BOTW: Christmas Eve (Lush)


After a particularly long 11 hour work day, I decided to relax with The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest and my favorite bubble bar ever, Christmas Eve!! I was in desperate need of some caffeine.



I only used half, but look at that mountain of bubbles! And they lasted the whole bath. This scent is so relaxing for me, and it lasts in my hair into even the next day (even after a shower with hair wash)! I would love for this to be made into a perfume (come on Lush, get on that!). It still reigns as my favorite bath product of all time (and yes, I will totally be hoarding this come boxing day).

I finished TGWKTHN! And it was amazing! I am so sad that it's over, and wish Stieg Larsson was still alive to write more. This is definitely up there on my list of favorite books. If you haven't read them, what are you waiting for!? You will not regret picking up this trilogy. =)

Happy bathing!
