#bath melts
Right now more than ever we need to mobilize and make ourselves heard. I hope you attended the women’s march, but if you couldn’t make that, please show your support for other marches, like those for Black Lives Matter.
After the women’s march, I was pretty zonked and my feet hurt, so I came home and took a fancy bath featuring this Happy Thoughts bath melt from my UK order.
it has a sweet, citrus scent and contains both Brazilian orange and neroli oils. Two of my favourites! This was the perfect way to end a long day, and when (if) they start selling it in North America, I’ll definitely grab more!

Furze is a bath melt rolled in elderflower, with three amaranth flowers pressed into the top. Most bath melts start to melt immediately in the hot water, but this one slowly sheds a flurry of elderflowers before it begins to spread green and bright through the water.
This looks really beautiful but has the unfortunate effect of smelling like Play-Doh. Seriously. My bathroom smells like play-doh, I smell like play-doh… it’s not a great scent. And while the flowers seem romantic, I found myself covered in blooms after the bath and had to towel off pretty aggressively.
As with any bath melt like this, make sure you use a drain strainer when you pull the plug, and clean it out thoroughly after.

Is there a bath melt more beautiful than Monsieur Gustav? Maybe, but it’s bright purple colour was so immediately striking that this is the one that sticks out in my mind the most.
I wanted to spend most of my weekend napping and cleaning the apartment, and this seemed like a good pick. Monsieur Gustav has a sleepy lavender and rose scent, and quickly filled my bath with purple-pink.
It’s super moisturizing, it smells lovely, and you can tell people you spent the evening with Monsieur Gustav. What’s not to like?

Since it’s the new year, the LUSH valentines line is out, which means I picked up a whole bunch of things, including this LUSH Two Hearts Beating As One bath melt.
I love how LUSH goes all out for holidays. This is basically two interlocking bath melts - one orange, one pink. Together they have a very mellow scent. LUSH describes it as ylang ylang and rose, and I think the rose is the significantly stronger of the two, because it had that kind of feel to it.
This thing lit up my bath in hot pink and orange very quickly, and was just what I needed. I haven’t been able to take a nice bath in ages (work work work work work) and my skin felt so dry and itchy. ;_; Winter in Toronto, you know?
This bath melt is bigger than most and left me feeling so relieved and moisturized. Definitely a favourite in the valentines line!

TheSun bath oil is only available in the UK right now, so I added it to my UK order. The outside is a gold-bronze sheen, and underneath is a bright orange core that has a lovely citrus scent thanks to brazilian orange oil. (I am a sucker for all things citrus, okay?)
I found this super moisturizing with a bright, uplifting scent and I can’t wait for this to hopefully come out in Canada. Please, Lush? Please?

I have been waiting and waiting for the Shark Infested Custard bath melt to come out in North America so I could try it, but I couldn’t wait so I just ordered it from the UK. I’m weak like that.
This has a lovely sweet vanilla scent, and the little fin up top is made of ‘melon paper’, which basically dissolved in the bath. It’s super moisturizing thanks to cocoa butter, shea butter, jojoba oil and coconut oil and I need them to bring this out in Canada like, yesterday.

The Flower’s Barrow bath melt is kind of hard to photograph - I swear it looks way less like food in real life.Under the layer of delphinium petals is a verdant green sphere filled with chamomile oil, geranium oil, and black currant absolute.
The petals spread out slowly through the bath, so this takes a little longer to melt, which is kind of nice, honestly. It’s a very relaxing bath with a scent that reminds me of fresh cut grass. The middle of this actually puffed out white clouds, so the final bath colour is a very gentle green over all. It’s lovely! When is this coming to Canada??
