January 8 - National Bubble Bath Day

 Happy National Bubble Bath Day! During a cold winter’s day, relaxing in a nice warm/hot bubble bath sounds like the perfect way to commemorate this random holiday, of which is celebrated annually every year.

The bubbles on top of the water (also known as foam bath or foaming bath) insulate the bathwater, keeping it warmer for a more extended period.

  

• •  Children find bubble baths fun and enjoy playing with the bubbles, which entice them to take their baths. 
• •  Some bubble bath, bath foam, or foaming bath serves a dual purpose and can also be used to wash skin or hair. 
• •  Bath foam preparations may be in the form of a liquid, gel, or as solids in the form of powders, grains, or tablets. 

According to the AC Nielsen Data, Mr. Bubble® is the number one brand of bath products in the United States. America’s favorite bath-time buddy, as well as mom’s trusted partner for over half a century, it celebrated its 50th birthday in 2011! Mr. Bubble® is a brand of bath products made by The Village Company.

The brand’s slogan is “Makes Getting Clean Almost as Much Fun as Getting Dirty!”

In 1961, American businessman Harold Schafer, along with the Gold Seal Company of North Dakota, founded Mr. Bubble®. The Gold Seal company afterwards manufactured and distributed Mr. Bubble® until 1986 when the company was sold.

  

Over time, Mr. Bubble® bubble bath products have been reformulated. They are now tear-free, dermatologist-tested, hypoallergenic, and pediatrician tested. Mr. Bubble® television show appearances include:

• •  The Simpsons

HOW TO OBSERVE

Prepare yourself a relaxing bubble bath. Bubble baths offer health benefits, too.

  

• •  Relieve congestion – During the dry winter months, we are more susceptible to colds and chest infections. Let the steam from a bubble bath help loosen congestion and sooth a cough.  
• •   Ease sore muscles – Are muscles aching from new year’s workouts? Ease the ache with a warm bubble bath. Add some Epsom salts, too.  
• •  Sleep better – Add some lavender oil to your bubble bath at night and relax your body and mind before bed. Relaxed muscles combined with the lavender will nudge your body toward a better sleep routine. 
• •  Reduce tension – Let the worries of the day wash away.

HISTORY

The country has been celebrating National Bubble Bath Day since at least 1999. However, National Day Calendar® has been unable to find the creator of the day. Maybe the creator is still taking a bubble bath.
