Makes me wonder if LUSH wouldn't consider a line for pets. Do they have anything in the works for babies? One of the promotions/parties they did here last summer during the "we still don't test on animals" publicity blitz was washing dogs at the store with Lush products, so I would guess most of the washing products can do double duty for humans and animals. And now that you mention it, they did have a short-lived baby shampoo. It's still lurking on the website, but it doesn't appear to be for sale and isn't linked from the bottled shampoos section. They only had it for a year, year and a half? I guess it wasn't very popular. The link says it was for their previous company, but they brought it back briefly a couple of years ago as well. They also used to have a bright yellow bubble bar that they marketed more towards kids (because kids love yellow baths?), but I don't think they have it anymore. I think it was discontinued a couple of years ago.

That's interesting that the baby shampoo doesn't have SLS in it, considering how they defend it in their FAQ. They used to list it, in the ingredient list, as the coconut derived form, that they make fun of now. ;D
I want some Snowcake!

I also combined a chunk of AoBS with a same-size chunk of Aqua Marina - try it! Clean, exfoliated, soft skin. Oooh, another combo! I have a combo I'm getting ready to try this morning. There's a long story behind it, but here goes ( and I don't remember if I told you guys about what I finally tried!): I bought some Ultrabland strictly to use as an eyemakeup remover, although you can use it on your whole face. I just figured it would freak my skin out if I did that. I had been using Angels both morning and night with good results. So one night, I just decided - spur of the moment - to do my whole face with Ultrabland, just to see what would happen. Guys, you have not used ANYTHING like when you clean your whole face with Ultrabland! Even my sensitive skin had no problem with it. And it got crap out of my skin that was probably in there from 1977! So that's part one of the story - I've been doing Ultrabland at night and cutting back on Angels for just my morning wash. Well, this posed a new problem - Angels isn't really exfoliating for me as well now that I'm only using it *once* a day instead of twice. And I was kinda bummed, but I had a full container, and it just wasn't doing it for me on it's own, or cutting back the number of times I used it. I also had half a container or Ocean Salt - great exfoliator, but I was nervous about using it daily since it's so strong, and really for oiler skins - my skin's getting drier as I inch my way towards menopause. And I know they say you should only exfoliate a couple of times a day, but I cheat and do a light exfoliation every morning, because my skin roughs up fast. Then the wonderful Daniel ( my manager at Lush!) came up with an idea - since Ocean Salt exfoliates a little roughly, and Angels is exfoliating too gently - why not combine the two? So I did, last night! It was perfect - half a container of the large Ocean Salt, a full container of Angels, and both of them together in a mixing bowl. I mixed them both really well, and then back into the Ocean Salt tub. I'll let you know how they work! AND - you're not going to believe this! I went over to the Lush forums and saw that Mark Constantine had posted again. He's in the process of writing Lush's annual report, and he wanted our comments, ideas, thoughts, etc. So we had been asking him when we could read it, if it would be downloadable, etc. So he posted again and said it would be ready in about a month - THEN he said, "Lisa, I'm opening the report with a quote from you". My screenname over there is LisaNewYork, and I don't know of any other Lisa on that thread, so I just posted back, "BIG, do you mean 'Lisa' me? Or another Lisa?" Because if it's me, HOLY CRAP!!! ( *Fangirl dork!*) Even if it's not me, it's still very cool that he's opening the report with a quote from a Lushie, regardless of who they are! But I'll let you know what he says!

I have just tried Brookie's suggestion for mixing Aquamarina and AOBS together and yep, just like she said--soft, clean, skin. I have also just tried India's suggestion to use Jungle as a shaving cream (following using You Snap the Whip) and the result? A smooth, silky shave.
I feel pretty.

I just tried the Champagne Supernova bath bomb last night. I thought it smelled pretty good (then again I like hints of lime).
Afterward, I ran into a bit of a problem today. There is a lot of confetti in that bomb, and actually peed out a few pieces this morning.
Yes, folks, I peed out party decorations.
I know, I know...this was probably more for the TMI thread.
ETA: Hey India!!! I read your post on the LUSH forum to Big! AWESOME!!! Ya done good!

Oh, honey... you peed confetti? Gotta sock that sucker next time! ;D And thanks for the props for what I said in BIG's thread - I hope I didn't come off too ass-kissy. I mean, first of all, he is who he is. Second, it's Lush, and I just love the company and the products, and third, I felt really bad that so many of the posters were being so rude to him.

Get a sock or nylon next time, check! I noticed the posts getting kinda mean to Big. I never understood why people have to resort to that level of asshattery. No, you were fine. Your post was polite and well written. A lot of what you said was to the point and actually gave great suggestions on how to improve LUSH on a whole, rather than for completely selfish purposes. That's why your post stood out! I thought you were adorable when you squeeeeed in your post after he said he was using part of your post as an opening quote.
