Anyone of a certain age will remember the absolute thrill of a bath cube – when those little fragrant bricks hit your bathwater they transformed it into something entirely more exciting. Bath cubes used to come in sets, very often, so you could swamp yourself with a cloud of the matching talc afterward if you wanted to! If you do remember those cubes, you’ll also remember being a bit gritty to the rear as well – they never did quite dissolve fully!
The Kneipp spin on a bath cube is a bath tablet – a large disc full of fizz that focusses more on wellbeing than glamour. These could not have arrived in a more timely way – there was no blog on Sunday because I was pole-axed by a horrible virus; went to bed on Friday afternoon and didn’t get up til Sunday having coughed my way through a temperature, aching limbs and finally pulling a stomach muscle so I could barely move. I know! Rubbish! But, I did manage to ease myself into a hot bath using the Kneipp Cold Season Bath Tablet that gave off a nice waft of eucalyptus and definitely eased aches. I found it soothing, if not medicinal, and felt I was being a bit more pro-active in helping myself feel better, if not actually really feeling better!
The Kneipp Sparkling Bath Tablets aren’t new, but there are a couple of recent additions to the range in the shape of Lavender for balancing and Red Poppy for relaxation. I think it’s nice to have them for those ‘moments’ when you want to upgrade a bath into something a little bit more caring. But you’ll still get a bit of a gritty seat – even after all these years, that’s something that hasn’t been solved! They’re £1.95 each.

I love Kniepp bath products (and yes I am that certain age so remember bath cubes! ) – I just wish they were easier to find – I think I first tried them as there was a small bottle in one of your beauty boxes.
Do hope you’re feeling better, Jane
getting there Ann.. up and about today which is something!
Bless you Jane
I knew something was up because I love your blog every day!
So glad you are feeling better
Xxxx
Get well soon Jane! Love Kniepp. My local independent chemist offers a range of their products so I will be heading there soon xx
I did notice no posts on Sunday but had hoped you were off having fun somewhere, not down with a lurgy! A bit of pampering does help relieve the flu/cold “blahs” I usually find…rifle through your stash and see what goodies you can use up…
Sending hugs over the interwebz 🙂
I’ve been using the Kneipp bath tablets for years and they are marvelous. I notice they’ve had a bit of a makeover, as they used to be wrapped in foil. I’m a skier and they are fantastic after a day on the slopes. Or gardening. Or when you have one of those miserable colds that makes you blue as well as red-nosed. They genuinely do seem to affect your mood and £2 is so little to pay for that.
I love the shower gels, too.
Also – the tablets are brilliant in your travel bag for holidays.
Sorry to hear you’ve not been well Jane. I was convinced the lack of posts yesterday was due to Mr BBB sweeping you off somewhere on some extravagant valentines surprise. Sorry it was a shitty weekend.
lol.. I wish! Although he did look after me very nicely while I lay in bed coughing and spluttering… 🙂
That’s far more romantic! Valentine Schmalentine…
