Lush is an English company that sells handmade soap, shampoo, bath products, and other delicious goodies made out of mostly natural ingredients. I was first introduced to Lush during my brief stint in England, and immediately fell in love. Let me clarify things a bit – I am not, what you might call, a card-carrying veganese tree hugger, though lusting after Lush may have you think that way. I am instead your average-every-day trying-to-do-the-right-thing American (with a thing for hyphens, apparently), and Lush certainly helps me on that path while making my baths & showers a lot more enjoyable.
Some for my favorite products include:
- Lush Prince Shaving Cream – Made for men, but wonderful for me… have you ever wondered what it would feel like to have angels kissing your legs while you shave?
- Lush Happy Hippy Hair and Body Gel (body wash to those of you not, you know, “in the know”) – Invigorating, delicious, and peppy; aka, the anti-me in the morning
- Lush Tisty Tosty bath bomb – holy hell, this thing is amazing. Drop it into a warm tub, and it fizzes away leaving some delicious rose blossoms in its wake. The bad news about Lush bath bombs is that they get you hooked on a certain scent, then yank the thing off the market (a la Chelsea Garden). The good news about Lush bath bombs is that they keep their old faithful stand-bys around (this being one of them), and lure you right back in with brand new varieties to fall in love with. Added bonus: the smell usually lingers in the bathroom for a few days – instant air freshener!
- Lush Honey I Washed the Kids Soap: Creamy, honey-smelling soap that actually feels good on your skin. I love the little honeycomb bit on top.
Mmmm, bath time!
