A hot bath and a good book
I’m about to go sink into a very warm tub full of Lush goodies. Last week when I took a bath, I mixed about 3 different types of bubble bath and bath bombs and ended up with some kind of odd skin rash for a couple of days. It never actually showed bumps or anything on my skin but my skin felt like it was itching and burning for two days! It was awful. So tonight I’m going to keep it down to just one product in the tub. Oops!
Lush is my favorite stuff to bathe in. I love their bath bombs, their bubble bars, their bath melts, their solid shampoos and their hair & body gels. Great stuff and I recommend it! It’s pretty pricey so I normally cut their bath bombs into quarters (they’re huge!) and use tiny amounts of their soap or gels. It all goes a long way, trust me! so tonight it’s bath time and then some more reading on Snow Flower & The Secret Fan. So far it is a really good read but a very SLOW one. I’m ready to get through this book!
The last two days have been very Monday-ish and I am so sick of it. I just want to get past this weird phase I’m in right now and move on. I’ve felt like I have been in some sort of third world or daze the last two days and all I feel like doing is sleeping. My patience with people is slim to none and my attitude has not been very nice either. Hoping this bath helps mellow me out!
UPDATE: Ok, my hands were burning after my bath tonight. I used a DIFFERENT bath bomb this time, one I’ve never used before. I’m narrowing it down to the hotel soap I have in the guest bath. It’s Neutrogena brand but maybe there is something in it that is irritating my skin? Is it possible that I’m just going TOO SLOW in the bath tub and soaking for way too long? Ah well.. Gonna go read while Gene pulls all the furniture away from the walls (Pest Control guy is coming tomorrow).
