A Beautiful Blue Ocean June 7, 2008
LH422 (Washington, USA)
This bomb turns a bath into a beautiful tropical ocean. The deep blue color penetrates the water, turning it a dark and tranquil blue. The fresh scent is mellow and calming. The bath bomb softens the water and with tons of fragrance, you feel as though you're surrounded by luxury. This bath bomb is an experience- for those who like color, scent, aromatherapy in their baths, this is a don't-miss.
Relax June 2, 2008
L. Wright (Greeneville, TN)
This is my favorite bath bomb from Lush (so far!) I loved the lavender and lime scent- very refreshing. I used the bomb after a long day at work and almost fell asleep in the tub! Some people don't like the mess of the seaweed but as Lush states on their site- you can always wrap it in a nylon! I love Lush!
Mermaid Bath April 27, 2008

Swimming in the sea with seaweed all around you seems normal, but looking into your tub and seeing so much seaweed swimming around made me a little nervous (normally I'm more brave) and I did consider looking for a strainer. However I said to myself: "Self, you get in that tub and stop being so silly." And so I did and the experience was rather pleasant. I'm used to rose petals floating about, but this was actually even better as the seaweed doesn't tickle.
So, what happens when you add this bath bomb to the tub? Well, it is one of the prettiest Lush baths which foams around the bath, first creating an island that looks also like a volcano bubbling up from the tub. Then the colors appear about as the bath bomb swirls beneath the foamy island, creating a seashore and waves. It is actually very interesting.
Finally, you have a deep blue bath with Atlantic Sea Salt. The lavender oil and lemon oil seem to deep cleanse the skin and the lemon oil is rather refreshing. The Seaweed seems to float about, but then it just keeps to itself until you stir it back up into the water by moving around.
So, if you are looking for a deep cleansing spa-like experience and you don't mind swimming about like a mermaid in seaweed, then this might be for you. If you don't like the seaweed, you might be able to put this in some cheesecloth, tie it up with a string and still get all the benefits, without all the seaweed floating about. It would be cute if they packaged this in some netting with a string.
Big Blue is perhaps the most adventurous Lush bath product I've tried. If you prefer rose petals, try the Romance in a Stone bath ballistic (has a romantic poem inside). I'm also looking forward to trying "Still Life" with sunflower petals, lemon and wild sweet orange. Life would be less fun without Lush. The therapy massage bar is lovely after this bath and you might enjoy the Sea Vegetable Soap - it also seems to have the same seaweed in it.

| | Beauty Recipies | Herbal Teas for CoughsThyme, Hyssop and Sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried hyssop
1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
1 cup water, barely boiled Place the herbs in a teapot. Pour the boiling water over them, cover and steep 10 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey. Cool a bit and sip slowly in 1-ounce doses as needed (up to 2 cups a day for no more than a few successive days). Do not use excessively. The tea can be gargled an ounce at a time for topical relief of a scratchy throat. For sipping, combine with plenty of honey for its throat-coating action. Linden and Licorice
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon chopped dried licorice root
2 teaspoons dried linden flowers Bring water to a boil in a glass or stainless steel pan. Add licorice root, reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place the linden flowers in a teapot. Pour the unstrained licorice decoction over the linden, cover and steep 10 minutes. Sweeten with honey, if desired. Take in 1/2 cup doses, as needed. This tea is also good lung medicine. It can be drunk as often as desired during the course of a respiratory illness. NOTE: Licorice tea is not recommended for people prone to high blood pressure, pregnant women, or women with fibroids. |
