Lush by Levine

Note to self: Always try your products before giving them to other people.

So I decided that it was prudent that I take a bath this afternoon (#1 thing to do on day off) and use both the bath fizzies and the peppermint sugar scrub.  I grabbed my jar of peppermint fizzies and started the bath water.  A hint for those of you that have received the fizzies and have yet to use them.  In order to benefit from the aromatherapy properties of said fizzies, drop at least 3 if not 4 into the bath as you are sitting in the water.  The scent of peppermint was eye-opening but didn't last long.  However, the fizzies also act as a softener on the skin, which was nice.

The sugar scrub I found is best used with a long-handled bath brush or loofah on a stick.  If you use it with your hands (at least with my hands), it tickles!  This stuff is fantastic for softening the feet and getting off any stubborn dirt on your feet (yes my feet were really dirty!).  The scent is really nice and the oil in the scrub really softens the skin.  The only downside was the slipperiness of my bathtub following using the scrub.  And I was temporarily turned pink (just my feet) which washed off with my shower.

Shelly and I went to Sun Harvest Farms this past weekend and I picked up some new essential oils.  I'm looking forward to experimenting with pomegranate vanilla and an orange/clove mix.  I'm gonna make some new fizzies for myself and some new sugar scrub with organic sugar (and no food coloring) and plan to look into a new oil for the scrubs instead of grapeseed oil.  It's time to tweak this recipe so that it's mine.

Does anyone know where I can get waterproof computer labels???

  1. Try something like this: http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Products/Labels/Identification-Labels/Durable-I.D.-Labels_06576.htm?N=4294967291&Ns=&refchannel=c042fd03ab30a110VgnVCM1000002118140aRCRD

    Ought to be durable enough, not to be submerged, maybe, but to wipe.
