[quote=""Rowan""]ellenjane... yes I agree about the prices so I usually consider it a luxury. Thankfully the shop here is in a rather out-of-the-way place, the French Quarter, and as it's a pain to park down there, I don't go but once every few months.

EC... it was recommended to me that if you buy the bath bombs with the bits in them, put the bomb into a stocking first then put it into the bath. That way all the bits are trapped in the stocking.

Aha! Good idea. Thanks ellenjane. I'll do that next time!
I usually ask Santa to put a few bath bombs under the tree at Xmas.

The products sound fun. Unfortunately, I'm a shower gal married to a man who doesn't care for scented things (they make his sinuses miserable), so a Lushie I shall never be.

Even if the fragrances are natural? That Avobath is scented with lemon grass. :) And they've just started making shower bombs too. That's their latest product. I'm generally a shower gal too, with baths being a luxury themselves.

I sure can't take credit for that! On our trip to NY last year, I put a "garden party" bath bomb in a hotel whirlpool tub. It was a nice relaxing bath, but I spent the rest of the evening cleaning up all of the petals it left. Good idea for the future, though. ;)


ETA: Now I'm looking at the website and seeing that there are actually three shops somewhat near me. Dangerous, dangerous!

The do a shower gelly that is lovely! You rub it in before you get in the shower, and if you can, you leave it on for as long as poss before getting wet. Your body absorbs the smell and lovely soothing oils!

BTW....I am a Lushie too!
A good book and a good coffee, what more can anyone want? xx

There are only three at the moment... one to wake you up, one to help you relax before going to bed and one to use with your partner before a night of romance.

Over at Epinions, there's a huge following who have written up reviews on LUSH products. I keep thinking about trying their products, but since there isn't a store near me, so far I've been safe. I am a big fan of Crabtree and Evelyn tho.

hahaha! i totally thought you were
looking for a drinking buddy. =D
and i don't--except for lattes and boba.

i go to england once a year, and
saw lush way back when. for being
a great fan of soaps (and only soaps,
perhaps this is the problem), i don't
usually use too much of their products.

i'm more a french soap fan--l'occitane
being the generic brand of shea butter
provence soaps i love.

great topic!
