My Favorite Fruit

The park across the street has two mature pomegranate trees growing in it. This year I harvested a bunch instead of only one or two. I'm been making pomegranate juice and giving them away to friends. Happy Autumn!

I <3 LUSH

Happy Anniversary to Me!

On the way back from Canyon De Chelly we drove through Las Vegas. The motivation for me to go this route home was to shop the LUSH store there at the Mandalay Bay to buy some hair conditioner. Instead I left the store with . . .

3 Bath Bombs
2 Bath Melts
1 Bubble Bar
1 Massage Bar
1 Bar Solid Hair Conditioner

The car smelled deliciously intoxicating the whole way home.

The Bath Bombs are in the front; the big yellow ball, the big pink ball and the thing that looks like a big pill. The Bath Melts are behind the Bath Bombs; the white cupcake and the peach bar. The Bubble Bar is the raspberry swirl bar back there. The Massage Bar is the oval bar left of the Bubble Bar and the Solid Conditioner is in the box with the tag on it (they sell it by weight).


So far I've had two baths this week (in addition to daily showers of course). I used the Honey Bee Bath Bomb and the You've Been Mangoed Bath Melt. Both soothing, relaxing and fun. Looking forward to using the rest of the yummy purchases (especially the Bubble Bar), inspired to make my own Bath Bombs and blessed with a thoughtful husband who kept quiet when I filled my bag and abused the credit card on such decadence.
The main reason I wanted to stop and shop was to try the Solid Conditioner. I like the concept of using products without a plastic bottle to manage when it's all done. I know I can always recycle, but I like to reduce and reuse. The Massage Bars are cool for that reason too, they can be used as a daily moisturizer (no plastic bottle to manage). I've been using the Solid Shampoo for about a month now (my first LUSH purchase) and it's really nice. So, being free of plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles makes me happy and the Bath Bombs, Bath Melts and Massage Bars are a big bonus.
I'm new to LUSH and am HOOKED! It's addictive so, WATCH OUT!
