Workouts in the Shower (ft Lush Pumice Power*)

*Press Sample

I'm using the Flexitol Heel Balm* but my foot routine could use one last charge to really make them decent for public viewing. The  LUSH's Pumice Power* has been my final push and my heels and butt haven't looked better. In all the ways that our bodies are able to contort themselves, I wouldn't have thought that a foot pumice would cause me to perform these in the shower.

Eating Oatmeal - Lush Porridge

It might be boring but almost every morning I eat oatmeal and I'm quite picky about the Oatmeal I eat too. Never "instant" or "quick oats", I reach for "rolled oats" but my first preference is always "steel cut" or "pinhead oats". Though longer to cook, all the nutritional benefits of oatmeal are maintained which are lost when eating pulverized quick oats. 

Getting oatmeal in my daily diet is a healthy way to start the day but another awesome thing about oatmeal is that LUSH uses it in their Porridge soap - my favorite of all the LUSH soaps.

LUSH: Salt and Peppermint Bark Shower Scrub*

*Press Sample

Pumpkin Spiced Lattes (and everything else) have reached near "Rite of Passage" status during the Fall and Winter months but personally, I've always enjoyed Peppermint Mochas much more. I also enjoy Peppermint patties, peppermint tea, and peppermint chocolate so I was bound to enjoy the scent of LUSH's Salt and Peppermint Bark Shower Scrub* ($9.95CDN).

The Thing...in the Bathroom*

The Thing, in the bathroom, has found you.

It waits and comes out when you are gone. It waits and comes out, out of the pipes, out of the bathtub, into your home.

The Thing, in the bathroom, is learning about you.

A Time and Place for Salt

*Press sample

Some chef's say you should season between every step of cooking while others may only season near the end. More often that not, salt is the seasoning of choice and I have on hand table and sea and am not afraid to brine, crust, or just slightly top an ingredient in salt. But I have learned the hard way, that there is a place and time for salt.

Lush Solid Shampoos - Copperhead and Lullaby*

*Press Sample

David and I took a vacation down the Westcoast one summer via train. The train ride was awesome and everyone should take that route if they can. In Portland, Oregon we stayed with his friends and in an effort to pack light, I had brought a near used up LUSH Seanik Solid shampoo bar. 

LUSH Yes Yes Yes Gift Set*

Some of my friends do not enjoy LUSH; the scents are overwhelming, the colors too bright, the prices too high. But when I tell them, that not only do I use these for myself, but I share them with David...well, sometimes they come around (that, and a bubble bar demonstration usually cinches the deal). As much as I love to use LUSH products on myself, they are also the perfect little things to share with my partner. 

Lush Hair* - Blousey and H'Suan Wen Hua

*Press Samples

After Herb gave my hair a rather dry send off, Blousey* shampoo and H'suan Wen Hua* treatment from LUSH seemed like good ways to nurture my locks back to health.  I've tried LUSH's solid shampoos (mostly out of curiosity), but I had yet to dip my hands into their potted versions. Since I'm all for hair promiscuity, I'm more than willing to experiment with shampoos in any format or size.

Spring with Lush*!

I'm a huge LUSH fan and have converted more than a few people into LUSH lovers as well. Their Spring collection just launched and there are more than a few interesting goodies to pick up! I won't be able to test out the bath stuff just yet but am super excited to soak in the bf's tub at the end of April when I'm back home.
