Bath Time Fun

The quickest way to end bath time fun? Run a comb through wet, tangled knots. Avoid the unnecessary drama (and shrieks of pain) by using a hair product like Aussie's Bloomin' Apple Detangler. It not only works out the tricky knots painlessly, it smells good too. Now the only protests you'll hear will be about getting out of the tub.

Colored Shaving Cream

Grab some plastic containers, food coloring and sensitive-skin shaving cream and mix. You'll have a bona fide rainbow in your very own bathroom.
