Bath Shower Home Design

Whether you use it in the bath or in the shower, most of us wash using shower gel or bubble bath every day. Particularly in the winter months, nothing could be nicer than settling back in a tub overflowing with soothing soapy suds . But when the average bottle of shower gel costs less than £2, it begs the question: what are you really putting onto your skin? Effervescent bath products have been around for an extremely long time , with the first fizzing bath salts appearing in the early 20th Century . Early bubble bath was made using soap flakes but by the mid-1930s, surfactants had arrived. Surfactants are a chemical compound, mostly made from synthetic materials (although some are derived from palm or coconut oils), which are usually found in industrial detergents, washing power and latterly, bath products. One commonly held misconception about bath and shower gel is that it is little more than a runny type of soap. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Not only are cheap sho...

I love building gift hampers and had lots of fun putting together this Baby’s Bath Time Hamper for my friend’s baby shower last month. If you’re looking for Baby Shower Gift Ideas then look no further! The pitter-patter of tiny feet It would seem that Jon and I have finally reached that age – the one where everyone is either getting married or having babies and to be honest we hadn’t really noticed it had happened until just a few weeks ago. It seems adulthood just kind of crept up on us . Take the weekend just gone – I found myself at a baby shower while Jon was painting the town red at a friend’s stag do. These are our weekends now when we’re not engrossed in buying our first house. Out of our school friends we are now the only unmarried couple. The first to get married now have not one, not two, but THREE children and our best friends are eagerly awaiting their first . How did it happen that we were all old enough to settle down and start having kids?! There are no wedding be...

Cue the Enya, it’s time to relax. This year, because we did the whole “let’s have a baby” gig in early May, I decided to save my sanity and combine the girls’ birthday parties . Smartest move ever. Back in November (yes, really), I conspired with the girls, helped them choose a theme and took advantage of the TomKat Studio’s Cyber Monday sale and bought the party printables . Ever since, I’ve been collecting things here and there for the party. In the weeks preceding Gianna ’s birth, my nesting kicked into high gear and I was able to accomplish about 75% of the party planning . Here’s how we enjoyed a spa party for 13 sweet, sweet little girls. Bubble bath on, y’all. Did someone say mani/pedi? When planning this spa-themed party for the girls, I spent some serious time on Pinterest looking for activities suitable and fun for both 7- and 9-year-old girls. After consulting with the girls, I think we found some winners. When the guests arrived , they enjoyed one of four stations, then we...
