It's been a busy several days since my last post. I have been making more of our new solid bubble bath bars. Today I made the bubble bars in two much requested scents from our scrub line.... Rose & Violet Creams and BeeBee Bumbles. I have also formulated (fingers crossed) a new bubble bar I am calling Dubble Bubble because, you guessed, it has tns and tons more bubble power for those that just wanted their heads to poke out from the tub of silky bubbles.

Here are a few early pictures, the bubble bars haven't had their finished touches added as yet.

HUGE news....a few of the very first offerings of the brand new signature Posh Brats exclusives are now in the shop! Remember how much you loved our scrubs? Well.... we decided to bring them back only this time we're making them ourselves. No more outsourcing.

This means we control what goes in them and we make sure all ingredients are sourced from the UK. That means we've cut that carbon footprint right down!

You've got to check these out.....seriously. They are made with the finest of butters, organic sugars, Scottish oats, pulverized vanilla beans and the list goes on and on. This is only the START of what will continue to grow.... watch for more scrubs, as well as shamppos, hair conditioners, bath melts, and bubble bars....it's all coming! Watch this space for all the latest!!!

We've been busy little bees churning out these wonderful new scrubs for you. Every order will get free samples too! I added some brand new scents today....you will LOVE these!!

Cotillion Scrub
In the very genteel olde South.....way down yonder in Dixie, young girls were presented to society in grand formal events called Cotillions. Traditionally this is when a young lady would 'come out' to society and be officially on the marriage market. I imagined this scent would involve a delicate mix of heady florals, the pristine white silks and organzas, a light sparkle of champagne & the teeniest slice of sugary iced almond cake.

Crystal Palace Scrub
The Crystal Palace was a 'modern' wonder of the Victorian era and the pride of the British. I have created this scent imagining the myriad of scents one might encounter....from the freshness of the greenery & flowers to the whiff of perfume as many grand ladies swept past you in their silks & laces. Underneath it all is the headiness of exotic spices from the Raj & a fine gentleman's cologne.

Lady Pamela Scrub
Lady Pamela is the ultimate in delicacy but with a heart of sweetness. Antique musk roses and French violets adorn & perfume her silken locks. She pours cups of steaming black tea heady with the sweetness of Devonshire cream & vanilla fondant fancies.

Rose & Violet Creams Scrub
This beauty is a layered scrub, so you get two great scents in one jar! Rich dark chocolate enveloping delicate rose and violet fondants. This is a heavenly experience!

Spoiled Brat Scrub
Brats of the world unite! For those of us who just don't care what anyone says, we want what we want....this scent is for you. Who says we can't have our cake and eat it too?! Ripe juicy watermelon sorbet, sweet sugary pink bubblegum, ginger ale ice cream sodas with French vanilla, and sweet syrupy ripe peineapple....yeah, I might get a tummyache but it's soooooo good!

Wicked Carnival Scrub
Oh the excitement and madness of the carnival....but the BEST part is the food right? Yes, we know it's bad for us for it's so so yummy....it's in here: Funnel Cakes swirled round and round, fried in butter and then sprinkled with icing sugar and cinnamon. Add some pink sugary candy floss, a sweet yet tart raspberry ice and finish it all off with a big piece of sticky yummy bubblegum. Oh, the carb laden bliss of it all!

Do you ever wonder how things are made? I took a few snaps of the process:

It's been a very busy weekend, a little bit of rest as I took the entire day off yesterday and spent some time with the family. Today found me doing inventory and mixing new scent blends to finish out the first seasonal round of scrubs.

These are the scents we have added today:

LE Valentine's Scent: Black Forest Cake Scrub (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte)
What is more love inspiring and passionate than a slice of deep dark Black Forest Cake....dark chocolate sponge cake layers soaked with kirsch liquer, sandwiched together with layers of dark tart cherries, and vanilla/almond buttercream all topped off with rich dark chocolate shavings. Yeah, we're drooling too!

LE Valentine's Scent: Flaming Passion Scrub
We've all had one..... that all-consuming passion that makes no sense to anyone but to those involved. It's a delightfully wicked scent of the very rare Spanish passion flower, the finest French Champagne, tropical blossoms, rich ripe guava fruit & some vanilla whipped cream. Grab your partner and go share a romantic candlelit bath studded with rose petals.

LE Valentine's Scent: Kiss Me, You Fool!
Theda Bara the silent film star said it first and best....Kiss me, you fool! Who doesn't enjoy a good snog and this will certainly get you snogged/kissed/raptured/etc/etc! Fresh coconut, ribbons of toffee fudge, piles of billowy whipped vanilla cream, creamy coconut custard, honeycomb candy,oatmeal for exfoliation & pulverized toasted coconut.

LE Valentine's Scent: Paris Patisserie
Ahhh, the romance of Paris! Stroll along the Champs Elysees, take in the flavour of the Latin Quarter and don't forget to visit a patisserie and indluge in some delights and a very strong coffee to wash it all down. You don't have to choose, it's all here... fresh strawberry cream tarts, almond studded & marzipan filled buns, piles of vanilla creme dainties, toffee sponge, fruit & cream choux, & butter pecan lace cookies.

LE Valentine's Scent: Voodoo Aphrodisiac Scrub
Made from a real New Orleans voodoo aphrodisiac recipe....we won't tell you everything but this entrancing scent features real essential oils & elixres. SOME of the essences are nag champa, Egyptian musk, amber, ambergris (fragrance not real), Bourbon vanilla, & real Indian Sandalwood EO. The secret bits are just that....secret. This is even made at the right phase of the moon..... *Due to the special skills involved & the high costs of the real oils and elixres in this, we this is more expensive than some of our other scents.*

Limited Edition: Mystere' Mardi Gras Scrub
There is a hot sexiness about the New Orleans Mardi Gras festivities! The hot passions run deep in Creole blood and even the most demure maiden will transform in the steamy atmosphere of Mardi Gras. We've captured that essence in this scent redolent with voodoo secrets & love elixres, dragons blood, island spices, tropical greenery, the scorched cypress wood of a ritual dance in Congo square, and dark exotic musk.

Shopaholic Scrub
Are you guilty of this?......I am! Shopaholics unite....we don't need therapy, we need more closet space! Tempted by this?..... ripe juicy melon, blood orange, crimson berries, bundles of French blooms from a secret admirer, white musk and a touch of soft powder.
