Okay, let's get one thing straight...whoever said baths were relaxing obviously had the biggest, deepest, warmest tub with the best, most bubbly, and fantastic bath stuff they could find. Taking a bath is a freakin' hassle.
With that said, I'd also like to add that baths are somewhat nasty. You're basically swimming in your own filth. Which is how I've always felt about baths. Which is why I typically take showers. And also why I would typically take a shower before bathing, as absurd as that is. Like, what about shaving? All that extra hair has got to go somewhere when it falls off your razor so you unfortunately end up sitting in a pile of floating hair from your legs and other bits. Ew. Rule #1 of bathing etiquette: No shaving in the bath. Do that in your pre-bath shower.
So, anywho. Went to LUSH today. Fell completely in love with every single product but limited myself to just three for now. First, a fresh blueberry face mask to calm red skin and hydrate it beautifully. Successful, I'd say. Second, a yummy massage bar with black pepper and something else cool to help release sore muscles. You rub it around a little and it melts just enough to leave a bit of massage oil, which was cool. So I gave myself a little foot massage. Not too shabby. And finally, a bath bomb. This little ball of fizz dissolves in the bath water, has a really sweet fragrance and turns the water into a foamy, milky and, best of all, glittery gold mess.
Back to my whole anti-bath theory. Rule #2: Use piping hot water, because it will cool down quickly. And it will be unpleasant.
The bath bomb was nice. I definitely liked the gold water. And I must say that I now smell delicious.
Rule #3: Do not wash your hair in a milky pool of gold dust. It will not get clean.
After a few minutes of wasting all my warm water just sitting there deciding whether or not I was enjoying my "bath", I figured I should start actually "bath"ing myself. It seemed like a good idea at first, but after dunking my head into the sparkles I knew I was wrong. Washing out my conditioner was a bitch for 2 reasons. 1: I'm way too tall for my bathtub so I'm forced to slide all the way down with my feet in the air to get water to flow anywhere near my chest. And 2: The bath bomb made my water turn basically to butter and left my hair feeling just as creamy as when I first put the conditioner on my head. Plus glitter.
After maybe a 20 minute ordeal I decided to be done and washed the gold stuff down the drain. I think I managed to relax at least a little bit, and I definitely feel nice and soft and pretty for no reason. So maybe baths are okay. Given the correct sized bath and good products, it would be nice to take one here and there.
Minus any shaving or hair washing. XX.
