but first... let's hear a glorious, invigorating yet relaxing playlist by our artist to help craft the perfect bath!

......

i just love a great playlist. i think it stems back to those glorious mixed tapes days where i'd either make, sometimes receive and always always covet a fabulous collection of tunes by various great artists! for me, a personal playlist is a magical grouping of songs. *bliss!* ... so i've asked some wonderful artists if they'd make up a little playlist on a theme for this rikrak studio series. i thought we might get a glimpse into what musically inspires these fabulous folks... i'm thrilled to present the next: playlists with Spa Goddess. and check out the other great playlists here.

jessica writes: My products are quite sensory engaging many of our senses: smell, touch, sight, and somewhere in there, also mood, emotion & inspiration. I do a regular theme on my blog  called The Art of the Bath  where I feature a photo/painting/illustration of an amazing bathtub: modern, outdoor, cozy, luxe, rustic, candlelit, humorous, etc. Often I will describe a real or fantasy bathing experience involving a collection of my products whose scent/function complete the mood created by the photo.

For my playlist, I’ve chosen some of my favorite music to create a decadent bathing experience and take The Art of the Bath to the next level with another of our senses: sound. These are the complete albums so the different moods created by each artist/compilation will flow consistently through the entire bath.
