There really is nothing like submerging yourself on a cold winters day in a hot bath. I'm guessing you all have a bath ritual and if its anything like mine, I bet it's LUSH-IOUS!!!!!
My ritual is pretty simple really... my boyfriend calls it the 'Witches Brew' and to be honest I do kind of imagine myself brewing up some magic skin potion when I'm adding each ingredient. So now that I have your inner most Witch interested... let me share with you my ritual..
Recipe:
I dunk a 'honey bee' or two and add a sneaky 'french kiss', a 'dragons egg' which creates my 'dreamtime' experience.
I then add some 'happy hippy' a 'rockstar' (not for the faint hearted) and some good 'karma' which is always important... then a hint of 'floating island' for some extra bubbles....and submerge thy skin in this LUSH-IOUS brew.
To complete my brew I add some 'sea vegetable' & 'grass' then I finish off with some bubblegum lip sugar, some 'wiccy magic' to dispel any fatty bits and a big scoop of love from the 'charity pot'.
HONEY BEE BATH BALLISTIC
A super sweet toffee honey fizzy bath treat. Filled with all sorts of yummies like Aloe Vera, rhassoul mud which deeply cleanses and sweet delicious toffee honey. A good all round gentle bath ballistic suitable for sensitive skin.
FRENCH KISS BEAUTIFUL BATH BUBBLES
This gorgeous little bundle of fun was inspired by the french countryside hence the gorgeous lavender and colour. Packed full of sweet smelling suds of lavender, rosemary and thyme - this will bring joy to any tub it enters and you only need a little pinch so it lasts forever!!
DRAGONS EGG BATH BALLISTIC
With this egg comes a completely separate little ritual.... the hatching of the dragon..be warned as this hatching is full of popping candy, shimmering gold and layers of fiery colours and strong aroma of zesty lemon and bergamot.... lots of fun for adults and kids.
DREAMTIME LUXURY BATH MELT
This yummy solid bath oil is packed full of rich ingredients to create this luxury hydrating experience. Cocoa butter and almond oil will soften and hydrate even the driest skin types while lavender, ginger, sandalwood, chamomile and Jasmin will calm the inner you to a dreamtime state of relaxation.
HAPPY HIPPY SHOWER GEL
Describes as citrus sunshine in a bottle, this thick shower gel is everything you need to add that zing back into your day. Excellent for use in the bath or shower and packed with bergamot and grapefruit...love love love!
ROCKSTAR
This soap is my boyfriends favourite soap for unleashing his inner Rock God. It's rich, creamy, super sweet and smells like bubblegum and vanilla... yum!! The thing I love most about this soap is the smell lingers on your skin for hours.
KARMA SOAP
A lovely bit of healing for your soul - this soap offers Patchouli & pine oils for cleansing and balance plus lavandin oil for bringing that all over calm feeling. This fragrance is actually one of my Lush faves - you can buy it in perfume too....LUSH!!!
FLOATING ISLAND
On this island you will find copious amounts of vanilla, sandalwood and lemon... not to mention the abundance of cocoa butter for hydration. A super rich bath melt that's just divine.
SEA VEGETABLE SOAP
This rustic natural bar of seaweed packed soap will leave you wanting more. I just love soaps and this one has that extra something special with the added seaweed and lime essential oil. A really fresh lathering soap.
GRASS SHOWER GEL
This shower gel is super fresh smelling which is great for first thing in the morning to lift your senses. Contains neroli and wheat grass and is great for that dry and sore winter skin.
BUBBLEGUM LIP SCRUB
You can actually eat this lip scrub.... no mess involved - just rub it on and lick it off. Tastes like bubblegum and leaves your lips feeling sugary sweet and smooth.
WICCY MAGIC SOLID MASSAGE BAR
Another one of my favourite products from LUSH. Being an aromatherapist myself, this bar appeals to me for a few reasons - I love the essential oils - Cinnamon leaf & peppermint for their stimulating qualities on cellulite and hard to budge fatty deposits. The base is made from cocoa butter and Shea butter and it even comes complete with aduki beans for helping with the massage. Gorgeous product with results.
CHARITY POT HAND AND BODY LOTION
I'm loving this new product for so many more reasons than the fact it smells great and is super hydrating. For every purchase of this product, LUSH gives 100% of the price (minus taxes) to small grassroots organisations who could use a helping hand.
Some of the organisations that Charity pot are supporting are:
Men of the Trees

Plus many more...
Raw Ingredients
Did you know Lush sources all of their ingredients raw and from approved co-ops and organic farms around the world and play a big part in supporting small farms?? Lush actually help growers and farmers to take their business to the next level through the Lush slush fund... 2% of the buying spend at LUSH goes into this fund and it goes towards helping small farmers get on their feet. Lush is all about giving back to the community and improving the ingredients that we use on our skin.
Lush also supports charities through loaning their shop front windows out so charities can advertise. Lush gets behind the charity 100% with staff training and in store promotions to help support - such an awesome business.
When you walk into a LUSH store, you will not only notice the array of aroma that smacks you in the face like a giant organic candy store, you will also notice the positive and fun nature of the staff. All staff are trained in the lush products extensively and are so so so passionate you can't help buying a basket full of goodies. The company has a huge focus on staff training and you can see this is evident when you walk through the door.... their main focus is to make your day. Well done Lush!!!
100% Against Animal Testing
Lush is also very much against animal testing and animal cruelty and ensure all of their products are sourced from places that do not test on animals. They have a huge campaign running against animal testing with images that will break your heart. Did you know a lot of ingredients in Australian products that claim no animal testing are actually purchased from overseas where animal testing occurs, then is re-packaged in Australia where they (the company) claims no animal testing, however the damage is already done. Disgusting!!!
Lush has launched their range of cruelty free kisses which is a gorgeous range of lipsticks that are 100% free from testing on animals.
So many good reasons to choose your skin ritual products from LUSH. I love the whole ethics of the company. LUSH to me is Kind, aware and generous - well done and thank you so much for inviting me along to your animal testing awareness evening 'Cruelty Free Kisses'.
I rate LUSH 10/10 for everything good towards humanity and the environment.
