Yesterday marked the first day of spring for us Brits and, with it, comes hopes and dreams of daffodils, butterflies and ice-creams (yay!) BUT it also marks the time of year where we must say goodbye to our winter comforts (boo!) The weather gets warmer from here on out and it'll soon be time to exchange the mega-moisture-booster-for-super-dry-skin with sweat-enhancing-make-up-sliding-sun-cream, yay? (Sorry, I'm a ginger..)
One of the saddest things about summer for me, is the lack of bathing opportunities. There's nothing worse than feeling hot and sweaty all day, just to sit in a tub of hot water, essentially cooking in human-soup (mmm yummy...) SO it's time to savour our last few baths! In honour of the imminent bath extinction, I've compiled a few things that turn any tub of water into a soothing cocoon of warmth and love!
First stop - Lush.
As far as bath bombs/balistics/melts/bubble bars go, Lush is just the absolute tits. It has such a huge range and has something for every kind of bath (hazaar!) I realise that most people find the smell of Lush quite strong and don't like replicating such strong smells at home (for these people I suggest the milder products so as not to offend your nostrils) BUT if you're a scent-whore like me, there is nothing better in the bath than a combination of bars and bombs. I love to pick a top note (check me sounding like a wine connoisseur of bath bombs), and get everything possible with a similar smell (so a rose jam + a rose queen + a rose bubble bar) alternatively you can always mix things up and create your own Lush cocktail (consider maybe a french kiss + a dream time + a twilight = perfect sleepy time recipe). Of course, using 3 different products is pretty extreme, but there's no need to use all of each - crumble up little pieces of each and combine to make the size of a normal bath bomb! Yum!
I love to keep my bath bombs in a dish on my desk to make my whole room smell lush (see what I did there ;) ) They also work super well as wardrobe fresheners or put in with your delicates (cheeky)
Ensure there's a soft, fluffy towel waiting patiently on a radiator, a nice big dressing gown and heaps of blankets and pillows to cocoon yourself in afterwards! Light yourself come candles, load up the Disney and hot chocolate, aaaaandddd.... relaaax. Relish the fleeting moments of warm, comfy goodness and dream of spring time flowers, lovely :)
Until next time,
Amber xx
