Bubble bath recommendations

My son loves bubble bath (who doesn't?) but he keeps going after my expensive and hard to obtain baby soap. I want to get him something that he can play with. so cheap with the most bubbles for my bucks. I also want to know what you use for self care days. Best smells, skin feel, maximum bubbles.

    Have you considered making bubble bath? Some recipes I've seen online indicate natural dish soap or baby shampoo and glycerin to make bubble bath. One of my female friends only uses Pidgeon brand baby soap to cleanse her face. It's available at some pharmacies but not everywhere. When I don't have time to go to onsen, I run a bath with yuzu or hinoki bath tablets. Way cheaper than Lush, and I love the fragrance wafting about the house.

    Not much help about bubble bath recommendations, my two are obsessed with the bath bombs that have small toys inside so we occasionally pick some up at Daiso. As for my own self care, I love bath bombs and bubble bars from Lush but I do think they're a bit of a splurge item. I usually break the bubble bars up into several pieces to get the most value from them, but scent wise I think they are better than any other products out there!

    I'm not sure about bubbly baths but on my self care days I like to use the onsen style bath powder (probably available in many drug stores.

Summer reading

I know there have been questions in the past about what we're watching, but I'm wondering what you're reading at the moment! I'm looking to get a few new books for summer and I'd love to hear if you have any recent recommendations. If you have any good spots here to get EN language books in person, too, I'd appreciate if you would share those as well!

Condiments in your fridge?

Just for fun! I was thinking the other day how different the contents of my fridge are to the fridge I grew up with! Just one example, I always have soy sauce in my fridge and usually at least one other unopened bottle in the cupboard. There was never soy sauce in my fridge growing up. And the friends I grew up with don't have soy sauce in their fridges even now. But my Uni friends all have soy sauce in their fridges, because they all lived in Japan for at least a year. I was just wondering what things do you have in your fridge here that you probably wouldn't have in your fridge in your home country had you never lived here.
