I love baths. Absolutely love them.

The Shunga Oriental Bath Crystals are incredible and make an already uber-relaxing bath just that much better. They contain essential oils and melt on contact with the bathwater, turning it a vibrant ocean blue that does wonders for easing stress levels. It doesn't turn your skin or the tub blue, for anyone worrying about Na'Avi Avatar impersonations or potential staining. When I was a kid I used to pretend I was swimming in the ocean, but not freezing my butt off! I very nearly cried when the last of mine got used up and I had to order more. If only it just magically replenished itself....*sigh*

The scent is pleasing and not too terribly strong - the closest comparison I can think of is lavender with a jasmine overtone and a hint of baby-oil scent. It's subtle, very relaxing, and the oils moisturize your skin beautifully. The oils settle on your skin and can feel a little heavy at first, but they absorb into your skin in no time and don't leave you feeling actually greasy. It comes with a cute little shell scoop for scooping the crystals into the tub.

I absolutely love this product. My mom uses it and has used it for ages, and she used to put it in the tub on occasion when my sister and I were small. I save it for special occasions to give myself that feeling of I-deserve-this-once-in-a-while indulgence and a feeling of nostalgia. I'll have a bad day, lock myself in the bathroom, and have a nice hot bath with some of this poured in. I'll stay there until the water's cooled and come out feeling much better than when I went in. Something about the shade of blue and the smell of it just instantly de-tangles and de-stresses my mind.
