  • lush: it's true i am a lush for lush and you should be too. my personal favorites, tramp body wash and shampoo is perfect for those holidays where you are limited on luggage space. ceridwen's cauldron bath melt is an amazing skin softening bundle of plants and cream that makes you feel like a princess (even if your tub is tinyer than a kiddie pool). angles on bare skin is the perfect exfoliator for those whose skin is so sensitive that starts to hurt at the mere mention of the word exfoliant. hot java, sex bomb, big blue, waving not drowning and think pink bath bombs make any bath better. hint: for bath bombs and melts that contain plants and other floating goodies slip into muslin or cheese cloth before droping in the tub for easier clean up afterwards.
