Update on Fragrant Jewels Bath Bombs!

I want to give an update since I have had the opportunity to try out all 4 bombs that I bought.

Things that made me smile: RINGS!
  • I am a sucker for RINGS! 
(Please ignore my terrible nails! I just got acrylics taken off!)

Things that made me frown: smell, itching...
  • I only enjoyed two of the scents I bought, Revive and Unwind. The other two, Midnight Garden and Tranquility, didn't smell for long and it ended up being a bath with colored water. The issues I had with actually receiving the bath bombs and then once they arrived only two had a scent that lasted for the duration of my bath (instead of 2 minutes) I'm just not satisfied. 
  • Itching... I couldn't stop itching for three days after I used one of the bath bombs. I've tried bath bombs from three companies so far and Fragrant Jewels is the only one I had an allergic reaction to.
This being said, I have to say (despite the itching) I am in love with the Revive and Unwind bath bombs. These two somewhat redeem the company for it's, quite honestly, many faults.

And now we arrive at the question: Will I be buying from this company again?
  • Answer: No. Two good bath bombs are not enough to redeem so much fault. I won't be buying from Fragrant Jewels again.

It's Okay to Pamper Yourself

I can't speak for the majority, but I do know that there are some women out there that grew up being taught practicality. It's a great lesson to learn, keeps you safe in a world of uncertainty. Yet what happens when we are fed up and need to relax? Women tend to be the ones that do it all. We go to work and help bring home the "bacon", clean the house, wash the clothes, cook the food, etc. And you know what? That's okay. If that's what you choose, good for you. Women have the right to choose this. But what I had to learn was that it's okay to, also, choose relaxation.
What do I mean? I mean that a bath bomb here and there, a new hair cut, or getting your nails done; all these things are completely fine to treat yourself to. Women are often taught self sacrifice. We are taught, through the actions of our mothers, to do for others before ourselves. This is noble, humble even. But don't forget to take care of yourself once in a while. Let yourself soak in a bath for a half hour and get all pruned up. Let yourself take an hour and have a nail appointment. Allow yourself to be pampered. It's okay. It's good. It's not practical, but that's okay.
Sorry about the randomness, this isn't a review (obviously). But I just needed to say it. See you soon with Part 3 of the Bath Bomb Reviews!
