So I am addicted to Lush, BPAL, Moonalisa etc. Lush bath bombs are pretty pricey even in a Lush store. When I go to New Orleans I hit the Lush on Decatur and spend well over 100.00 bucks every time. I also get some Lush on ebay, but the shipping is a killer since the products tend to be heavy. I also found a seller on ebay that makes homemade bath bombs and sells them at a nice price. I have bought 23 from her so far....got the second box of them today. Xmas gifts mainly.
Here's her website. http://www.ibeautygifts.com/
No, I do not know her! She just makes hellish bath bombs for $1.35 each and they are big too! Smell great and since she uses oils and butters in them my skin is really soft and moisturized. I have 4 of her soaps too and have purchased a second bar of the African Violet soap.
So...I have decided to make them myself. Scented with all the bpals that I have. Since I use a bath bomb for every bath I figure it's a good way to use my bpals since I will NEVER use them all in my lifetime.
So I've been watching youtube videos on how to make them. I have no desire to sell them. I could never anyway because my dawgs shed (plus the 4 cats) so much I couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't have a hair or two in them. I wouldn't even be able to give them away for fear of that. LOL Sad isn't it. Maybe if I was immaculate, but I'm not and refuse to be. My mom was and I think it made her crazy. ROFLMAO!!!
Today arrived the raw cocoa (cacao) butter, kaolin clay and I bought a 13 lb bag of baking soda from Sam's Club. Now I just need to wait for the citric acid, clear fillable xmas balls, and witch hazel to arrive. I think I will also be purchasing shea butter, other butters, and some oils like grapeseed and sweet almond. I'm so excited! What excites me the most is I can make them with my fave bpal fragrance and make them as heavily scented as I want!
I'm gonna be the best smelling bitch on the block!!
I'll keep you all advised on how I do.....If I had the citric acid I could make some today but alas....
The cocoa butters are in the shape of little rounds the size of a quarter and smell really good. So I took one out and it melts in my palm. So cool. My Ava dawg has really dry pads on her feet and she tends to slip on the vinyl floor so I rubbed some into the pads of her feet. Freaking dawg loved it. She even lifted up her last back foot so I could get to it. ROFL I think it's going to absorb better than people lotion does and also I am not afraid if she licks this stuff either. So WIN WIN!
I wore The Little matchGirl to work yesterday. Bpal. LOVE IT. It kept getting better and better as the day went on. Super feminine smelling.
I'm in the mood to brine a chicken. Haven't really done that yet but for some reason it's been brought to my attention several times in the last couple months so I think it's like a hint from God or sumpin. Either my brother brings it up or Guy Fieri makes one on his show, or it's on another Food Network cooking show......it's just being pushed at me....so I figure I'm gonna do it. I mean, who am I to not heed a God hint, right?
Since I haven't done a blind bpal oil lately, let's do one.
Queen
Knew Bpal had several oils with Queen in the name...Pumpkin Queen, Queen Alice, The Red Queen, Queen of Sheba etc etc...didn't know they had one named just QUEEN. (Wasn't that a hellish rock group tho??!!)
Light yellow in color.
In the vial it seems citrusy but wet on the skin it isn't. Do I detect vetiver....just a slight hint? It seems kind of creamy, sunflower seed smell, floral, yeah, there's a citrus here too it seems. Seems royal too. I don't know if it's just the name influencing that thought or not....but it does seem rather regal....like a Queen would wear this. I can't really pinpoint any specific ingredient in this. It's complex and hard to define.
What's in this?
For use only by women. An extremely potent passion blend, used to great effect when you're converting feminine sexual energy into power.
Bah! No scent description. Go here to read the reviews:

Some got that regal royal feeling too! Now I feel smug. Snort. Like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory.
After all that tech talk let's get to the real discussion. QUEEN!!!
