3 Ways Pamper Your Partner B&B Style!


Whether you’ve already made plans for Valentine’s Day or not, pampering your partner doesn’t have to be restricted to just one day! Why not say “I love you” and surprise them with some quality pampering year round? Today I’ll share 3 ways to pampering your partner the bath & body way!

1. Treat their senses with sensual scent!
It’s been proven that certain aromas can arouse desire so why not give your loved one a sensual new scent to enhance your romance? Yes, you’ll be using a bit of psychology with this trick! By giving them a sensual scent you will strengthen their existing association of arousal and desire with YOU ;) oh la la! Now that’s the kind of classical conditioning that can really heat things up! Pick a scent combo that fits your partner’s personality and that stimulates your own sense of attraction. Suggestions for him include: musks, mints, cedars, or basil blends. Suggestions for her include: soft, feminine aromas such as crisp apples or sweet scents like buttercream icing and cotton candy.
2. Prepare a soothing soak!
Surprise your special someone with a soothing soak! This gets an especially good response after a they’ve had a long stressful day! To create a simple romantic escape, all it takes is a bathtub, wonderfully warm water, a candle or two, and a skin loving bath bomb or fluffy bubble bath! If you’re partners skin could use some TLC (think dry skin), use an olive oil bath bomb. If you’re partners joints, muscles, and mood needs some TLC, use a bath tea. If you just want to set the mood and play on your partners favorite scent, go for some bubble bath!
3. Make Magic with a Massage
Treat your loved on to the gift of therapeutic touch. There’s a style that suits everyone, whether it’s a Swedish massage for two at the spa, or a DIY back or foot rub at home. If you go for the DIY version, you and your partner will set the scene for some great bonding time – both emotionally and physically. Don’t worry if you’re not a master masseuse! All you need to do is listen to your partner about what they want! Maybe it’s just a foot rub, or making circles with your thumbs on their sore, stress filled shoulders. Whatever the cause, add in some solid lotion to help smooth things along AND treat their skin!

Love is in the Air at Batty’s Bath!

Many of you know that Halloween is my all time favorite holiday, but did you also know that valentine’s day is a close second? I bet you didn’t see that coming! It’s true! And I don’t love valentine’s day because the “commercial powers that be” tell you to you should actually treat your significant other like you love them.. and I don’t love that many singles can easily feel like they are left out of the most romantic day of the year… no no no… those are all reasons to ditch valentine’s day!
Instead, I love valentine’s day because you can easily make an ordinary day, into a special day with nothing more than some eskimo kisses! Yes, it’s the simple things in life that make life worth living and valentine’s day is a perfect time to embrace this ideal. I also have to admit that I love some very superficial things about valentine’s day! The reds, the pinks, the hearts, the glitter… all things girlie are totally acceptable and it’s perfectly acceptable to go totally over the top with ribbons, glitter, and bows! It’s also one of the only days of the year that almost every agrees that pink and red can go together. For the record, I think the idea that red and pink clash is a horrible myth spread by party poopers! lol!
It may seem a bit early to be talking about Valentine’s Day but the online world moves fast – particularly online shopping – and people start shopping and searching for holiday goodies early to ensure anything they find can be shipped, made, or printed before February 14th. Because of this, I spent a good part of my Christmas holidays preparing my Valentine’s Day line! All my lovey dovey creations have been released in the Etsy shop, but you can check out everything in the line below!
Treat your special someone – or yourself – to wonderfully moisturizing massage hearts! These solid lotion hearts are a non-messy way to pamper skin with the benefits of naturally moisturizing and smoothing ingredients like cocoa seed butter, shea butter, and sweet almond oil. Just rub these hearts on feet, elbows, legs, hands, and anywhere else that could use some “loving”. Pick up a bottle of wine and you’ve got yourself a romantic date night of massages and “bubbles” – wine bubbles that is!
Enjoy the spicy romantic smell of hot cinnamon hearts in a pretty pink body polish! This body treat is a great way to get your skin perfectly polished for Valentine’s Day! Who could resist smooth, touchable skin that has been beautifully buffed by natural sugars? Nobody here at Batty’s Bath can! Batty’s Bath Body Polishes & Scrubs are 95% natural (the only synthetic ingredient is the fragrance oil) and many of the ingredients are certified organic!
Get ready for season of love with this special limited edition pure mineral makeup eye shadow from Batty’s Bath! This pretty pink eye shadow provides a vibrant pigmentation (no blending into the background here!), and lasts as long as you need it to! Apply it in layers until you get just the right amount of pretty pink for you! This eye shadow is packaged in a clear jar with a sifter and sold by weight, not volume so you get lots of eye shadow!
Tell your valentine how you feel with SOAP! These soap bars smell like sweet cherries and are handmade with shea butter soap. This listing is for ONE soap bar. If you would like a particular saying, please include that in the note to seller during check out.

Treat your lips to tasty pink lip balm this Valentine’s Day! This lip balm tastes like spicy cinnamon hearts and is tinted pink with natural colorants to add give your lips a romantic glow!
Batty’s Bath Handmade Bath Bombs are a relaxing getaway waiting to happen.. and the best part? You don’t even have to leave the house! Just run a warm bath, drop a bath bomb in and prepare to be pampered!
Each bath bombs is packed with skin loving Olive Oil that will leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and totally moisturized! After soaking in the tub with one of these bombs you wont need to moisturize after and you’ll smell great!
Our special valentine’s day bath bomb is shaped like a heart and smells like cinnamon heart candies! Do your skin some good and let go of the stress of your day by relaxing in the tub with one of our bath bombs today!
Size: This extra large bath bomb is 180 g / 6 oz! It can easily last for several baths! Just let it fizz a bit in the warm tub water and then pull it out of the tub and place it in the cool draw place.
Sizzle Sizzle!!! HOT Cinnamon!!! This handmade glycerin soap smells just link hot cinnamon heart candies! It’s spicy and sparkly (thanks to red glitter!).
Make your valentine smile with this uplifting handmade glycerin soap! This soap smells like cinnamon hearts and the smiling hearts are erasers! Turn any sink, tub, or shower into a positive, happy space with the “you make my heart smile” glycerin soap bar!

Behind the Scenes Updates & Valentine’s Day Goodies

Greetings everyone!

I hope everyone had a great time during the holidays
and that 2011 is off to a great start :)
While I was on vacation I did a lot of work “behind the scenes” around here and you’re going to notice a lot of changes with Batty’s Bath over the next little while. I took time to take a good look at everything to see where improvements needed to be made and what needed to be updated, overhauled, or made over! …. including my own hair!!! lol! Beautiful blue for Batty ;)



Ok, enough about my hair and on to more exciting news ;)
One the first things you might already have noticed is that the logo has been spruced up! You can see large image of the revised logo here. Also, check out the sidebar of the blog! All my most popular blog posts are linked there! If you’re ever looking for more information about a bath & body topic, check there first! You never know what I might have wrote about! Oh, and if you have a topic you’d like to see featured, please let me know! I’m planning my blog posts out early this year so any help on content ideas is great appreciated! :)
The second thing you may have noticed is our new tag line.. or “slogan”: Nurturing products based on old world charm with a green conscience. I feel strongly that this new slogan sums up what Batty’s Bath is based on and what I stand for – from everything to making products from scratch with the highest quality local ingredients, to ensuring that every single step we take is as environmentally friendly and socially responsible as possible. Below you will see the extension of our new tag line:

Besides the graphic changes (the blog has had a makeover and so has battysbath.com – watch for the release of the new battysbath.com soon!), we’ve had some changes in our products as well! The most notable is the scrubs & body polishes! They have had a major makeover! So what’s the difference in formulas? Just about everything!!! I’m no longer making whipped soap for the scrubs and body polishes (this was what all those wonderful exfoliates where added to). Instead, I’ve created a cream based body polish that is completely free of sulfates! It’s 95% natural (the only synthetic ingredient is the fragrance oil) and many of the ingredients are certified organic! You still use this product in the shower and it still exfoliates just as well as before (the same exfoliating ingredients are used), but the major difference is that this product is even milder than before (rejoice all of you who have sensitive skin!!). Even those with the most fussy skin should be able to enjoy these new scrubs and body polishes without any problems (as usual, do a skin check first!). Additionally, since this product isn’t a soap anymore, you’ll want to pick out another skin loving product to use as a body wash / body soap (don’t worry – I’ve got lots of options in the shop as well as new soapy things up my sleeves!).

Speaking of new soapy things… I’ve released my valentine’s day goodies! These items are available for a limited time and I don’t have many in stock! If you find something you or your valentine will like, snag it before someone else does :)

Oh, and those new scrubs & body polishes I mentioned? Well, I released a special valentine’s day body polish called cinnamon heart!

Another notable change is that we’ve outgrown Gmail for our mailing list! We have had to switch to mailchimp to handle our list! Trust me, it’s not that big of a list, but it’s nice to feel like the biz is “outgrowing” things before it’s 1st birthday ;) If you are already signed up for the mailing list you don’t need to do anything – I’ll transfer your email address to the new system. If you aren’t on the list and would like to be, sign up on the side bar of the blog.
Stay tuned for a lot more news over the next little while!
2011 is going to be an extremely exciting year!!! :)
