Valentine's Day Goodies (Way Belated.)

Long time no see! About 2 months in fact! My consistency hasn't been a strong point on this poor little blog so far, I must apologize. I am less than organized in general, but I do have a pretty good excuse this time! Adam and I have been on the house hunt for a little while now, and our search has intensified over the past few months - leading us to the purchase of our first home on March 10th! We couldn't be more excited, and I can't wait to share some snaps of our cute little home once we're settled in. Though this will remain a busy time (moving is the worst), I've taken photos for a few posts in advance so that I can blog a little bit here and there on breaks from packing. Hopefully once we're all moved and settled in I can figure out a more consistent rhythm and keep it going.

Anyway, enough about that!

Valentine's Day has long since passed, but I have been loving these pretty pink body treats so much that I just must mention them! I love Valentine's Day in general - who could hate a day that celebrates love, chocolate, and things that are heart shaped? Stick-in-the-muds, that's who! (I have a huge rant about V-day "haters" - but that's for another time..)

Lush always nails seasonal/holiday offerings on the head. Any time I'm in a mall I can't help but pop in to sniff all the things, but especially to check out what cute new thing they've brought in for whatever holiday is nearest. They are such a fun, celebratory company and I really get excited to see what they'll come up with next!

These two Valentine-y concoctions came home with me - 'Prince Charming' Shower Gel and 'Close to You' Massage Bar. Besides being a lovely shade of springy tulip pink, these products really are a treat to use!

I'm forever a fan of Lush soaps and shower gels, I just don't think there's anything better, and 'Prince Charming' is no exception. This smells like a grapefruit creamsicle - not too citrus-y, more on the sweet dessert side. This is one of the creamier formulations of shower gel that I've seen Lush offer, and it lathers up into the most lovely frothy fragrant bubbles that leave my skin feeling clean and soft.

'Close to You' is a solid bar made of silky butters and oils which melts on contact with your skin. I like these for the (not often enough) event that Adam is feeling nice enough to give me a back massage, however I get the most use out of them as solid moisturizers. I love using these right after a hot shower or bath when my skin is still warm. They melt beautifully and go a long way! The smell of this one in particular is especially indulgent - super sweet and sugary! If you love their 'Rock Star' soap, this has the same fragrance and it smells good enough to eat. (Maybe don't try it, though. I take no responsibility for you putting lotion in your mouth.)

You can still purchase 'Close to You' here. I couldn't find 'Prince Charming' online, but some stores may still have some left!

The combination of the two is truly a treat if you're a fan of sweet candy smells! 'Prince Charming', I'll gladly get 'Close to You' any day. ;)
