Maison Margiela Replica Bubble Bath is a new fresh floral fragrance with notes of soap bubble accord, rose, white musk, and coconut milk. This launched a few weeks ago for the Spring 2021 season and becomes part of Replica’s permanent line of fragrances.

Replica Bubble Bath is inspired by relaxing in a warm hot bath with fluffy bubbles. It gives off clean, fresh, spa-like vibes with it’s soft, delicate notes! As you know from my past Replica reviews the brand specializes in scent memories. Their fragrances are meant to evoke a good memory or feeling. I think scent is such a powerful way to evoke memories. Your first kiss, your wedding day, memories of your mom, they are all linked to some sort of fragrance or scent. Replica specializes in scent memories.

This time around I don’t think there’s a memory attached to Replica Bubble Bath but more a sensation or a feeling. That feeling is the one of sinking into a warm bath and enjoying a moment of tranquil peace. I’m a shower person but my guilty pleasure at the end of a long day is sinking into a warm bubble bath. I love when it’s cold outside and I can hear the breeze outside my bathroom window while I sit in the tub (even better if it is raining outside and I can hear the rain hitting the window). I’ll play the soundtrack to Pride & Prejudice and when Liz at the Top of the World comes on I’ll sink into the water until my ears are covered in water, close my eyes, and listen to the piano as it reaches that perfect peak.

Maison Margiela Replica Bubble Bath is all about self care and self pampering! A moment stolen out of the day to close your eyes and relax.

Grove Collaborative has debuted a new skincare line for Spring 2021 called Superbloom. If you follow me on Instagram you might know I am a clean-a-holic and an organizing freak. Mrs Hinch is the cleaning goddess I pray to on the daily. No but seriously, I find comfort in a clean, well organized house. I like to do laundry, I like to organize the pantry, I like waxing the wood floors wearing bright red lipstick, I like Febreezing stuff, I like home decor, I like long, slow, romantic trips down the aisles of Home Goods when their isn’t a pandemic raging. I like to clean things and I readily admit that.

Grove Collaborative is actually my go to for ALL my cleaning needs. No this isn’t an ad, they don’t even know I exist outside the friendly e-mails they send me after I place an order! Why do I like Grove? First off, they carry every single cleaning thing you’ll ever need (and other stuff too!). Secondly, when the pandemic hit last year they were one of the few places that had hand sanitizer available, and thirdly, the most important thing of all, they have thee best customer service. You know what into Trader Joe’s and you stroll around and TJ employees are all chill with their “Hey! How you doing?” or when you check out at TJs and you’re suddenly talking to the check out person like you’ve been besties for 30+ years! “Oh my god I know right? I’d totally serve the chocolate gnocchi as a Christmas dessert!” And wait, there’s more…! The free gifts! Grove is no stranger to including samples and little gifts in with your orders like Swedish towels, tubes of laundry detergent, etc….!

But it’s the customer service that keeps me coming back! No auto generated e-mails for you! I’ll always get little custom e-mails from them like a thank you for my order or someone following up with me about a product. Grove Collaborative is an experience and a vibe.

This week, they debuted their own privately labeled skincare collection called Superbloom which is a sustainable and clean line of skincare that includes ten products in a price range of $17 to $44. The line includes moisturizers, serums, eye cream, and more!

The Superbloom Skincare Collection contains EWG-verified formulas with no synthetic fragrances, parabens, phthalates and silicones plus the products are cruelty-free, vegan and Leaping Bunny certified with 85% plastic-free packaging, including recyclable glass bottles and jars, FSC-certified paperboard cartons and no-VOC UV ink.

I haven’t personally tried the products yet but look forward to doing so!

Superbloom is available now!

I remember going to the MAC counter at Nordstrom a few years ago and a new MA came over to help me. I typically bond with one MA at a counter and I admit I’ll leave if they aren’t there! It’s rare that I want to talk to someone else as I feel like my personal MA knows me a little better than someone new. As in they know I’m going to buy, as in they know I don’t need an aggressive sales push to get me to buy, and they know I don’t want them touching my face and pushing me to try things on.

But….

I made an exception that day when I headed into Nordstrom and I talked to a new MA and she was nice! The thing I remember most about that day was her lashes. She had super long and luxurious lashes. They obviously weren’t fake and I asked her what she had used on them to get them that long.

She proceeded to tell me…
