Bubbles!

I like to soak in the tub, preferably a clean one when my body aches or it's been a hell of a day. This isn't done in the summer, because a cold bath just won't make you calm. This is about bubbles and what used to be called bubble bath has matured into foaming bath, or bath balls, or something. If I'm gonna soak, it better have a lot of bubbles, not smell like a fruit stand and those bubbles better stay foam-ey til I'm ready to get out.
A few I've tried are the Lush Bubble Bars (~$7.00) - the concept is kinda cool, just a handmade soap ball in cute colors and shapes with a mild scent that you throw in the tub and let it dissolve into bubbles. You feel like a little kid. Bad things now: 1. Unfortunately if you don't use the whole thing, it's a mess to keep 2. Bubbles just did not hold up. Kiss my Face Foaming Bath Gel (~$10.00) - Most of their gels smell like a version of bengay. Only the early to bed has a nice calming, subtle - good - smell. Bubbles are pretty good, last way longer then the lush bars, but they don't last as long as the next one: Body Shop Foaming Bath (~$18.00) - this is probably the favorite lately. In my quest for good cheap things, this was more than I was willing to spend, but it does the trick so I had to go back. Unfortunately, most of their scents are geared towards the girly-girl in people - really strong fruit and roses kind of thing - and they have one "neutral" scent left - SHEA. Lots of bubbles, lasting until you're ready to face that world again, this time with a nice scent, relaxed, and soft skin.
