People around the world have been hopping into the tub for centuries…and for good reasons! A soak in the tub can boost your mind, help you wind down after a long day or soothe sore muscles. According to the experts, the optimal bath lasts for 10-20 minutes with a temperature of about 89F-95F (32C-35C). This temp encourages sweating to help release toxins. And while bathing is a great way to soak up a few precious minutes of solitude, it can do so much more. I take baths EVERYDAY! Sometimes it’s the only time I get solely to myself. I'm not someone who can sit in the bath and do nothing, I like to distract my mind with a good tv show or movie in there. I think sometimes people forget that's an option, sitting in the tub with Netflix on is a genius idea of mine that has helped me beyond belief. Sometimes my time there is only 20 minutes other times I can sit in there for an hour but either way it's time where i'm not checking my phone, no one is talking to me and I don't feel like I need to be doing anything like cleaning or planning or working!. I'm not saying you all need to take one everyday, but if it's not in your self-care plan at all, I highly encourage you to add it. I used to have a massive tub a few years ago, it was so luxurious with all my bubbles and bath salts, so when we moved to my new apartment with a rather small less impressive tub I thought “ no this is going to kill my bathing vibes” ...I was wrong. Whatever type of tub you have, it works! No excuses.

So to help you get started and more prepared for your perfect ‘Fall Bath’ I have listed my top faves from Lush this season! And if you are wondering “Why Lush?” My answer is simple: “Once you've tried Lush, there isn't anything else”
Lush products are so good for the skin, they are 100% vegetarian, no animal testing, no useless or harmful packaging, ethical buying sources and all handmade. The quality of the products verses thousands is significantly higher and you can feel and smell it so clearly. I love bath bombs and salts and bubble bath, I do use and support many other brands. However, Lush is by far the winner. After any of their products my skin feels clean and soft and the scent is not only deep and well curated, it lingers on my skin for the rest of the day. It doesn't leave me feeling clogged with chemicals, it doesn't dry out my skin or cause any residue on my arms and legs, it just works. I Will give you all the info you need, how it feels and smells so you can enjoy baths just as much as I do :)
