disease
- Hair loss
- Acid reflux
- A weakened immune system
- Weight gain
Some research studies also suggest that a type of warm bath therapy may have positive effects on people living with depression. Warm baths are linked to decreases in stress hormones and more balanced serotonin levels, which help regulate mood.
