I just opened the mail (the first time I've done it this week, no less), and in it I found a strangely-shaped, duct-taped package for me. I recognized the sender as [livejournal.com profile] livemockingbird, and I was giddily curious. It took me a little bit to work the scissors through the tape (duct tape is HARD!), but I finally got it. I then noticed that the strange shape was due to the 'package' actually consisting of a rolled-up brown bag. I reached inside, and I pulled out this:


"Pop in the Bath" Bubble Bar Slice

Uplifting citrus bubble bath brighten outlooks
Do you ever reminisce about summers past when you got lost in fields of flowers and had a good time? Well, then try a Pop in the Bath bubble bar. Let its soothing bergamot and invigorating citrus oils lift you out of the doldrums. We make four different-colored bouquets of bubbles, each as lovely as the next, so you never know which one you're going to get.


Mine is white, topped with a green flower with orange center. I can barely smell, but even I can smell how yummy this is! OMG, I'm so excited to try it! Soooo many of my friends rave about LUSH bath products all the time (if I recall correctly, [livejournal.com profile] mama_bec's little girl Haley even made it into their catalog), but I've never experienced anything from them myself! It will be SUCH a treat!

I noticed then that the rolled-up brown bag was actually a LUSH bag. Ha, I'm such a newbie. A seasoned LUSH fanatic would've spotted that right away, I'm sure. ;-) Oh, and there was a note enclosed with the bubble bar:

For a wonderful, thoughtful, caring, loving, lovable, very-rarely-puts-herself-first kind of friend -- I can only hope this brings you at least one relaxing, think-only-about-Nicole-for-a-while-bath!

Love, Meri


Thank you SO much, girl! You just have no idea how much this means to me, and your thoughtful gift couldn't have come at a better time. I'm so geeked to take a bath now. Thank you!

Mmmmm, I'm so excited to use it!

YAY! Just give yourself a lot of time for the bath. LUSH bubbles last for ages, and you want to really enjoy a nice, long soak.

Oh, I will. That, and I want to wait until I have full use of my olfactory senses again, too. ;-)

I've heard good things about LUSH, but I've never used any of their stuff...be sure to let us know what you think of it!

I'll be sure to write up a proper review. ;-)

You are the second person on my friends list to receive a gift from livemockingbird today! Weird!

Enjoy your bath-- hope you are feeling better!

She mentioned being very gifty a few days ago in her own journal... I just didn't know I would be one of the lucky recipients!

Yay! We don't have a bathtub suitable for adult baths.. so you get to enjoy the Lush love!

Take pictures of the bubbles if you haven't already take your bath!

P.S. Sorry about the crazy packaging, I couldn't find a box that small... and, well we're into reducing, reusing, and recycling around here!

But now I can boast that I received original LUSH packaging, even. ;-)

This sounds like I bought it and couldn't use it.. but we actually bought it specifically for you--Arden picked it out "for that lady who sent me all my books!" I couldn't convince her to buy the purple one that smells all minty. She really wanted to the orange flower one!

Heh, no worries. I didn't read it that way. But it's so cute to know that Arden is actually the one who picked it out for me. She must know that we're a family that loves orange around here. ;-)

Thank you again so much! I'll try to remember the cam, just for you. :-)

You can probably break it in half and get _two_ baths with mountains of bubbles.

Lusty, who just spent nearly $200 at Lush a couple of weeks ago

Sadly, there is no Lush store here in Nebraska. On the other hand, that's probably better for our budget. ;-)

I've been to Lush online and seriously contemplated purchases. However, I'm quite sensitive to bath additives and was afraid.

Do they have a sensitive line, just in case?

I second that. I almost always break my LUSH bubble bars in half. Even using only half a bar, I get at least twice the bubbles. It's so wonderfully decadant!

I was thinking it was you who had the LUSH icon. ;-)

at least 3, to be more precise!

I love all you LUSHious fanatics giving me tips. :-)

(if I recall correctly, mama_bec's little girl Haley even made it into their catalog)

TWICE, even!! :)

i <3 LUSH. they are Teh Awesome. that bubble bar has the same scent as "the olive branch" shower gel, and is the scent in the orange half of "the happy pill" bath ballistic.

next time you're in the chicago area, you let me know and we'll visit a LUSH store. they have 4 or 5 now, and nothing compares to walking into the massive wall of scent... mmmmmmmm, yummy!

Ah, twice! At least you know I do read and recall, if not perfectly. ;-)

I'm gonna hold you to that - LUSH shopping!

I'm ready for my sense of smell to come back so I can fully enjoy it!

I had dinner with [livejournal.com profile] livemockingbird once, I think.

Maybe I need to confirm that.

But I'm pretty sure I did.

It was the day I ran that marathon last summer.

I didn't know you two know each other.

Yeah, Meri and I have been friends since her daughter Arden was born, I think, so... almost 4.5 years??
