Baths are OVERATED!

Watch any romance. The bath is warm and steamy, the bubbles are unbelievably abundant, covering the female star in rich luxuriousness. Not in real life!

Okay, so I admit that I'm not a huge bath fan/taker anyway. But still, what is the draw? I took a bath tonight because my muscles were screaming at me, and I had a new Etsy product to try! (Plug coming) I discovered the following:

1. My bathtub is too small. This causes me to have to tilt my head up on the wall, and then be forced to look at...my belly. NOT the most pleasant thing to look at. And NOT the most relaxing, soothing experience.

2. My bathtub is dirty. Well, at least I know how I'm getting my workout tomorrow!

3. While I did have amazing bubble bath solution, the bubbles were not bigger than my head, and did not cover every inch of me; especially the aforementioned belly. *sigh*

4. As soon as you lift yourself out of the warm, soothing water, you freeze. I even turned the heat up before going in, and closed the door to keep it all in. I froze. There goes the warm fuzzy feeling I had. You spend a relaxing time in the bath (if you can look at other things then yourself) and then have to scramble to get warm again!

5. Back to the movies. HOW does anyone read a book in the bath? I took a book in with me, but didn't even attempt to open it! I didn't' want to ruin my book!

I admit there were *few* good features of the bath.

1. I got a blog article out of it.

2. I smell good.

3. My skin is soft and smooth.

Why is my skin soft, smooth, and smelly? What wonderful bubble solution did I use to achieve those great results? Plug time!



I recently purchased a sample sized "Soft Bubble Bath Dough" from Shop Red Leaf on Etsy. It is amazing. It's a firm solution, like a hard dough (hence the name). You take some out, and rub it in your hands under the faucet. Immediately, wonderful bubbles (real-life sized ones) start emerging, and the scent is amazing! I can still smell it on my skin.




I also received a sample size of her room freshener spray, in the Basil Lime scent. It is wonderful! My house smells so fresh and clean! It fills an entire room with a wonderful aroma, and lasts for a very long time!

The third item I received was the "Women's Extra Moisturizing Face Lotion". I LOVE this moisturizer! It's not greasy, and keeps my skin soft! I got this in the "Beach" scent, but I think I will go unscented for my next round. Wonderful for your face!
