Splish Splash with Lavender Soap

Nothing says relaxing than a nice hot bath with lavender.  I like lavender essential oils in mine when I find the time to take an actual bath; mostly it's just shower time for this girl. I like Lavender so much that I have several dried bunches in vases around my house.  In keeping with the ESN theme of Splish Splash I was taking a bath, I found a terrific item at  CarolinaBlueLady.  A beautiful Lavender Floral Gift Set that contains a lovely bar of soap and a bottle of toilet water.  What better way to pamper yourself, or to give as a gift for the discerning woman.  Visit her store for more soaps, colognes and tons of other neat stuff.  And take a stroll through all the other great merchants at Ecrater Stores Network .

Splish Splash for Hygiene, Fun and Making Friends

Yes, an odd title but ESN's  theme this week is "Splish Splash I was Taking a Bath",  (a song made famous by Bobby Darin back in 1958, but sung by others as well through the years).  I got to thinking of all the places I'd bathed in, like rivers and creeks high in the Rocky Mountains, plush and not so plush hotels all around Europe.  This was our shower in Rouffange (pop. roughly 93), France during my fountain rebuilding days (talk about hard work!)  Twelve of us shared this, talk about French ingenuity though, it worked great!

 

Then there's the "hammams" in Morocco.  Public bath houses where women went on certain days and men went on certain days.  This was quite the experience and me, being a sort of novelty, one of the ladies treated me to a scrub, that I can only describe as more painful than childbirth, well, almost.  But I sure had smooth skin!  You can imagine in bathing conditions such as these there are no vanities with toiletries we have come to count on here. Le Petit Marche has this lovely Four Piece Ceramic Bathroom Vanity Set for offer that will fit in a wide array of bathroom decors,  so stop on by and have a look.  Splish, splash!
