A Little More Salt Please

You all know that I can't deal with bubble bath and basically use bath salts exclusively. I found another great bath and body shop on Etsy and just love the bath salts she sells.

I've been buying all my bath salts lately from KimberQuinn on Etsy. Not only are they top quality, but the price is very nice too! There are many pleasing fragrances to choose from in her store and I favor the Pink Romance and the Amber, Vanilla Sandalwood scents. The salts themselves are all the good kinds you expect from a top quality products (like those expensive ones in Target) like Dead Sea Salts and Mineral Salts. Even though they are pretty chunky, the salts dissolve very quickly in the bath. There is coloring in these, but not enough to color your water which is just what I like.

Remember, bath salts help your body let loose some of those toxins and helps to relax your muscles. I thoroughly enjoy a good soak in a good warm bath with my bath salts. KimberQuinn's are some of the best I've come across, on Etsy or even in the retail stores. I don't know if she plans on continuing the sale, but right now , like today, you can get a 4 oz. bag for $2.95..regularly $4.95. I just bought 3 bags the other day..I think I've already used 2 lol. You know me, quality is number one and price is number 2. These salts are very good quality and I think you will agree.

Oh, if you are curious as to why I can handle bubble bath anymore, feel free to email me or comment here.

Butter My Beans

Butter Beans. Isn't that the cutest name for a bath product? I think so. Butter Beans are moisturizing bath fizzies made by Vintage Body Spa shaped like large beans.

I'm a bath person so I'm always looking for good bath products. I can't use bubble bath cause it causes me problems (don't even think about asking me!)..so I tend to go for bath salts, bath fizzies and tub truffles. Tub truffles, I like but they tend to leave me and my tub feeling greasy. I love bath bombs/fizzies but never really feel moisturized coming out of the tub (plus some have way too much coloring and it can be disturbing to have bright red water ya know!).

Enter the aforementioned Butter Beans. These are a neat combination of the tub truffle and the bath fizzie. The sodium bicarbonate gives you the fizz and the cocoa butter gives you the truffle part. No excess coloring, no oil slick in the tub, but soft skin coming out.

You need about 3-4 of these in the bath once the tub is about 1/4 - 1/3 full. The fizz out at the usual bath fizzie rate. Since they are smaller than the average bath bomb, they are supposed to fizz out sooner.

The scent I got is Vanilla Chai. It's just right..not to light and not chokingly overscented. ...you know what I mean. And, it's true to it's name. What I expect Vanilla Chai to smell like, that's what my Butter Beans smell like.

I've used these for 3 baths now and I still have half of the jar left. $14 at Vintage Body Spa, which has so much more to offer beside my lil butta beans!
