5 Steps to Smooth Legs

We all cherish that wonderful feeling of fresh shaved legs, but with exfoliation it can be smoother, softer, and last longer.



Here are my 5 steps to perfect, goddess-like, silky legs.

Step 1. 
The night before you shave lather on an excessive amount of moisturizing lotion. Don't choose something strong scented- the scents dry your skin out. I would recommend Avon Skin So Soft or a Vaseline Lotion or some type. Alternatively you can try shea butter or coconut oil. Let it soak in and go to bed. 

Step 2. 
Make a olive oil and sugar scrub. For a delicious-smelling one I love to make, check out this post:

Step 3. 
In the shower, shave once.

Step 4. 
Use the sugar scrub and then shave again. This will scrub off all of the dead skin. Rinse your legs well but don't use soap, you want to lead the olive oil really absorb.

Step 5. Use the sugar scrub at least once a week, between or during shaves.

Enjoy your soft legs, and show them off!!
Warning: may invite unwelcome petting by girl friends:)

Bonus tip: sugar scrubs are great on your face too! I use mine a few times a week.

Bubble Bar - The Comforter

This LUSH Bubble Bar smells soooo good:)
It's relaxing and puts me in a really good mood. The bath is also very colorful- even a little bit of it will make the water a magenta-purple color. I'm not used to bubble baths being colored so that was a little off-putting at first but it IS pretty cool looking. Check it out: 


The amount of bubbles you see are from less than 1/6 of the bar so it's a good deal for the price. I've also done it with 1/3 of the bar which makes a lot of bubbles. The suggested amount is half the bar but I'd say 15-30 % is plenty! 

Overall I'm pleased with this bar, especially with the scent. However, I do love the bath bombs more, even if they are more expensive per bath. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think:)

Dragon Egg Bath Bomb



LUSH's 
Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb  

Check out how pretty this is: it fizzes, it smells good, and OOOO SPARKLES!

Oh my gosh if i could only explain to you how much i LOVE this bath bomb! It smells delicious, all citrus-y and delicious. When you drop it in the tub it starts to fizz and the scent shows up pretty quickly. Next beautiful gold glitter begins to spread out from the bath bomb. The glitter is more like a soft shimmer and not chunky sparkles- it's gorgeous. My only complaint would be that it has these pieces of confetti in it and they're pretty and all but they dissolve too quick to really enjoy them. Other than that I love everything about this product. Do you want to bathe in sweet-scented liquid gold? Then you need this:)
