Blogmas Day 11: Cinders

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Santa's Workshop

Isn't this bike, so cute?! It had little parts that I had to put together. The steering wheel turns the wheel, even!

Playmobil Advent Calendar: Christmas in the Park

Here are more birds for the park. The white parts go on the tree and the bench. You can put the birds on the snow too!

Cinders Bath Bomb: I have gotten this bomb before. It has little orange pop candies that are supposed to crackle like a fire in the bath, but I can't hear it. I remember when I first got it I was expecting a loud crackling fire, but that didn't happen. It smells like cinnamon.

Here is what the website says about it: "Warming cinnamon crackled. Heat up your holidays with this sweet and spicy bomb inspired by fireside gatherings with family and friends. We combine crackling vegan candies with stimulating cinnamon leaf oil to recreate the warmth of the hearth. This spicy soak also has hydrating almond oil to keep your skin super soft and smooth - and with a bathtub fizzed so inviting, you can go ahead and skip the open fire and curl up with Cinders instead."

Day 22: Benefit Star Charm Necklace

This is cute, but the chain is flimsy. It isn't a solid chain. Also, it is too little for me. I'm going to see if my cousin wants it.

Lush's Cinders Bath Bomb

This seems like a fun one. The website says, "Heat up your holidays with this sweet and spicy bomb inspired by fireside gatherings with family and friends. We combine crackling vegan candies with stimulating cinnamon leaf oil to recreate the warmth of the hearth. This spicy soak also has hydrating almond oil to keep your skin super soft and smooth. With a bathtub so inviting you can skip the open fire and curl up with this fizzer instead. Cinders contains vegan popping candies to make your tub sound like a crackling fire."

Review: This turned the bath a pastel yellow, which is kind of gross to look at, but the product was nice smelling and everything. It sunk to the bottom and little bubbles came up. I had trouble hearing it crackle. It didn't feel like a fireplace to me. The product did soften my skin, like the other bath bombs have done. I wouldn't repurchase this though. Maybe I was expecting fireworks. I was expecting too much I guess.
