Ah, the luxury tax. A single bath bomb from a hipster store costs $6 to $12. A cheap bar of soap? Maybe 50 cents. A squirt of Dr. Bronner’s? About 20 cents. But let’s be honest: you’re not just buying soap; you’re buying the illusion of being a woodland fairy. That bath bomb is a lie, and I love it.
If you use a Lush bath bomb, you’re now spending more on fragrance than on the actual water. A $10 bomb plus $1.50 in hot water equals a $11.50 soak. That’s more than a movie ticket. And the movie doesn’t leave you smelling like a unicorn’s armpit.
