In our weekly series, we talk content and cocktails with maude, a modern sexual wellness brand based out of Brooklyn. Each Wednesday, we’ll offer recommended rituals for an intimate evening at home.

This week: celebrate this week’s small victories by popping open a bottle of bubbly and settling into a bubble bath.

Before—
Make like your favorite rom-com and indulge in a boozy soak in the tub. Swirl maude’s soak no. 1 into warm water for an even more luxurious soak.

During—
