My very first Lush bath !!!
Today i took my very first lush bath, now don't get me wrong i am no lush virgin i just have a problem using things with the fear of them being gone. So after a long time staring (and smelling) all of my bath boms and bubble bars i decided on the Twilight bath bom.I always light a candle with my baths so i picked dark kiss from bath and body works, i felt like the scents would complement each other nicely. After cleaning the tub ( a pre bath ritual ) i filled it with scolding hot water, jumped right in and dropped in the bath bom. It not only smelled heavenly but i was shocked at how soft it made my bath water not to mention my skin. Twilight was suppose to start of pink then turn blue and finally purple. Mine started off a light pink and got darker until i could describe it as purple, but this did not disappoint me in the slightest. i was surprised at how long the bath bom lasted i expected it to fizz and be gone right away but it lasted well into my water getting cold, i have to confess i even started breaking off chunks to play with. Once finished i used airbons fyi lotion in mysterious. All three scents (bath bom, candle, and lotion) i would describe as warm, fruity, and girlie none of which were overpowering even when combined together. Needless to say my very first lush bath was a huge success and i will never again let my fear keep me from lovely baths. now that i am wonderfully relaxed i think i will take a nap and continue to enjoy the lasting sent of my bath.

Katharine McPhee Unbroken cd review
I originally got the Katharine McPhee cd Unbroken because i love the Kara Dioguardi song Terrified. Since i had the whole cd i had to give it all listen. I was pleasantly surprised at how much i ended up liking the album. She may not have the best vocals i have ever heard but the album is well written, the songs are well placed, and McPhee executes the songs well enough.
1. It's Not Right ~ This song is a great way to start the album. Its upbeat, catchy, and draws your attention enough to continue listening to the cd.
2. Had It All ~ This song was written by Kara Dioguardi so i was bound to like it. With that said there are songs (even ones not written by Kara) that i like better then this one.
3. Keep Drivin' ~ This song is one of the slower one on the album. To me it's fine, nothing special to write home about but at the same time i don't usually go out of my way to skip it when it comes up in my ipod rotation. It is however probably one of my least favorites on the cd.
4. Last Letter ~ At first i didn't really have a lot to say about this song but this is one of those that grew on me the more times that i listened to it. It's a typical girl scorned getting the bad feelings out song, something we can all relate to.
5. Surrender ~ Another one of the slower more balladish song but i like this one much better then Keep Drivin'. This one feel like it has more passion and meaning behind it. It swells nicely near the end and has a bit of a repetitive but comfortable conclusion.
6. Terrified ~ I love this song. There isn't much more to say. This song is the whole reason why i got this cd in the first place. It's already made it's way onto two of my playlists and if im going to listen to the whole cd i usually make a point to listen to this song at least twice. Katharine did a great job, but this is the first of Kara's songs that i have really been upset that she didnt sing her own songs.
7. How ~ I really like this song. its starts of slow and then starts to swell after about a minute. Again (like so many others) parts of it can get a bit repetitive but the lyrics, and music are very catchy, i find myself singing along (which gets a little embarrassing at work)
8. Say Goodbye ~ Probably the slowest song on the album, to me its a little boring. Its not that it isnt written, or sung well its just slow. I need my ballads to have enough passion behind them to keep me interested.
9. Faultline ~ I love this song. this song is my favorite one other the Terrified. I didn't notice it much the first few times that i listened to the cd, but the more i started catching onto the words, the more i liked this song. Not only do i find myself singing along to this song but i often find myself dropping everything i am doing and get really into it. (suuuper embarrassing at work). This is a good example of a ballad with passion.
10. Anybody's Heart ~ One of my least favorite, i just cant get into the lyrics and not a whole lot about the melody draws me in enough to get over the fact that im not passionate about the lyrics. It feels like she is trying to sing what would be better as a personal journal entry or a poem.
11. Lifetime ~ This song is catchy, very upbeat, and fun. The lyrics in this song are sort of "inspirational" (i wont hold it against the writer) i like this song, i am kind of at a loss for what else to say about it.
12. Unbroken ~ Another ballad and one of the better ones, not my favorite, but i dont dislike it and surly wouldn't ever skip it. Its a little bit on the slower more boring end of ballads but its still good. * side note i really like that the album is titled unbroken just because i think its cool, but i wish that the title song was one of my favorites (at least its not one of my least favorites)
13. Brand New Key ~ My least favorite song by a long shot, its nice that its the last song on the album because then i can just shut it off after unbroken. I actually sort of liked this song the first couple times i heard it but it's so catchy that it quickly got so stuck in my head that i began to despise it. I also started to like it less and less the more i started to learn the lyrics.
Well there ya go, thats my review on the Kathrarine McPhee album Unbroken. In conclusion i am pleased that i have this entire album and it is a shame that Katharine came in second place under Taylor Hicks on American Idol.
