With the finish line of 2023 in sight, we just want to relax in a hot bath or shower and enjoy some I-deserve-this downtime. In this daydream scenario, no one knocks (or scratches—go away, Auggie!) on the door or asks, “Mom, where’s my…” for the entire 20 minutes.

Obviously we want to enhance the transporting-power of the experience with a product that softens our skin, relaxes our muscles, or pleases our olfactory senses (or all three!). Here are several favorite products of Team AMR members.

Cosset Bath Bomb

“Therapeutic, amazing formulas and fragrances. Feels very indulgent, like a rich treat. Best part? It leaves no residue or ring in the tub!” —Melissa Gilley, Retreat Coordinator

Kiehls Creme de Corps Smoothing Oil to Foam Body Cleanser

“While living in Colorado, I had to fight dry skin all the time, so I searched for something to help. I love this shower gel not only for its moisturizing benefits, but also its delicious fragrance!” —Amanda Loudin, podcast co-host

Dr. Teal’s Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak

“Dr. Teal’s products always elevate my bath and shower experience, helping me feel relaxed and refreshed. I’ve used their mineral soaks for years, but only recently started using the body wash. I love the variety of options, so I can always find one to fit my needs—I especially love these pink Himalayan products.” —Brooke Thames, BAMRbassador Coordinator

Dove Mango/Almond Butter Body Wash

“I absolutely love the scent, and it lathers up just enough—some other body washes I’ve tried are ridiculously sudsy!” —Michelle San Antonio, Community Supporter

Pré de Provence Artisanal French Bar Soap

“I am a soap connoisseur: I love all the smells and feels of a good soap. I do not want any film or greasiness, either. This soap is one of my favorites! The Lemon Mojito one has enough zest to it to feel sassy and start or end my day on a high note!” —Jennifer Harrison, Heart + Sole and Triathlon Programs Coach

L’oreal Elvive Shampoo + Conditioner

“I’m a no-nonsense hair product gal, and I’m skeptical of brands that promise the moon. A friend told me about this shampoo and conditioner, and the hyaluronic acid it contains makes my hair incredibly soft and bouncy, like I’ve been to the salon. I love it!” —Cathy Engstrom, TLAM Website Manager

Billie Razor

“I love that it always gives me a good, irritation-free shave. Plus, it comes in bright, happy colors and hangs on my tile shower walls with a magnetic holder!” —Jessica Hofheimer, Traditional TLAM Club Programs Coach

ATTITUDE Super Leaves Shower Gel

“I’ve slowly been switching to non-toxic products whenever possible, so first of all, it’s ‘clean,’ it still creates a nice lather. I also enjoy the light, fresh scent. And, as a designer, I love the packaging on this bottle.” —Megan York, graphic designer

Alone Time

“My favorite shower product is alone time. I never get any silence or privacy aside from shower time and even then it’s not guaranteed. It helps me reset and wind down and not think.” —Amy Skorich, Traditional TLAM Club Programs Coach
