After a long day digging, weeding and hauling veg at our allotment, there’s one treat we look forward to most – a warm, fizzy bath with Lush’s A Mo‑Ment For Life bath bomb.
This spring and early summer, we’ve been pouring our hearts into the allotment. Hours spent planting runner beans, battling weeds, and harvesting crisp radishes and kale have left us physically spent but deeply fulfilled. There’s something unexpectedly meditative about tending soil and watching things grow – perhaps it’s much like bathing itself: a nurturing ritual. When we saw the garden shed bath bomb design of A Mo‑Ment For Life, we knew it was going in our basket.
That’s why plunging into a warm tub scented with A Mo‑Ment For Life was our favourite form of post-allotment reward. Picture this:
- Your muscles unwind in teal-scented water.
- The aroma of lemon and ginger revitalises after a day outdoors.
- You float, tired and content, as the bath bomb paints a little green foam art on the water’s surface.
This limited-edition delight from Lush is more than just a colourful fizz. It’s inspired by the little green shed where Mo Constantine invented the world’s first bath bomb back in 1989. From its shed-shaped design to its zingy scent, this bath bomb is a full-on self-care moment – and it’s become our favourite way to unwind after an afternoon at the plot. After a long day at the allotment – mud under our nails, baskets full of homegrown veg, and that satisfying ache in our muscles – there’s only one item we have been looking forward to.
This isn’t just any bath bomb. It’s a shimmering green, shed-shaped tribute to where it all began. Packed with zingy lemon, warming ginger, and grounding black pepper, it’s everything we needed for a well-earned soak of dreams.
Here’s why we think Lush‘s A Mo‑Ment For Life is the ultimate feel-good bath bomb – and how you can use it to turn your post-allotment routine into a proper ritual.
1. A Mo‑Ment For Life is a Celebration of Bath Bomb History
Lush is 30, Flirty and Thriving. There’s something extra special about using a product that has a story – and A Mo‑Ment For Life is a beautiful tribute to where it all began for Lush. The design replicates Mo Constantine’s garden shed, where she created the very first bath bomb, making this release nostalgic, meaningful and downright adorable.
With its bold green body, white roof and cute details like windows and doors, it doesn’t just look great on your bathroom shelf – it connects you to the roots of Lush’s handmade ethos.
2. The Scent of A Mo‑Ment For Life is Fresh, Spicy and Energising
If you’ve been up since 7am trying to keep slugs off your cabbages and watering your pumpkins, you’ll appreciate a little post-gardening pick-me-up. That’s where this bath bomb really shines.
From Allotment Mud to Bathtub Bliss
Key ingredients:
- Lemon oil – bright and uplifting
- Ginger oil – gently warming and grounding
- Black pepper oil – adds depth and spice
The scent is fresh and zesty with a spicy kick – perfect for recharging after a long, muddy day at the allotment.
3. A Mo‑Ment For Life’s the Ultimate Post-Allotment Ritual
We’ve spent the last few months pouring time and love into our plot – from planting tomatoes to battling bindweed. It’s rewarding, but it’s also exhausting. That’s why A Mo‑Ment For Life has become our go-to recovery ritual.
Here’s how we use it:
- Run a warm bath and pop the bomb in.
- Watch the teal and green fizz swirl around.
- Breathe in the lemon and ginger aroma.
- Sink in and let the day melt away.
There’s something deeply satisfying about going from muddy hands to silky soft skin in one soak. It’s like your whole body exhales.
4. The Bath Art is Pure Joy
Let’s be honest – part of the fun of Lush bath bombs is the show. This one doesn’t disappoint.
Once in the water, it foams into a bright green with swirls of colour at the end, leaving your bath water a shimmering green. The bath art is soothing to watch and makes the experience feel even more luxurious. It’s self-care that looks and smells as good as it feels.
Plus, it’s totally Instagrammable if you’re into that kind of thing (and let’s face it, we are).
5. The A Mo‑Ment For Life Bath Bomb Aligns with Sustainable Self-Care
One of the reasons I love Lush is that their values align with my own. As we try to live more intentionally – growing our own veg, shopping second-hand, rewearing outfits proudly and living a vegan lifestyle – it’s important that our self-care choices reflect that too.
Why this bath bomb fits the bill:
- It’s vegan and cruelty-free
- Made with ethically sourced ingredients
- Packaged with minimal waste – (it arrived naked!)
- Handmade with care
It’s a small indulgence that doesn’t compromise your principles. And we’re all for making outfit repeating, homegrown food and sustainable bath bombs the norm.
Bonus Tip – Pair It With a Full Self-Care Night
If you’ve got a bit of time, make it a whole event. Here’s our go-to bath bomb night routine:
- Light a candle (we love anything lavender or eucalyptus)
- Put on your fluffiest robe
- Make a cup of mint tea (or pour a little fizz)
- Stick on your favourite chill-out playlist
- Drop A Mo‑Ment For Life in the tub and relax
You’ll float out of the bathroom feeling brand new.
