I'll be the first to say my attention span, or lack there of, can use a little beefing up. Anything that is bland and boring will lose my focus in 3.5 seconds flat. HOWEVER, the point of this post was not about me, but about something far more superior- bath time or more specifically Lush Bath Bombs. Almost every "zen" person I know, the kind of person I aspire to be, is a lover and advocate for taking a nice hot bath to unwind. I tried desperately to become a bath lover as well, but it just didn't work out. Plain baths lacked pizzazz to keep me interested and bubble baths lost their fun once the suds began to dwindle, and so for years I ignorantly wrote off baths as being something I can enjoy. Then I walked inside a Lush Cosmetics store and bought myself a Bath Bomb; after that nothing was the same.

For anyone who doesn't know, Lush is fresh , handmade cosmetics company (kind of like the Whole Foods of the beauty world). Some of their products they are best known for are their Bath Bombs, fizzling scented (and sometimes colored) nuggets of wonderful that take baths to a whole new level. In my experience, each Bath Bomb I used left my skin feeling soft and lustrous, making me feel less guilty about stocking up on them- sure they were fun and most definitely entertaining, but they also were nourishing and soothing to my skin, that's a two for one right there. There's a bath bomb for every mood, for times when you want a zing of orange to energize you for the day or those moments when you want the fragrance of rosemary to help you de-stress after a long day, no matter what Lush has you covered.
Out of all of the Bath Bombs I have tried, the Fizzbanger was by far my favorite. Infused with a concoction of Lush' essential oil blend, this bomb starts off with a scent of cinnamon and fresh apples and ends with an aroma of "cinnamon toffee", as said on the company's website, this bath bomb turns a nighttime soak into a deliciously sweet experience. On top of the wonderfully decadent scent, the colors of this product are AMAZING. The yellow outer shell melts away to reveal a bright blue core and the colors swirl together into a beautiful tie-dye pattern.
As the Bath Bomb continues to fizz, rock candies embedded inside begin to pop, adding to the firework imagery the master crafters at Lush were going for. My favorite thing about Lush is that they think of EVERYTHING. Their products, especially the Bath Bombs create an entire experience for the user. I mean the Fizzbanger Bath Bomb leaves the customer a little present even after it dissolves away: the cutest little cartoon sign with an old fashion comic BANG! on it.
How could you not love that? Lush puts so much thought and dedication into each of their products, I would find it difficult to not absolutely love and admire all of them. I'm hoping to pick up some of Lush's Valentine's Day collection so if that wish comes true, you guys can absolutely expect a post on those lovely creations. Regardless, my Lush obsession is not stopping here. If there's anything specific anyone thinks I should try out, feel free to let me know.
