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?

Think your Dr. Teal’s bath is all relaxation and healing? Think again.
You drop in your Epsom salt, light a candle, and let the stress melt away. Or... are you actually marinating in a chemical cocktail that’s stressing your body out even more?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a lot of those mass-market bath salts and soaks (yes, even your beloved Dr. Teal’s) contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs)—a fancy way of saying "hormone-wrecking garbage" that messes with everything from your mood to your metabolism.
Since moms already have enough actual stressors (hello, lack of sleep, decision fatigue, and the existential crisis of laundry piles), let’s talk about what’s in your bath that shouldn’t be.
Most mass-market bath products contain synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates, and preservatives—all of which can interfere with your hormones.
Phthalates (found in “fragrance”): Linked to hormone disruption, reproductive issues, and increased risk of asthma in kids.
Parabens (preservatives in lotions & soaks): Mimic estrogen and have been found in breast tumor tissue.
Triclosan (in antibacterial washes): Alters thyroid function and contributes to antibiotic resistance.
📖 Source: The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences warns that endocrine disruptors can lead to reproductive, developmental, and immune system problems. [NIEHS.gov]
If you’ve ever felt any of the following, your bath could be part of the problem:
✅ Mood swings that make no sense (Hormonal imbalances at work!)
✅ Worsening PMS symptoms (EDCs mimic estrogen and disrupt cycles.)
✅ Skin issues like dryness, irritation, or breakouts (Synthetic fragrances and preservatives = skin saboteurs.)
✅ Chronic fatigue or brain fog (Endocrine disruptors mess with cortisol and thyroid function.)
✅ Trouble sleeping despite being exhausted (Your stress hormones are out of whack.)
You don’t have to quit bath time (because let’s be honest, it’s the only 30 minutes of peace we get). You just need to upgrade it.
Look for Epsom salts and bath products that are:
✅ Fragrance-free or scented with pure essential oils
✅ Paraben-free, phthalate-free, and free from synthetic dyes
✅ Made with high-quality magnesium sulfate for real stress relief
🔹 Try This Instead: Mom Bomb’s Epsom salt and bath bomb collections give you the relaxation without the toxic baggage.

Moms take care of everyone—so when we finally get a moment to ourselves, we deserve products that actually support our health, not undermine it.
Ditch the hormone disruptors and upgrade to a bath soak that truly relaxes your body, soothes your mind, and supports your well-being.
🔹 Try Mom Bomb today—because the only thing your bath should be soaking in is peace, not preservatives.
