I Am Not Cleopatra*
One of the things I found under the tree–which I hinted for so loudly I’m surprised it didn’t cause a tectonic shift when I dropped the hint–was a collection of Lush bath bombs.
You drop them into the water, and they fizz and dissolve, releasing a nice scent and colored water.
I used my first one yesterday.
It was orange and yellow.
Which meant, when it dissolved, that it looked like I was bathing in urine. Made bathtime slightly uncomfortable, because even though I knew it wasn’t, it was disconcertingly . . . yellow.
Can’t WAIT to see what other colors unfold.
*Who bathed in milk, reputedly, but I bet she woulda considered alternatives, if she thought it might improve her skin.

The first time I tried one of those, it had petals and, I think, glitter. The ball looked really cool. But at the end of the bath I was covered in petals and had to clean the tub, so not the most relaxing bath ever. Stick to the plain ones.

OMG. I used to LOVE Lush. Well, I still have a thing for the purple Fairy Dust (I think that’s the name) bath ball. It leaves glitter everywhere for days, including all over the boyfriend. Sort of like marking one’s territory. Heh.
Unfortunately, I tried a yellow one and it stained the bathtub porcelain to the point where it had to be completely redone. I use very few of their products now. I would be careful with any of the bath balls that have bright dyes. The pastel dyes seem to be fine.

Wow, staining porcelain - I would have had Lush redo the bathroom!
And urine - yep - so like me. I have only used a bath ball once and the clean up is not fun and I have the brain that wonders where the undissolved parts of the ball end up.
And what happens with Richard Armitage at the end of the month? I’m out of the loop!
