I love bath bombs. I only pull mine out for very special occasions. They are a balm to my wounded, Summer Reading Program-afflicted soul. Which is why it was so, so sad that this weekend I chose to combine the supreme calm of the bath bomb bath with shaving my legs. I thought I'd save water by combining the two activities.
I assumed it would play out like this:
1. Shave legs
2. Luxuriate in fizzy, British bath
It actually went like this:
1. Shave legs
2. Drop delightful bath bomb into bath tub
3. Yell at the burning pain that is the combination of fizzy soaps and freshly-shaved legs
4. Endure (because a bath bomb is a special treat and there's no way I was getting out of that tub until the pain was beyond endurance)
I won't even go into the part where I was attempting to listen to a book on CD while I bathed but started the CD at the wrong point in the story and set the volume too loud but was then too paranoid about electrocuting myself to try and fix it.
So many lessons in bathing.
I need to move to a country where the women don't shave their legs.

Bath bomb?
Bath bomb.
They are delightful.
I need to bomb a bath right now. Cool.
Ack. Ack, ack, ack. And ouch.
On the plus side, all of your readers have now learned a valuable lesson, without having to endure the pain themselves. A big Thank You from all of us!
The other bad thing about bath bombs?
Sometimes they leave a lovely colored ring around the tub. The relaxation's not as pleasant when you know you've got scrubbing ahead of you.
But still, I love me a good bomb! Any flavors that you recommend?
Every day experiences in your life are fraught with danger...it is a wonder you ever leave the house. Good luck with leg recovery.
Jer--You're welcome. No one should ever have a bad experience with a bath bomb. It's not right.
Emily--I especially like the avobath. I'm not as fond of the flowery ones. I used one that released flowers and it was kind of a pain, because it took a while to get the little flowers out of the tub after the bath.
Eliana--If I could figure out how to get paid without leaving the house . . . Although, you'll note that this particular danger was right in my own home.
