How to Turn Your Bathtub Into a Spa
First, let’s start with the bad news: While the spa industry awaits the end of the pandemic to reopen, the bathtub may be our only retreat. But the good news is that there are a lot of ways to boost your at-home experience. From a muscle-melting CBD bath bomb to a wine-holding waterproof speaker, there are tons of goodies you can lean on to help shut the world out and bring in that sense of ahhhhh... Check out these picks for soaking your cares away.
