It's Wednesday, which means it's time to zero in on another bubble bath:)
This week's featured bubble bath is Satsuma Shower Gel by The Body Shop.
This is my favorite fragrance from The Body Shop, and a staple in my bathroom. The Body Shop is a great place to discover bubble bath, expect to see them mentioned here often.

Welcome to another Bathtub Tuesday! I love bathtubs and bathroom design and my dream is to have a bathroom (or two or three) designed just for me. Until then I have the internet and this blog, so on Tuesdays I'll be sharing my bathroom design fantasies with you. Aren't you lucky?
I discovered all of these great bathroom illustrations on AllPosters.com, so I'll be featuring one every week. This week's bathtub pic is Victorian Bathroom I by Jerianne Van Dijk
Want more great Tuesday reading? Visit the Wiki for bathtubs.
Now, without further ado, this week's tub...(drumroll please)

I LOVE this book! I have gotten so many ideas from it. This is a must buy if you're a Home Spa Goddess!
Book Description:
"Girls' Night In is a playful and practical illustrated guide to creating spa parties sure to nourish the soul and soothe the body. Divided by season, each spa party, 12 in all, features a fun theme and includes fresh spa concoctions, activities, and foods, as well as music and decorating suggestions. Jennifer Worick presents a plethora of ideas, including the invigorating spring spa, designed to revitalize skin and spirit after the cold winter months; the energizing honey spa, certain to put new life in tired engines; and the classic slumber spa, in which pajamas, giggling, and gossip are mandatory. She's also taken some of the hottest spa treatments, such as a hot stone massage, cranial-sacral massage, and crystal therapy, and translated them for easy at-home use. Covering the basics, from invitations to the properly stocked spa pantry, the book also provides sidebars throughout that offer handy information on topics such as manicures and pedicures; the proper way to wash one's face; quotes and advice on beauty, health, and wellness; and tips from spas around the country."

How cute is this Smith & Vandiver Bathing Beauties 13 Piece Set? I've seen these in Osco and Nordstrom Rack but I haven't bought one yet. This set is $26.99, which is a little steep, but they are sooo cute. And the description from the site says "Each Bathing Beauty provides 6-8 baths or weeks of shower time fun". I'm very temped...

"The new sok overflowing bath creates the ultimate soaking experience and features seating areas specifically designed for the two people. You and your partner are deeply submerged in slow-moving water, which continuously flows over all sides of the infinity edge with a gentle rhythm. We've also increased the size of the bath to accommodate the added water overflow generated by two bathers simultaneously entering the bath. You can incorporate calming chromatherapy and champagne-like effervescent bubbles that caress your skin to further customize your placid escape."
This wouldn't work for bubble baths, of course, but I still want this tub.

I was in LOVE with the Pottery Barn books when they came out last year and I wanted every one. Last month I was cruising the "book aisle" in Marshall's and there was a copy of Bathrooms for $7! Retail price was $24.95:)
Great ideas and glorious pictures fill this book. It also has more than a few bathrooms I'd like to call my own. If you see this one in the bargain bin, snap it up!

We didn't have cable when MTV came out, so it was the only way my sister and I got to see the latest music videos. I thought I was the only one (besides my sister) who remembered this show - but no, here's the freakishly thorough Wiki and a tribute site. The internet is amazing.
Anyway, I bring it up because I'm starting a new feature on the blog this week, Friday Night Spa Videos! It's inspired by and in tribute to the late great Friday Night Videos (FNV for those in the know).
Friday Night Spa Videos(FNSV) will showcase a different bunch of spa/beauty videos every week. I'll embed a few and provide links to others. DSL and Cable internet are also amazing.
I am soooo happy that people are putting spa and beauty related enbedable/linkable video content on YouTube, Expert Village, and many other outlets. I'm also delighted to post it so more people can see it. If you have some beauty video that I can embed or link to send me an email and let me know.
Here are this weeks Spa-riffic videos...
I've been saving this one! Here is a video from the CBS Early Show on how to "Create The Spa Experience At Home" with Cheryl Kramer, the beauty editor for Redbook.
This is a set of videos from Expert Village on Facials. It's "Facial Masks for Beauty, Relaxation & Healing : Tips for Home Spa Treatments" by expert Nili Nathan
