Bathes are a thing of wonder. They not only cleanse the body but also soak the soul, rejuvenating and re-energizing. After a long day of home tending or office tending a bath is a great way to de-stress. After keeping Tommy from either putting gum in Tina’s hair or gumming up the copy machine, a nice hot bath can make the day melt away.

 fizzing soaps

La Bella Pink has a line of soaps and fizzy baths to further induce soul soaking. With creative designs and conscientious products like those of their pink lemonade soap which includes curly swirls or their slice of Frosted Black raspberry vanilla cream soap which looks good enough to each and is as fun to use as any kids bath toy. Also available is the Ultimate Bath Cupcake which looks as good as it smells. You can feel good about using these products, too, since they are approved cruelty-free and vegan.
