Trader Joe's comes out with the most interesting products, though it feels like it's mostly in the summer or the Holiday season.
This spring they came out with Mood Odyssey Aromatherapy set.
I was drawn to the pretty purple box as well as the types of scents that it contained.
The set comes with 4 oils. Each 0.33 FL OZ but it feels like there's way more than that, like this set could last a whole year even if you used it every day.
With 4 different scents, they've pretty much got you covered.
Unfortunately there isn't a list of scent notes to refer to, but there is an ingredients list on the back. And yes, they have their scientific name as well as their normal name (Thanks Trader Joe's! Always looking out).
I've so far used Awake, Bliss and Relax.
I've used several different types of lavender oils but there's something happy about this kind. I don't know how to explain it but I love using these for pretty much everything.
Awake has a scent like nothing I've used before. While there is your typical citrus based scents, there's also something else that really gives it a kick!
Bliss is such a happy scent, I don't really know how else to describe it. It def puts me in a better mood, I wish these came in like room sprays or something because that would def help my anxious ass out.
Relax has notes of lavender in it for sure. And while it's still lavender it's also not. The lavender in this smells like a field of flowers that you're just running in! It's not that core strong lavender scent that most other products have (nothing wrong with that, just saying this one is a little more softer) but it still packs a serious relax yo ass punch!
These rollerballs are great and like I said -- I use them pretty frequently. I'm hoping that TJ's might come out with more blends in the future!
Normally I'd be SUPER excited for Spring and Valentine's Day; the splashes of pinks and reds everywhere, the fresh Spring air smell (that you get to enjoy in the 3 second gap between getting out of your car and putting on your mask), the feeling of waking up almost.
Except here in Texas, which I've dubbed hell.
Cause it's frozen over.
As I write this it's 7* outside. It's been in the single digits all day. And there's so much snow on my balcony I can literally build a snowman. We were on a severe winter weather warning from Feb 12th to the 15th. But now they're extending it until Thursday. That's damn near the whole week.
AND I LIVE IN TEXAS.
So there's no joy or refresh feelings here just yet. And it kinda sorta sucks.
Still, I wasn't going to not do anything I could to add a splash of pinks and reds (as if I don't already have enough)!
Did a small Bath & Body Works haul last month (did you know PayPal started a payment plan program? Lort. My bank account); I finally managed to snag a Valentine's Day candle that doesn't smell like roses. I want to say I've had the Bee Positive hand soap scent once and didn't like it enough. And the Be You scent is so soft. So soft it's almost like it isn't even there.
I'm big on self care. It's something that's super important to me and something I try to make time for. Any way that I can get myself to relax and do something I enjoy through out the day even if for just 5 minutes helps me stay stable.
There are a few products I try to make sure to use daily or weekly and they're things I look forward to using!
Self care is a nonstop activity that I feel like should be pretty high on a priority list, though I know for most people they either don't know where to start or don't know how to make time for it.
I always heard stories about first time moms who never get time to themselves and can't even find time to shower and told myself I wasn't going to be like that. Yes I watch my child all day long but luckily I have a husband who watches her on the back end of the day so I can have a few hours to myself. I get not everyone is that lucky and I get even if you don't have a kid life can totally get in the way.
Over the years I've tried incorporating little things into my day here and there and finding what works for me; and my habits seemed to have changed almost seasonally, but here are some things I try to stick to!
LUSH Mermaid Tail Bubble Bar
Mermaid Tail from LUSH was one of the many bubble bars "Tums" got me for Mother's Day. I LOVED this bubble bar! The only thing is that the tail takes up a lot of space and so if you're trying to cut this one in half it's a little challenging. I didn't bother so I ended up just using the whole bar which I'm pretty sad about cause it was so pretty (I somehow forgot to snap a pic of my bath art)!
LUSH describes this bubble bar as;
The human world is a mess. Get away from it all with our undersea wonder, Mermaid Tail. This two-in-one bathing buddy combines a softening, silky bath oil with one of our classic bubble bars. Choose your own adventure: you can snap off the top for a dreamy, creamy bath to soothe dry skin and tired limbs; you can crumble the base beneath running water for sky-high bubbles; or you can combine them together for buttery, bubbly bliss. Meanwhile, the sweet citrusy scents of lemon myrtle and grapefruit oils will boost your mood, while a dose of heady ylang ylang keeps you grounded. No matter what you choose, wouldn't you say your collection's complete?
There wasn't really any problems with me and the glitter this product had... and I recently discovered I hate glitter in my bath products!
I'm a sucker for citrus scents, always! So this one was one that I also really liked scent-wise. I always find citrus scents to be so calming and I recently found out that it's perfect for anxiety aromatherapy! I just wish the scent was a little bit stronger with the bubble bars.
Other than that, I am finding LUSH's new products ARE becoming more moisturizing and I'm living for this considering I forget to put on lotion ALL THE TIME. Don't ask, I don't know why.
Hoping this bubble bar sticks around for a bit longer so I can grab another one!
Have you tried LUSH Mermaid Tail? If not, what's your favorite LUSH bubble bar?
