You're actually supposed to turn AoBS and Aqua Marina into a usable paste before you attack your poor face with it. Didn't anyone at the shop show you how to use it? Include enough water with both to make a soft paste, then rub on your skin. Yes, they did show me but I seem to have not perfected the technique yet. I'm working on it.

I'm making sure all our customers know how to use it - I've sold quite a bit of the AoBS lately. It's intimidating if you can't figure it out. I sold a woman on the AoBS/Aqua Marina combo today. Showed her how to use both at once - she loved it.

She gave me a tutorial in the store but I'm never sure if I'm pinching off too much or not enough. I have performance anxiety about AoBS!

Yay! I hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
My store almost never gives out samples (to me, at least), and I've been going there for three and a half years! Most of the SAs recognize me, and I think the manager even knows my name. But no samples! I did ask once for a sample of Enzymion, but that's it. But then, I've tried basically everything I'm interested in, so...

...and Daniel, the manager, came up with a new Bath Cocktail, that actually smelled pretty good, that I bought one myself. Oooh, which cocktail did he show you? He comes up with great ones! I'm not sure if you've met Kim yet, she's a doll, but she and I brainstormed one morning while it was quiet, and came up with a list of cocktails. And when Shark Week rolled around on The Discovery Channel, I came up with a Shark Week cocktail that went over fairly well with the guys because it wasn't quite as "girly". I named it "Jaws" of course! Each part has an explanation relating to Shark Week: 1. Big Blue bath bomb - because, blue water, seaweed, etc. 2. Blue Skies bubble bar - because the blue skies are the last thing you'll see before the shark eats you! 3. Dreamtime bath melt - because you'll be in dreamtime *permanently* when the shark is done with you! ;D

I tried some more of my new purchases. Last night, HGTV and I gave each other massages with the Wiccy Muscle massage bar. I liked it a lot. She gave the scent a 5 out of 10, but then said she liked it less and less as it stayed on us. I had the opposite reaction. 5 out of 10 was probably accurate for me, too, at first but then it grew on me. Anyway, we both love the viscosity of the oil and having it in bar form. Are all the bars pretty much the same (viscosity-wise)? Wiccy was perfect. Which bar is everyone's fave? Mange Too sounds delish but HGTV is allergic to bananas so we'll probably be skipping that one. I'll probably go for Each Peach next... I also washed my face with Ocean Salt this morning. I love the smell and texture while washing. My face does feel soft but not as AMAZING as I was hoping (for the price and based on all the reviews). It's only the first day, though, so I'll keep using it in the mornings and see how it goes. I will not become obsessed with LUSH, I will not become obsessed with LUSH... ALSO: I love how moisturizing Avowash soap is but I am on the fence about the scent. Which other soaps are just as moisturizing (if any)? Thanks.

Daniel was saying that he was feeling sore from all the Spinning classes, that he came up with a new cocktail to relieve some of the soreness. Damn, it was AWESOME!!!!!!!! I was so relaxed, that was well into the "ZZZ" before I knew it. Waving, Not Drowning Bath Bomb Marathon Bubble Bar Elixir Bath Melt And he gave me a freebie of Wiccy Magic that I used on my shoulders after. Perfect!

Long time lurker, first time poster... Lush addict! The AoBS has been a miracle worker for me. I use it every morning in the shower, which I think makes it easier to grind into a paste, wash and rinse. I have a very small (think one inch by one inch) rubbermaid-type thing that I put about 3 days worth into and leave in the shower. I find that keeps it kind of moist and easy to spread, but I don't put so much in that I have to worry about it getting ishy-moldy. And I'm with India - Ultrabland is a wonderful thing! I mix it with a little Ocean Salt once a week for a good scrub without any irritation. Love it. Ahhh... feels good to post after all this time being the lonely lurker!

Ooh, Ocean Salt and Ultrabland?? Interesting! Probably great for a hand or foot massage too.
