Roaming around online, we just found out that our favorite bath splurge, Votivo Bath Salts (available online at Sensia) have been discontinued by the manufacturer. Maybe that explains why we found them almost 1/2 price at Art Effect on Armitage a few weeks ago.
At $17 for 10.5 ounces, this stuff won't stretch as far as your giant bag of Epsom salt.
But for the aromatic sensory splurge, the Votivo line is among our favorites.
Currently, we love Red Currant, and the names of all the others sound just as delicious. Judging from what's sold out online, looks like the faves are Clean Crisp White, Rain, and Deep Clover.
Wonder what a "Teak" bath would be like?
In Birmingham there is a suburb (I guess you'd say suburb) called Homewood. Homewood is what people in the next "suburb" (Mountain Brook) over call "new money" (given I don't have any period, it makes no difference to me). They have named the newly built town square thing SoHo - meaning So Homewood. Awful. There's a store there called At Home and it used to be my favorite store until I found they would up their price a suffocatingly large amount - where you'd buy a $2 item purchased in India for close to $30. You know, selling distressed furniture as antiques (I don't know if they expressly told people they were from a certain time period but the kind of people shopping there don't ask - it looks nice right? it's okay to spend $500 on something that cost $100..pfft). They had votivo and I was the one opening all the candles and that can give such a migraine. People went through the Red Currant like CRAZY. It stinks that they're sold out because I never knew they had them!
the bath salts, i mean
