Sooo, when I moved into the new house a little over 8 years ago, to say I was disappointed with the bathroom was an understatement. Sure the old bathroom was drafty, and the clawfoot didn't really have a shower (or a shower curtain for that matter.) But it could all be forgiven soaking in that tub, burning something and reading a book on a Sunday afternoon. I could escape into that bathroom for hours. The new bathroom - can I just say that the tub doesn't even come up to my waist when I'm sitting in it.
I try and make the most of it though. That little ass bathroom is packed with color. And bath products. Hautechick was over here on Saturday. She went into my bathroom for some shampoo and came out with; a hairdryer (why the hell I have a hair dryer when my hair has been locked for 8 years we'll never know), some eyelashes, facial loofahs, some shower gels, some lotions, some band-aids, a new toothbrush for her and one for the Artist, some toothpaste, and some conditioner. I didn't have any shampoo.
At any given time, you can find at least 5 kinds of shower gel (the Lemon Sugar is one of my favorites Shay), at least one type of Dr. Bronner's Soap, and 3 kinds of facial cleanser in my bathroom. Not to mention at least 5 kinds of lotion (some coordinating with the shower gels and always at least one kind of cocoa butter - I'm currently loving the body butter that Vaseline has come out with), 2 types of body butter, and 2 lip conditioners. Bath and Body Works is having a sale, so I am currently stocked with mostly stuff from there. For the winter I like the soap free body washes because my skin gets dry and I obviously am a SBCAA (Snarky Black Chick Against Ashiness)
And lets not talk about all the stuff that I have for my locks. Whoever said that dreadlocks are low maintenance has obviously never met me...
ps - I love Dr. Bronner's Soaps! It's a great thing to keep in your bathroom. I use it to wash my locks, and my face and my body! It can also be used in a pinch as toothpaste if you run out - I only suggest using the peppermint one for this purpose. And you can always use the bottle for reading material if you're on the can!

We used to have a jacuzzi tub in our old house, and I hardly ever used it. I love showers, hot n steamy, or sometimes even cold and quick. I just hate sitting there in the water as it gets cold. Although I am sure I would love the one that continuously flows over.
And that Lemon Sugar is so tasty smelling!!
