Welcoming winter

It's now midway through Autumn and a slight chill fills the air as Summer gently slips away. After I spent almost a decade living in the hot Middle Eastern desert, it's rather nice to experience the change of seasons, as much as I dislike the cold, and Winter does have it's advantages; family ski trips, heartwarming food, snuggly Ugg boots, mulled wine, and hot baths. Nevertheless, I really can't bring myself to say 'bring on Winter' with much gusto!

However, I did find myself contemplating a hot bath last night - I was discouraged by the fact that the tub needed a clean first - far too much work. But the prospect of using some of my favourite bath products might bring me around today.

Olivina Fig Bubble Bath smells absolutely, luxuriously amazing. And the bottle looks fabulous on any bathroom shelf. $49.95 from Saison.

Philosophy shower gel and bubble bath smells delicious and is my daughter's favourite - the indulgent, long lasting fragrance fills the bathroom with delectable strawberry fragrance. $38.00 from Mecca Cosmetica. 

Shu Uemera Pleasure of Japanese Bath. From the bathing capital of the world, this divine smelling bath oil will turn the water white, so don't be alarmed! The oils won't make your skin greasy and the lovely fragrance clings to the skin all day. Sakura, or Cherry Blossom is my favourite fragrance and after hunting them down high and low buy over the internet I finally found them for sale at David Jones, Bondi for about $40.00.

Cowshed - Horny Cow Seductive Bath & Shower Gel. Yes, you read it correctly, this saucy bath and shower gel has a floral, spicy blend that will get you in the mood. Or, if you just want something that smells fabulous and is especially warming during those wintry months, then try this. The combination of patchouli, cinnamon and rose absolute is like a big warm hug and a hot cup of cocoa.

Do you have a favourite bubble bath or shower gel?
