So happy for you Julia.  I figured you had not been around much because you were busy with your business.  I can't wait to see the web-site!

I was actually in a mall in Atlanta about a month ago and they had a store with bath bombs LL!  First time I had ever seen one in person...they were absolutely lovely and I really wanted to buy some but refrained.  I figured I would wait and get them from Julia when she gets her site up and running...I like to shop local! Lol.

I almost didn't refrain...but I did.  I think the fact that I had just spent close to $100 on my two little nieces for their birthday while I was there helped!

The only reason I refrain is that my tub is too small to be comfortable (or my sit-upon is too generously proportioned to fit the tub - naaah, I think it's the tub's fault, lol!).  So I only take showers.  Yummy smelling soaps, though, are a whole 'nother story.

I'm a minimalist in everything else - would be totally happy living in one room with just a bed, table, chair and shelves - but my fondest wish is a wide, deep tub.  Bliss!

I want one of those too.  I only have a regular size tub as well.  I love good smelling shower things.  My fav at the moment is the Olay Stripe brand of bath wash.  It leaves a little glimmer of shine on your skin too.  I don't splurge on many expensive things like soaps or shampoos.  I have one "what I call" splurge and that is on my foundation.  Once I discovered bare minerals, I've never turned back.  I'll use cheaper blush, eye liner, etc...but I love my bare minerals.

I live in one room! I tried a hide a bed for 8 months to try to make it not look like one room!  ;D However, my original hide a bed was a love seat and a twin. Great for daytime and night time...but when I was tired and wanted to lay down for a short nap...no go. I could only get half of me on there and cutting my legs off didn't seem to be an option

So, I got a full sized hide a bed...lovely daytime, night time and nap time. The problem? Too heavy for me to open and close and it started to hurt my back.

Solution...I put a twin bed in here that looks like a bed, sleeps like a bed and is not to sit upon. I am now trying to rationalize that I live in a one room cabin in the woods without a loft, so of course I have a bed in here.

WWU has built my confidence and helped me move on...and if I hit a brick wall I know where to come for support.     I am excited about the business live in a remote area  so I hope it will keep me flat chat...I love gorgeous smelly things...I will keep in touch...

The secret is pillows.  During college, I had a studio apartment.  I had a twin bed across from the TV that I put two large bolster pillows on the side of and a few big pillows on the back of.  I got sheets, a comforter, and a straight sided bed skirt to match the color, and it looked a bit like a sofa during the day and was still a bed a night.

Oh, that's perfect, Clover. I think I will put a sign on my door that says, "Shhhhhh...! Student sleeping!"

(And then I will get one of Julia's bath bombs...and get bombed.  ;D ;D ;D)
