Look After My Heart . . . I've Left it With You

Please, please, please admit that you knew right away that the title of this Post is a line stolen from Edward Cullen.

We can still be friends if you didn't catch that.

Twilight.

Sigh.

Both in the Edward Cullen sense and the Lush sense.

Last night was so, so not awesome.

The Tiny Human had an epic freakout/meltdown that lasted late into the night,

involving the usual screaming, wailing, sobbing, crying, kicking, sprawling her angry body on the hallway floor, boycotting bedtime, 

and the list goes on.

So I went to bed stressed, and angry, and frustrated,

and woke up feeling all of those things and exhaustion.

I knew I needed the world's most calming bath ever,

so of course I turned to Twilight and Unicorn Horn.

Despite the purpley-pink color and name Twilight,

this probably wouldn't be a normal go-to for me,

because it's not at all sweet or sugary or cotton-candy scented or fruity.

The overwhelming scent in Twilight is lavender,

and almost always I am not a fan of lavender. 

Unicorn is also in the lavender family, 

but more subtly so than Twilight.

But combined,

they do make for a heavenly experience of all things zen and calm.

That is,

until your morbidly obese cat starts banging his head into the bathroom door over and over and over,

meowing at the top of his lungs to get in,

and your dog,

who was left outside in the yard by your husband,

is yelping and barking to come back in,

which is even more annoying considering that you know for a fact as soon as you let the neurotic canine back in, 

he will immediately start whimpering and yelping to go right back out . . .

Serenity now.

The bath itself was exceptional.

The outside world and factors not in any way related to the magical world of Lush were less than stellar,

and it was almost impossible to just let myself calm down and relax enough to enjoy this bath like I should have been able to.

But if you don't have an obnoxious cat,

or a whiggy dog,

or an out-of-control three year old who will inevitably destroy your temple of zen,

you should for sure try this bath combo.

The Unicorn Horn creates mountains of bubbles,

and by the way I barely used any of it for this bath,

probably just the tip of the horn.

You could easily get 4 baths, maybe more out of the Unicorn Horn.

Or you could totally be a glutinous little Lushie Piggy, 

like I am most of the time,

and use the whole damn thing and just disappear for days under an exquisite cloud of bubble fluff.

Twilight is also a huge bomb and could easily be split and enjoyed in two baths,

but I plunked the whole thing into the tub.

What I didn't expect was the beautiful turquoise core that seeped out of this bomb.

Twilight isn't as explosive or fizzy and showy as some bombs,

but the upside is that its slow and beautiful release can be enjoyed over time,

as you indulge in your bath. 

I would estimate that it took a good 15 minutes for this bomb to fully disappear into the gentle waves of my bath water. 

And except for the awful meowing and banging of the door, and the rampant barking, 

and the whiny whines from the toddler down the hall . . .

it was a blissful, dreamy 15 minutes.
