As everyone knows, the most important thing to do before taking a bath is informing your followers on social media that you’re about to dunk your dirty naked body in warm water. If there’s red wine and a book involved, a post on Instagram is encouraged. If you have a Lush bath bomb in your possession, it’s a federal crime to not make a video of it melting.

Making it public knowledge that you bathe in either glitter and what looks like a child’s vomit after eating a bunch of crayons will do wonders for your mystique. (Also, in some cases, it may make you literally look like Mystique).

Now, the crafty people of Vine have found a way to recreate this simple pleasure with their own homemade wares. The trick: literally anything in your house can be a bath bomb.

It’s best if you don’t think about it too much.

I mean, I just don’t have much other context for you.

This has happened before — the meme took off in late-2014 — but it’s returned in force over the weekend.

It’s a thing of beauty.

And I don’t need to justify my love of it to you.

Enjoy!
