Make your bubble bars last longer :)

A cool trick for bubble bars to make them last longer!!! I bought this tea strainer off of amazon.com for $2 plus $2 shipping (link at the end of this post). All you do is break off a small chunk of your bubble bar and place it in the strainer, close it up and hold it under the running water. This creates the bubbles without having to crumble it (which leads to a lot of waste since the water "throws" the small pieces sometimes before you have a chance to crumble them.) This has worked pretty nicely...I am able to stretch the Candy Cane bubble bar into 5 baths instead of 2 or 3.

The Ex Factor

I used half of the Ex Factor bath bomb in bath today. It turned the water a nice blue color and smelled really good. The water did not feel as moisturizing as the water does when using Butterball. I was kind of disappointed in that... I think that is due to the fact that the Ex Factor does not have the bits of cocoa butter in it like Butterball does. I bought 3 of these because I heard that it was so much like Butterball (which I love!!!) Overall, I feel like this is a good one to use when cock-tailing since the scent is fairly neutral.

Lush UK Customer Service

As I wrote in my UK haul post, I was disappointed in the fact that I was not sent samples or the Lush Times. I wrote an email to the UK customer service and basically, told them that I would have liked to receive the facial/lotion samples to test out because of my sensitive skin (as I explained in the comments section when I ordered). I also told them that I was not sent the Lush Times (I also asked for this in the comments section as well) and I thought I would at least get even if I didn't get samples. I explained that I know as customers we are not entitled to samples but that I think samples of facial products are very important because of how each product will react differently depending on skin types. The lady who responded was amazingly nice and said that she was sorry for the mix up. She then said to send her a list of the items I would like to sample and she would send the samples and the Lush Times to me for no charge! How awesome is that??? Lush UK seems to be the way to go when ordering online!! I'm so happy about this!

Foot Baths

Tonight, I used a small piece of Sex Bomb in a foot bath. It was great! It smelled really good, turned the water a pretty pink and was pretty moisturizing. Once I was done, I followed up with shimmy shimmy massage bar (my only massage bar right now) and my sample of Charity Pot lotion. Then I slipped socks on and my foot feel awesome! My little brother (almost 7 yrs.) found out what I did and he wanted one too. So I used only the head of the Ex Factor in his and it turned his water blue. He really liked that part.

First Lush UK haul

I was hoping to hold out on buying anything from Lush until the Valentin'es items went on sale. Little did I know, they don't...Christmas time is THE only time of year they do that sale. So I went ahead and ordered from the UK.

3 Ex factor bath bombs
2 Magic Mushroom bubble bars
1 Ma bar bubble bar

I asked for samples of face products so that I could try them because my skin tends to be on the sensitive side, I also asked for a copy of the Lush times. I DID NOT recieve anything but my purchased items :( I know that with samples its hit or miss but they couldn't even send me a Lush times???? not too happy...
