But it’s more than just a date on the calendar. Behind this question is something deeper—a recognition that time moves fast, and that sometimes, the people who give us the most get remembered last.
This year, let’s flip that.
Let Mother’s Day be more than a reminder to buy flowers. Let it be a *pause*. A return. A way to say: “I see you. I haven’t forgotten.”
A Brief History
Mother’s Day became a national holiday in the U.S. in 1914, thanks to Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor the sacrifices mothers make for their children. Ironically, she later protested its commercialization.
Which is why we’re here—to remember that this day isn’t about price tags. It’s about presence.
What to Do Once You Know the Date
- Put it in your calendar *right now*.
- Plan a gift that doesn’t feel rushed.
- Write her a letter.
- Gift her an at-home spa day, a box of care, or a ritual that helps her feel seen.
At Mom Bomb, we don’t just make bath products—we create the moments that help you slow down enough to notice the people who matter most.

If you've ever felt like no one quite gets the way your brain works—this is for you.
For most of my life, I’ve felt like I was seeing the world through a totally different lens. I’d pick up on things others missed. I’d feel things more deeply. I’d think in ways that didn’t quite match what people around me considered "normal."
And honestly? I spent a long time wondering: “Am I just imagining this?” Or worse: “Is something wrong with me?”
Then I stumbled on the work of a man named Ludwig Wittgenstein. He lived over 100 years ago and was one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. But he wasn’t what you’d expect. He was intense. Emotional. Deeply misunderstood. And he spent his life trying to describe the unexplainable.
He said things like:
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.”
Reading his work was like hearing my own inner voice reflected back at me.
And then I found out he died on my birthday.
It gave me chills.
This wasn’t just someone I admired. It felt like I had found the source of something I’d been carrying for a long time. Like he dropped a thread, and I picked it up.
But here’s the difference between us: He gave up. He stepped away. He isolated. I won’t.
Because I believe we’re meant to build together. To share our stories. To help each other feel less alone in the weirdness.
So if you’ve ever felt too sensitive, too intense, or just too different—maybe you’re not broken. Maybe you’re carrying something powerful that someone else never got to finish.
And maybe that’s your gift.
Every year, Mother’s Day rolls around with soft colors, curated gift guides, and smiling stock photos.
But here’s the part no one says out loud:
There are a lot of moms who are just trying to survive the day.
Not celebrate it.
They’re not ungrateful.
They’re not dramatic.
They’re just tired.
Tired of being the emotional anchor, the unpaid laborer, the crisis manager, and still expected to smile when they unwrap another mug that says “Supermom.”
They don’t need a mug.
They need help.
That’s why Mom Bomb exists.
Because flowers don’t solve childcare.
Chocolates don’t cover rent.
And candles don’t cancel the weight of unpaid labor.
When you shop with Mom Bomb, your gift becomes a lifeline—for a real woman, with a real family, in a real moment of need.
This isn’t charity.
It’s a new form of commerce—one built on truth.
We’re saying the thing most brands won’t:
If you want to truly honor mothers—see them fully.
See the mental load.
See the medical emergencies.
See the housing insecurity.
See the way they’ve been asked to carry it all with no net.
Then do something that actually makes a difference.
A Mom Bomb bath isn’t just a gift.
It’s a vote for a better system.
Let it smell like lavender.
Let it feel beautiful.
But let it do more.
Because moms deserve better.
And this year, we’re building it with every thing we ship.
Let’s tell the truth:
The self-care industry isn’t built to restore women.
It’s built to sell the illusion of relief—without ever addressing the structures causing the burnout in the first place.
Buy the candle.
Run the bath.
Use the serum.
And then… go right back to holding the entire world together.
At Mom Bomb, we asked a different question:
“What if self-care didn’t just feel good—what if it actually did good?”
We knew women didn’t need another pastel bottle telling them to breathe.
They needed a product that recognized what they were breathing through.
So we created a bath line that does both:
- Delivers a luxury experience
- And moves real money to real women in crisis
Because self-care has been weaponized.
It’s been used as a marketing tool to distract women from the systems that keep them exhausted.
It’s told us to “relax” while ignoring the invisible labor of caregiving, emotional load, and economic fragility.
Mom Bomb doesn’t participate in that narrative.
We see self-care differently.
- A rebellion, not an escape
- A frequency, not a façade
- A signal that says: “This moment belongs to me—and someone else benefits from it too.”
Every soak funds housing, transportation, childcare, and basic needs for moms in crisis.
We’re not just restoring the body.
We’re restoring the balance.
It’s this:
Take care of yourself in a way that changes the system while you do it.
That’s what Mom Bomb is here for.
And we’re only just beginning.
Let’s get this out of the way first:
Yes, we really give 100% of our profits.
No, it’s not a gimmick.
And no, it’s not a feel-good side project.
It’s the core of why Mom Bomb exists.
We weren’t built to chase scale.
We were built to redirect it.
Because when you look around at most consumer brands—especially in the bath and beauty aisle—you’ll see products marketed as “empowering,” “ethical,” or “inspired by women”…
but very few are actually doing something for the women they claim to represent.
We flipped the funnel.
Instead of asking how much we could extract from the customer,
we asked:
“How much relief can this product deliver?”
Every purchase of a Mom Bomb product sends money directly to moms in crisis—moms who need emergency childcare, groceries, transportation, housing, medical advocacy, and more.
No strings. No red tape. No PR stunt.
Because moms don’t get partial emergencies.
So we don’t give partial help.
The truth is, if you’re a mom in crisis, you don’t need a portion of proceeds or a quarterly donation drive.
You need actual assistance—now.
That’s what we built.
We get this question all the time.
And the answer is: we run lean.
We’re founder-led.
We’re mission-backed.
And we believe that if you build with the right signal, the world will start to tune in.
The truth is, we’re not trying to become the next giant CPG brand.
We’re trying to build a new system—where a consumer product can simultaneously care for the customer and restore dignity to the people the economy has forgotten.
Because Mother’s Day is coming.
And while every brand will be offering bundles and discounts,
we’re offering a better system.
A system that says:
“We see you. We’ve been you. And we’re here to help.”
You don’t have to choose between gifting something beautiful and doing something meaningful.
With Mom Bomb, you get to do both.
We didn’t set out to build a bath brand.
We set out to build a correction.
For every mom who’s been told to “relax” while quietly holding the weight of the world—
For every woman who’s bought into self-care while being systemically depleted—
For every founder who refused to sell out just to scale—
Mom Bomb is for you.
We built this brand because we were tired of surface-level solutions.
Because the world didn’t need another lavender soak.
It needed a signal embedded in form—a product that gives back by design.
It’s a luxury bath product that looks indulgent—
but beneath the packaging, 100% of our profits go to helping mothers in crisis.
That’s not a slogan.
That’s the operating model.
We’ve paid for emergency childcare, housing assistance, groceries, transportation, and more.
Because when you support Mom Bomb, you’re not just buying a bath.
You’re supporting a family in freefall.
- We don’t exist to scale profit.
- We exist to restore dignity through commerce.
- Our brand was built using a system called Signal First—a way of doing business that aligns emotional integrity with business structure.
We believe self-care is not selfish.
But it shouldn’t be shallow.
Every jar we sell is a product and a message.
And the message is:
“We see you. We’ve been you. And we’re changing the rules.”
Because we’re heading into another Mother’s Day where brands will flood you with soft pink packaging and one-time discounts—
but never talk about what it actually costs to be a mother in crisis.
We will.
And we’re not going anywhere.
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.
Enhance your yoga practice with our pure, natural recovery soak!
