Disney Reviews: Shopping Edition #5 - Basin

This is another one of those "what took her so long to get here?" posts! Anyone that knows me personally, knows I WORSHIP bath bombs in all their forms, but none more so than those that come from Basin! From ones with Mickey Heads in them, to ones with Pirate treasure or Princess gifts or even a mini bath jungle, there is something for everyone here!

Located in the Marketplace at Downtown Disney (directly behind the Ghirardelli store):

I do actually even have shots from the inside (after the remodel):

Over the past couple of years, I've finally started branching out and trying other products of theirs (not just the bombs). Some have been hits, some have been misses, but I now can't imagine life without the Bamboo Charcoal facial soap bar because my skin has never looked better because of it (and I must restock this trip...my poor bar is looking slim). There is always an overabundance of bombs in my house though (that sounds ominous) and I particularly like the Patchouli Sandalwood (and the therapy is good too). You can buy them online, but where is the fun in that? Besides, I used to love the Ghirardelli store until our local Target started carrying Ghirardelli chocolate and now the novelty has worn off and I rarely even go in there anymore.

What most people don't know is that there are actually two Basin stores on property, the main store Downtown and a Basin White located in the Grand Floridian Resort (aka, the Indian Burial Ground Resort). I do love the Basin White scent (which is only available at the Basin White store), but it's one that only gets visited when we do tea at the GF because I'm not a big fan of that place (because of the Indian Burial Ground vibes). Apparently though, the best picture I have of it is across the lobby:

(that's it on the second floor behind those ladies - I know...hard to see and not what I was shooting at).

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
