Advantages: Cheap Thermarest Mat, Very Comfortable Disadvantages: Size
Thermarest mats have been at the top of any kit list for keen campers such as myself. I spent about 5 years sleeping on those terrible closed cell foam mats. It was during a 5 day long expedition that i woke up with a bad neck and said "Im getting a thermarest."
I searched the market for a thermarest pad that suited my needs. The first mat i purchased was my Luxury Edition Camprest mat which was about £100. This is a great mat, and when ever there is a car available to be my porter i will pack this. I then purchased a Perforance Series Ultralight mat. This is used when im climbing high in the mountains where a massive mat lashed to the side of your bag just doesent help your performance. Finally i decided to try one of the discovery series mats, mats that i had outcast earlier.

Advantages: tasty, economical, Disadvantages: might be too sweet for some people
After a stressful day at the office how do you relax and unwind to get into the right frame of mind for a good night?s sleep? Sometimes I have a nice long bath with candles and a glass of wine.

Advantages: lovley smell Disadvantages: expensive, not mny bubbles
Like most women, my idea of relaxing after a long hard slog at work is to have a nice long soak in a deliciously scented bath. For everyday use I pick up some pretty nice cheap bubble baths form Bodycare. However there is only one shop to go to for an extra special luxurious bath, Lush. Duskman was being extra nice to me at Valentines Day, and bought me a little parcel of sleep inducing lush products as we had colds that week and were not sleeping well at all. It contained two lavender-scented products. These are Waving Not Drowning Bath Ballistic and Dreamtime luxury bath melt. The latter will be the subject of this review.
Dreamtime. What nice name for a bath product but what exactly is it?? Like you I was asking myself that question. I have used Lush?s Bubble bar slices and bath ballisitics before but never the bath melts. They are ...
