Bombs Away!

I can't express to you guys enough how much I love Lush's bath bombs. I haven't been disappointed by them yet. But beware- if you have fragrance allergies, use these with caution. Luckily, their website has all of the ingredients listed- and most of them are natural products- which I love. The great thing about these is that they are made in the stores, not mass-produced in some factory. So when you shop at Lush, the person you're paying may very well be the person who made what you're buying.

The scents themselves are a little on the strong side, but great nonetheless. My personal favorites are:

• Avobath- an extremely clean, uplifting scent. The oils also make my skin feel fantastic.

• Big Blue- apparently supposed to smell like the Pacific ocean, which I doubt, but a great scent nonetheless. Just be aware that the middle is filled with small pieces of seaweed. I love it, but it can be a little messy. It's probably a good idea to put it in a nylon (knee high) before dropping it in your tub.

• Think Pink- a super- sweet feminine scent. It basically smells exactly like you would imagine pink sugar to smell. And it literally has pieces of candy in it. I love the smell after I got out of the tub- and it stuck with me for hours. Definitely a suggestion for a pre-date bath.

I was reluctant to try Lush's products after working in Georgetown, namely because the smell from the store is very strong- especially when they had the door open in the summer. But I'm glad I did. I genuinely love their products.
