Why Self-Care Is Actually Survival Care (And How One Bath Bomb Can Help)

It’s 3 p.m. You haven’t eaten. The laundry’s overflowing. Your to-do list could wallpaper the house. And someone just yelled “MOM!” for the 17th time.

Sound familiar?

Somewhere along the way, self-care got marketed as bubble baths and indulgent Sundays. But for moms navigating real-life crises—whether it’s job loss, illness, or just the sheer weight of doing it all—self-care is less about luxury and more about survival.

At Mom Bomb, we believe that taking five minutes to breathe deeply in a hot shower, to scrub your skin and reset your nervous system, isn’t frivolous. It’s life-saving. And we built our entire nonprofit model on that truth: 100% of profits from every bath bomb, salt soak, and scrub go to moms in crisis.

Self-care is the moment you reclaim your sanity.
It’s not fluff. It’s function.
And when you care for yourself, even just a little, you have more to give—without losing yourself.
