There’s a quiet strength in doing something your own way.
Whether it’s how you care for your kids, how you show up in your work, or how you navigate the moments no one sees—you might feel like you’re doing it differently. And sometimes… like no one quite gets it.
If that’s you, this is your reminder:
You might not be off-track. You might just be first.
At Mom Bomb, we know what that feels like. We’ve built a brand rooted in giving back, in offering clean, comforting self-care—and in supporting moms not just in the good times, but in moments of crisis. That path hasn’t always been easy to explain. But we followed it anyway.
Because deep down, we knew: The quiet way matters. The intentional way works. And the loving way reaches people when they need it most.
So if you’re walking a path that doesn’t look like anyone else’s… keep walking. Your care matters. Your way matters. And we see you.
With love,
The Mom Bomb Team
The Runner’s Recovery Secret No One Talks About
You get up early, before the house wakes. Or maybe you wait until after bedtime, lacing up in the dark because it’s the only sliver of time that belongs to you. You run because it makes you feel strong. Because it clears your head. Because it’s the one thing that’s yours in a life that belongs to everyone else.
But let’s be honest.
Running also wrecks you.
Your calves ache when you climb the stairs. You do that stiff-legged shuffle after a long run. Your kids laugh when you groan sitting down. And maybe—just maybe—you’ve found yourself saying:
"I’m too old for this."
No, you’re not. But your recovery routine might be.
What No One Tells You About Recovery
You take the time to run. You fuel your body. You stretch (sometimes). But how much time do you actually spend helping your muscles recover?
Because here’s the truth: A great run starts with how you end the last one.
Your muscles aren’t just sore—they’re inflamed. Your body is flooded with stress hormones. If you don’t actively recover, you’re running on fumes, setting yourself up for burnout, injury, and that dreaded moment when your body says, "Nope, not today."
And this is where I need to talk to you about what’s in your bath.
The Problem With Your Go-To Recovery Soak
I know you use Epsom salts. (Of course, you do.) They’re a runner’s best friend. But have you looked at what’s actually in them?
Dr. Teal’s—yeah, that big brand in every store? Their Epsom salts aren’t as natural as you think. They’re full of synthetic fragrances—the kind linked to endocrine disruption, hormone imbalances, and long-term health effects.
Which means while you’re soaking to recover, your body is absorbing hormone-disrupting chemicals through your skin.
And I know what you’re thinking:
"But I’ve been using them for years—what’s the big deal?"
The big deal is that you deserve better.
You put so much effort into taking care of yourself, eating the right foods, prioritizing your health… why are you soaking your muscles in something that works against everything you stand for?
The Switch That Changes Everything
When I created Mom Bomb Natural Epsom Salts, I wasn’t just thinking about a better bath—I was thinking about you.
I was thinking about:
✔ Moms who run hard but also need to recover harder
✔ Women who don’t have time to be exhausted, injured, or burned out
✔ People who care about what goes in and on their bodies
Our salts are 100% pure—no fake fragrances, no hormone-disrupting junk, just magnesium sulfate in its most natural form. The way it should be.
Because your recovery matters. Your energy matters. You matter.
But Let’s Talk About Your Kids for a Second
You know who your biggest critics are? Your kids.
They notice everything. The way you run. The way you limp around after a long run. The way you say, "Ugh, I need to soak"before collapsing into the bathtub.
What if you asked them what they think about your running?
I bet they’d say:
They see the struggle. They see the sacrifice.
But what if they also saw you taking care of yourself the right way?
What if, instead of watching you wince in pain, they watched you recover stronger?
Your Future Self Will Thank You
Think about the strongest, happiest version of you. The one who’s still running years from now. The one who doesn’t feel too old for this.
That version of you? She’s the one who prioritized recovery.
So, let me ask you:
What’s stopping you from treating your body like it deserves?
Is it habit? Is it not knowing where to start? Or is it because no one ever told you that the recovery salts you’ve been using aren’t actually good for you?
If you’re ready to run stronger, longer, and healthier—this is your sign.
Ditch the toxins. Switch to Mom Bomb Natural Epsom Salts.
And the next time your kid watches you come back from a run, maybe they’ll say:
"Mom, you don’t even walk funny anymore!"
And wouldn’t that feel good?

Post-Swim Recovery: Why Every Swimmer Needs an Epsom Salt Soak
Swimming is a low-impact, high-resistance workout that engages multiple muscle groups. Despite its fluid nature, swimmers often experience shoulder tension, joint stiffness, and fatigue due to repetitive strokes and prolonged exertion. A magnesium-rich Epsom salt soak can aid in recovery and enhance mobility.
✔️ Repetitive Motion & Shoulder Overuse: Swimmers commonly experience rotator cuff tension.
✔️ Chlorine Exposure: Chemicals in pools can lead to skin irritation—Epsom salts help detoxify.
✔️ Delayed Recovery in Cold Water Training: Post-swim warm baths aid circulation and recovery.
✔️ Relieves Muscle Tension – Reduces tightness in the shoulders and legs.
✔️ Hydrates & Softens Skin – Counteracts the drying effects of chlorinated pools.
✔️ Promotes Faster Recovery – Helps reduce post-swim soreness and improve flexibility.
Swim strong, recover fast. Get your all-natural Epsom salt soak today!"
Strength training builds muscle by causing microscopic muscle fiber tears, which then rebuild to form stronger tissue. However, without proper recovery, DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) can set in, limiting mobility and performance. Epsom salt baths offer a powerful solution to reduce inflammation and accelerate muscle repair.
✔️ Enhances Muscle Repair: Magnesium sulfate supports protein synthesis, crucial for muscle healing.
✔️ Reduces Swelling & Joint Discomfort: Strength training impacts joints—Epsom salts help ease stiffness.
✔️ Supports Nervous System Recovery: Muscle contractions and nerve signaling depend on optimal magnesium levels.

Sore Legs After a Ride? Recover Faster with This Trick
Cycling is one of the best full-body cardiovascular workouts, but long rides often lead to quad, hamstring, and calf tightness. Whether you're a road cyclist, a mountain biker, or a spinning enthusiast, post-ride soreness can impact performance if not properly managed. Epsom salt baths offer an easy and effective way to support muscle recovery and prevent stiffness.
Endurance cycling places repeated strain on the lower body, leading to: ✔️ Lactic Acid Buildup – Causes muscle soreness and stiffness
✔️ Dehydration-Related Cramps – Fluid loss increases susceptibility to muscle tightness
✔️ Inflammation in Joint Areas – Repetitive motion can create mild swelling in knees and ankles
✔️ Flushes Out Lactic Acid: A warm soak after a ride helps accelerate toxin elimination.
✔️ Reduces Inflammation: Magnesium sulfate has natural anti-inflammatory properties.
✔️ Prevents Post-Ride Cramping: Helps restore mineral balance lost through sweat.

Post-Yoga Muscle Relief: Why Epsom Salt Baths Are a Must
Yoga is renowned for its ability to enhance flexibility, reduce stress, and improve strength, but even seasoned practitioners experience muscle soreness after deep stretching or prolonged sessions. Incorporating Epsom salt soaks into your yoga recovery routine can ease post-practice stiffness and promote deep relaxation.
When stretching beyond your usual range of motion, the connective tissues and muscle fibers undergo mild strain, leading to minor inflammation and stiffness. Holding poses for long durations also increases isometric muscle engagement, making proper post-session care essential.
✔️ Relaxes Tight Muscles: Magnesium absorbs through the skin, helping release muscle tension.
✔️ Supports Joint Mobility: Reduces inflammation in overworked joints, particularly for those practicing advanced poses.
✔️ Enhances Mind-Body Recovery: A warm soak after yoga deepens the relaxation effect, supporting overall mental clarity.

How Runners Can Recover Faster: The Power of Epsom Salts
Running is an excellent cardiovascular exercise, but it also places significant strain on the muscles, leading to post-run soreness, inflammation, and fatigue. Proper recovery is essential to maintain performance, prevent injury, and support long-term endurance. One of the best natural recovery solutions is Epsom salt baths, which have been used for centuries to reduce muscle tension and promote relaxation. But not all Epsom salts are created equal.
When you run, your muscles experience micro-tears, particularly in the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. This process, known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), peaks 24-48 hours post-exercise. The key to effective recovery is reducing inflammation and replenishing magnesium levels, which can be done with Epsom salt baths.
✔️ Replenishes Magnesium Levels: Magnesium sulfate, the key component in Epsom salt, helps regulate muscle contractions and reduce cramps.
✔️ Reduces Inflammation & Soreness: A warm Epsom salt bath can help flush out lactic acid and improve circulation, reducing swelling and stiffness.
✔️ Promotes Relaxation & Faster Recovery: Warm water enhances absorption, allowing muscles to relax deeply while reducing tension.
Unlike most commercial Epsom salts that contain artificial fragrances and hormone-disrupting chemicals, Mom Bomb’s soak is 100% natural, ensuring a safe, chemical-free recovery experience.
