From trash to masterpiece

Hey 👋 TooCool Crew,

Happy Monday Frosty Friends!

We've been hearing the whispers in the icicles and we know many of you are curious about how to build your own frosty sanctuary at home.

Today, we're putting on our wooly thinking caps with some chill-tastic DIY ice bath ideas.

Whether you're operating on a shoestring budget or ready to make a significant investment, there's a cool solution for everyone.

🛁 Old Faithful ($5 - $30)

Got a bathtub? Then you're one step closer to your own in-house spa experience. Transform your tub into a refreshing oasis by filling it with cold tap water and ice. It’s as simple as that!

Tip: To keep your ice from melting try freezing larger containers filled with water, like bottles or tupperware the night before.

🗑️ The Garbage Bin Method ($50 - $150)

For those of you on a tight budget, look no further than your local hardware store. An unused, heavy-duty plastic bin could be your ticket to cold therapy bliss.

Fill it with cold tap water, toss in some ice, and voilà, you've got yourself a DIY ice bath. Perfect for those icy thrills without the frosty bills.

🥶 The Chest Freezer Method ($700 - $1,500)

If you're willing to make a moderate investment, a chest freezer offers the perfect middle ground.

This method requires a bit of DIY know-how but gives you a semi-permanent setup with the ability to control the water temperature. Remember, safety first - you'll need to make sure all electrical parts are properly insulated and waterproofed.

🥶 The Carpenter Cool Down ($1,000 - $3,000)

For the handy TooCool Crew members, flex those DIY muscles with a custom-built, wooden ice bath.

Start by sourcing a tub that suits your size needs, then craft a supportive wooden frame around it. Not only will it be a centerpiece of your backyard, but you'll also have the satisfaction of a job well done every time you take a dip.

Nothing says commitment to cold exposure quite like a custom plunge pool - chill and thrill in style!
