Bubble Bath Day – A January Holiday

Reviewing a bubbly holiday observed every year on January 8th.

Bubble Bath Day

No one knows who originally decided that January 8th should be a day to celebrate the 'Bubble Bath'. It was probably created by someone who needed to relax after a tough day.

If you are wondering how to celebrate this 'bubbly' day, it depends on how old you are.

Kids find it simple - fill the tub with bubbles and some water toys - then hop in and play!
For the ladies, a bubble bath is a time to relax! Fill the tub with your favorite bubbles and just enjoy the soothing waters. You can also set the mood with candles, some soft music and perhaps a glass of wine.
Guys don't need to feel left out on Bubble Bath day either. It's a good way to get in touch with your feminine side, as well as relaxing sore muscles!

*Interesting side note: Bubble Bath Day takes place within the same month (January) that is designated as Bath Safety Month!

A Few Bubbly Products

Most kids today know about and have used the original bubble bath for kids. Bath time is more fun with these biggest, longest-lasting bubbles with the original bubblegum scent. Bring back memories of your childhood and create new memories with your own family.

Mr. Bubble was invented in 1961 and has been popular ever since. In fact, it celebrated it's 50th anniversary in 2011.

For guys who need to soak in a tub of hot water and use Epson Salts to try and relax their muscles and relieve pain and discomfort, these bath bombs for men are marvelous and so much nicer than just Epson Salts alone.

Handmade by Natalia and Irina in Florida, these bath bombs for men are made with all natural ingredients using Relaxing Epsom Salt, Moisturizing Apricot Kernel Oil, and Scents for Aromatherapy! Check them out at the Relaxcation Etsy Shop on Etsy.

And as a self-care gift for HER, this Cocoa Butter Milk Bubble Bath Powder foams, fizzes and bubbles while releasing the benefits of cocoa butter into the water and fragrance into the air. Handmade by Valerie in Kentucky and available in her Etsy Shop SwankOnYa.

Benefits of a Bubble Bath

Most of us never take the time for this relaxing way of pampering ourselves. A quick shower in the morning – and it's off to work or school. Showers may be convenient and quick, but you can't relax standing up!

There are benefits to taking a bubble bath – or even a long soak in hot water. It relaxes your muscles and refreshes your skin. It can even help with any congestion you might have.

So allow yourself the luxury of a sudsy soak because everybody deserves a little me-time now and then.

Oh, and don’t forget your rubber duckie!

Halloween Sweaters and Accessories ~ A Holiday Review

I am in a Holiday kind of mind because for the last few years many of our holidays have been put on hold due to the world wide COVID precautions and restrictions. Well, the good news is that those many restrictions have been lifted and we can all celebrate together again. That for me, is a big deal and I'm not alone! Everyone is ready to have some fun and just kick back and enjoy the season and the holidays that are contained in there!

What I love the most about a website that I happen to promote, is that there are so many things available to make your Halloween complete.

It's not just about the costumes (although that's the part I enjoy the most). It's about all the other little things that make this holiday so much fun.

I happen to love the accessories page of HalloweenCostumes.com, You have everything there that you haven't found anywhere else! Accessories can sometimes even be the inspiration for the rest of your costume. Starting off with a set of horns may become the impetus for one heck of a spooky or devilishly wonderful costume. Tridents and Wands or Swords and Spears could send your costume look in a totally different direction. The best part is that if you start now, you can tweak your costume for the next month and come out with something really wonderful and unique to you! TIME is of the utmost importance and NOW is a great time to get started.

If you are not really into dressing the part of a Halloween ghoul or character, you can get into the Halloween spirit with a great Halloween Sweater. Here in the north, Halloween can be quite chilly, so a warmer Halloween Sweater is perfect, especially when you are standing at an open doorway or maybe just opening and closing the door constantly. The last thing you want as a Halloween treat is the first cold of the season. So keep yourself ready by having a nice (scary or ugly) Halloween Sweater to compliment the night! Some of their styles are already "Sold Out" , you don't want to miss out, so getting this done early is the best thing you can do!

If you live in the south, you might check out some lighter Halloween shirts at this ReviewThisReviews page!

My hope for you and for me, is that after such a long absence of fun, we will all go out of our way to make the first big Holiday a fun time for all! Then we can follow Halloween up with the best for Thanksgiving and Christmas that follow so shortly afterward.

Have a great time checking out all the good things to make your Halloween a "Spooktacliarly Good Time"

You can find everything you need right here at HalloweenCostumes.com!

Paperback Book Day – A Holiday Review

Paperback Book Day is celebrated yearly on July 30.

Back in the 1930s, the only paperback books were cheap pulp novels. Popular novels were in hardback. These hard cover books were attractive and more durable than the paperbacks we know today, but they were also very heavy and quite expensive.

In 1935, Allen Lane, owner of the English publishing house, Penguin, was in financial straits. Even though he published very good authors, such as Agatha Christie, his publishing business was going broke due to the Depression.

One day, while waiting for his train, he was browsing through a station stall for something to read. Finding nothing good except for magazines and low-quality paperback fiction, he suddenly realized that he could publish his authors' good novels in high-quality paperbacks. This would automatically raise profits because more people could access good fiction at lower prices.

Thus, Paperback Book Day is observed as the anniversary of the date that the first Penguin paperbacks were published in England in 1935. The first paperback published and released in the United States was titled “The Good Earth” by Pearl S. Buck.

Reasons for Reading Paperbacks vs. Hardbacks

Easy to carry them with you anywhere
Lightweight and portable
Inexpensive
Many of your favorite books, including the most recent best sellers, are now available in paperback.

We are all aware that with today's E-readers and books downloaded to our cell phones, books, even paperbacks, are not as popular as they once were.

But, there’s still just nothing quite as satisfying as holding a book in your hands. A small lightweight paperback allows you to curl up on the couch on a rainy afternoon, or laze in a backyard hammock on a soft summer day. It is still a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. So pick up a new paperback today for just such a moment of relaxation. It's a good way to spend Paperback Book Day!

Peanut butter is a spread made from ground up dry-roasted peanuts, with a bit of salt and sweeteners added. It was invented by Marcellus Gilmore Edson in 1848. Today it is a spread used on crackers, bread, toast or celery, and as a tasty ingredient in desserts and other dishes. The most popular sandwich, especially in children's school lunches, is a PB&J.
