Hey folks!

So I was out recently trying to find some good massage oil.

A terrible accident involving half a bottle of sandalwood massage oil, my new down comforter, and a lit candle resulted in my having to go on an expensive shopping excursion.

Yes, I am a bit accident prone. In my defense, not all my blood was getting to my head at the time and my hands were slippery.

Still, it was worth it.

Anyway, I wanted something less likely to spill and make me lunge across the ropes to try and catch it.

This gave me two options:

The first was to get a bottle that only poured a drop or two at a time. This was not all that appealing, since it would take a long time and a lot of shaking to get the quantity needed for a good rub-down, and it could still leak.

The second option was to get a massage bar.

My wanderings took me far and wide (well…ok, I only wandered a bit. I’m lazy and was lugging several shopping bags) but as usually happens I ended up in Good Vibrations.

Did you know they make their own brand of massage bars?

These were awesome. I had been going through the ingredients on several brands (not just the bars, but also the ones in tins that looked like pomade) and I was a little sketchy since most of them had various waxes as a base. I try and pamper my skin, and that means I go to great lengths to minimize breakouts or clogged pores.

That’s when I saw the Good Vibrations brand of massage bars.

Their ingredients?

Pure cocoa butter, shea butter and peppermint.
They seemed far better than any of the other selections there, so I chose one that smelled like pomegranate-mint to try at home.

WOW.

Ok, first off they melt to your body heat, so when you rub the bar on your massage recipient, you get the perfect amount of oil. No more, no less.

Second, the bar re-solidifies when away from the body. No muss, no fuss. Just re-wrap and put back in the drawer.

Third, it washes off well, leaving the skin soft without any lingering residue.

However, the best part of all was how good it smelled. I washed it off with an unscented soap, so I was lightly perfumed with pomegranate all day long. I got several compliments from random people throughout the day.

I’m going back to pick up some more in different scents.

I highly recommend these to anyone who likes giving or receiving massages, or anyone who likes to pamper their skin.
