So, I just have to say, I am the queen of relaxation when it comes to being frazzled. I am currently taking a full course load and working about 20-25 hours a week. Might not sound like much, but if I add up all the time I am on campus a week, it would add up to about 60 hours or more a week. Craziness. I feel like I live here!
Needless to say, when I get home, I feel like doing nothing. So, this past Saturday, I made a spur-of-the-moment decision... I got my MacBook, brought up episodes from this season's edition of Project Runway, got out a body mask and a bubble bar from LUSH and just laid in the tub. It was amazing! Never under-estimate the power of a bubble bath or a hot shower... sometimes I put on Pandora and switch it on to the jazz channel or whatever mood I'm in too... or the shower can just be a good time to pray. I highly encourage taking the time to relax and treat yourself! I'll list the bubble bar and body mask I used below. Enjoy!
This product is called Glorious Mud. It's $5.95 for a block of it and it's totally worth it! I didn't use mine all at one. I crumble it into a tupperware and use as needed. I mostly use on my face, neck and upper body. It's made of Rhassoul Mud from the Atlas Mountains and it's a deep cleansing wonder! It also contains Aloe Vera to soothe and Vanilla and Sesame to moisturize. I'm always nervous about masks because I have sensitive skin sometimes and they cause me to break out, but this has been so good for my skin. I love it!
This is the bubble bar I used and you can pick it up for $9.95. It's called The Comforter and is very relaxing and soft containing sweet blackcurrents and cypress oil. The thing I love about LUSH's bubble bars is that they infuse your bath with all kinds of goodies for your skin, but also produce a luxurious bubble bath, which is really fun :)
I feel like I constantly talk about the magic of LUSH, but you just need to see for yourself! Please look for a store near you or check them out here!
Also, for the Runway fanatics... what is up with Michael C??? I'm a few episodes behind, but he is a lucky duck. I can't decide if I like him or not... plus from the episode I watched last night, I have no idea how his garment won.. if you aren't watching, check this out:
I guess I have no clue about what fashion is... ick.
