Pumpkin Spice Bath Bombs Are Here to Get You Ready for Fall

If you’re of the mind that pumpkin spice makes everything nice, one company is approaching the flavor with a different kind of fall must-have — bath bombs.

Atlantic Fizz’s Pumpkin Spice Bath Bomb ($4) combines the best elements of autumn’s essence with your fave way to unwind (bath time, duh). For those who don’t like drinking lattes but still love the scent, now you can step out of your tub smelling like sweet, cinnamon-y goodness.

The Philadelphia-based company makes bombs that are cruelty-free and feature natural ingredients, including a touch of sea salt “to give that Atlantic style kick.”

If pumpkin spice isn’t your thing, they also make fall fizzies in Harvest Apple ($4) and Cinnamon Bun ($4). And if you just want something that doesn’t smell like food, you’re covered there too with Black Velvet ($4) and Glitter and Gold ($4).

What do you think of the bath bombs? How will you celebrate the start of autumn? Tell us @BritandCo!

Your new favorite Lush bath bombs have landed. In honor of Wes Anderson's most recent film, Asteroid City, the fresh cosmetics brand launched four new products to help you feel over the moon about getting all clean and pampered. Each pick incorporates a playful pinch of Wes Anderson quirks into your shower routine and bathroom space. Here's what's touched down on Earth from the collaborative collection!

Asteroid Bath Bomb ($9)

Lush's iconicSpace Girl fragrance is making a *huge* comeback for this bath bomb. The product shows off a plethora of crater-y shapes along the exterior, making this pick an Asteroid City in itself. When plopped in the tub, you'll get a strong whiff of black currant, grapefruit, and bergamot, all while being transported to a vast galaxy of relaxation.

UFO Shower Jelly ($10)

This shower product boasts some of Lush's best citrusy notes via their classic Calacas scent. Crafted to look like an otherworldly spacecraft, the UFO Shower Jelly also gets its spacey charm from a squishy, malleable texture.

Asteroid City Shower Gel ($25)

Shower your self in something uber-clean, using the Asteroid City Shower Gel. It's the *perfect* complement to all of the Lush bath bombs, especially the cosmic one from this capsule collection. The blue-toned formula alongside a bold label design is reminiscent of the coming film's nostalgic aesthetics and colorful aspects, so you'll be reminded of the "out there" every time you see this bottle on your shower rack.

Doomsday Soap ($10)

It's a tad paradoxical to say that the Doomsday Soap flaunts a delicate sweet scent, but it gets infused with Lush's The Comforter – a light and fruity smell that leaves you clean and aromatic. This intense-on-the-eyes soap bar features a crater-like shape on top of a bed of cleanser, recalling the themes of Wes Anderson's newest flick.

The full Lush x Asteroid City collection will be available starting today, June 16th on the Lush App and on LushUSA.com.

Emily in Paris season 4 was the buzziest season yet, and for good reason. Emily's in Rome, Camille was never pregnant, and Gabriel's hair went from très hot to tragique. In addition to the viral response to Gabriel's new hair, season 4 left me pretty sad because after four years of waiting for Emily and Gabriel to get together, they almost immediately break up — and actor Lucas Bravo is just as confused as we are.

Carole Bethuel/Netflix

“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” Lucas Bravo told IndieWire while promoting Mélanie Laurent’s Freedom. “As they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”

Honestly it makes me really sad that a character we all love so much is becoming unrecognizable. But at the same time, it makes me feel a little bit better, because we're not the only ones who feel like Gabriel has changed. And while Lucas has done what he can to bring those early-series aspects of Gabriel back, he says "there is only so much I can do in the limits of a script.”

Netflix

“I tried for seasons to bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set," he continues. “It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5…because my contract ends at Season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self. Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore. It’s a comedy, everybody is having fun around me, everybody is jumping around, and I’m just slowly sinking into god knows what.”

Say what now?! If Lucas Bravo leaves Emily in Paris, I truly don't know what I'd do. Gabriel is my favorite character on the show! (Or at least, early Gabriel was.) Seeing him move from 30, flirty, and thriving to someone who's consistently in the middle of an existential crisis doesn't make sense within the world of the show. And even though Lucas thinks the show has a "lack of risk," he still loves everyone involved.

“I love the show. It started everything for me. I love the show and the people in it," he says. "With saying that, I feel like I am not being nice or grateful, but when you love something you want it to be…you want the best version of it. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been frustrated with the direction by character is taking. But we’ll see where it goes. The show is not over.”

Just like the show's iconic costumes are all about expression and fun, here's hoping Emily in Paris is able to bring some life back into our favorite chef. Because if not, it sounds like we could be nearing the end of the show's most popular would-they-won't-they relationship. Fix this Netflix, I beg you!

What do you think of Lucas Bravo's dilemma? Do you miss season 1 Gabriel? Let us know in the comments and check out the latest Emily in Paris season 5 news.

The Coconut Mama on Instagram: "Love making bath bombs? This simple bath bomb recipe comes together quickly with natural ingredients that you can find at the health food store! INGREDIENTS: 2 cups baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) 1 cup non-gmo verified citric acid 1 tablespoon coconut milk powder, milk powder, or white cosmetic clay 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (other oils like almond oil or olive oil are a great alternative to coconut oil) 20 drops essential oils (I used lavender) 1 oz. organic witch hazel extract (in a small spray bottle) INSTRUCTIONS: Stir the baking soda, citric acid, and coconut milk powder together in a large mixing bowl. Use your fingers to squeeze out any clumps out of the dry mixture. In a separate small bowl, mix the coconut oil with the essential oil. Drizzle the liquid mixture into the combined dry ingredients while stirring with a whisk. Break up any remaining clumps with your hands and make sure the mixture is completely incorporated. The mixture will have a similar consistency of wet sand. Squeeze a portion of the mixture into a ball shape with your hands. If it crumbles, spray 3-5 spritzes of witch hazel into the mixture while stirring, then check again. When the mixture holds together easily without crumbling, it’s ready. Fill your silicone molds with the mixture, pressing firmly as you pack it in. Turn out the bath bomb from the measuring cup or molds onto a sheet of wax or parchment paper. If the bath bombs fall apart, pack them back into the mold and leave them in the mold for 3-5 minutes to set. Then turn them out onto the parchment paper. Allow the bath bombs to air-dry for several hours, then wrap in airtight packaging. You can use plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container."

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie created reality TV gold when The Simple Life debuted in 2003. Their antics were outlandish, but we couldn't help repeating their iconic phrases like "That's hot" or "Sanasa" during random moments in our own lives.

It's no secret the two didn't really act that way, but their 'characters' left a huge mark on a generation of millennials. "I knew what I was doing but the whole world didn’t, so it was kind of frustrating to me to be perceived in that way because it’s not who I am at all," Paris told People.

Even though she may have felt judged, it seems that Paris Hilton realizes how many people actually loved The Simple Life because she and Nicole Richie are teaming up to film a reunion special that'll debut on Peacock as we speak! Here's everything we know so far!

When did speculations about 'The Simple Life' reboot begin?

NBCUniversal Media

Peacock first shared a video clip on Instagram that hinted something special involving Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie is coming in May. A nostalgic TV set with a black and white screen can be seen while our favorite duo's voices can be hearing saying, "Sanasa, Sanasa."

Peacock captioned the post, "New Era. Same Besties. Coming soon to Peacock," and fans could barely contain their excitement. Even celebs like Naomi Campbell and Katy Perry commented on these hot vibes.

Bravo

Then Paris Hilton took to her own Instagram to share more about what fans could expect. She said, "As some of you may know, we are doing a reunion special to celebrate 20 years of our show The Simple Life and it's been so much fun."

Actress Selma Blair shared how much she's looking forward to this by commenting that she's "living for this."

So are we!

What was 'The Simple Life' about?

The Simple Life/20th Century Fox

The Simple Life showed Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as they basically traded their wealthy lifestyles for 'everyday' living. Cameras followed them from fast food jobs to dealing with getting out of sticky situations they'd supposedly never experienced. Needless to say, it was hilarious, iconic, and instant reality TV gold.

How long was 'The Simple Life' on air?

Peter Kramer/Getty Images

The Simple Life was on air from 2003 to 2007 with five successful seasons. It seemed like it wasn't going to be hit at first, but it defied expectations. By how much you ask?

According to reporting from The Cut, somewhere around 13 million viewers tuned in to watch Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's oddball take on daily life. That's a pretty huge deal if you ask us!

When will 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore' debut?

Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images

Paris & Nicole: The Encore will premiere on Peacock December 12! The two were previously seen at a Sonic drive-thru yesterday so it can be assumed filming is underway (via People)!

Sporting partial Sonic uniforms, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie added accent pieces that match their signature flairs. Paris wore a pair of reflective sunglasses, silver sequin heels, and added a pink flip phone to front of her blue apron. Nicole wore gold hoops and a pair of slingback pumps alongside her hotdog mascot costume. That's hot (dog).

How does Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie feel about reuniting for a reunion special?

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Paris Hilton has expressed how much she loves to be sharing the screen with Nicole Richie again. "I'm so excited to be doing this with Nicole on Peacock. Nicole has been my best friend since we're 2 years old, every memory that I have is with her," (via E! News).

Nicole also posted a few throwback moments from The Simple Life on her Instagram, but the most notable one is the video mashup of them singing "Sanasa, Sanasa" over and over. "20 years ago, not only did we become television stars… we became song writers. Happy Anniversary Sill @parishilton#TheSimpleLife#sannnasaaaaa" she wrote in the caption.

What have Paris and Nicole said about their reunion special?

Peacock

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie sat down with W Magazine to let the world know the Paris & Nicole: The Encore show is on its way! Not only that, but fans can expect to see an Opera version of the show they fell in love with two decades ago. Paris said, "The idea of the opera was unexpected" while Nicole chimed in with, "What people need, even though they don't know it yet, is for 'Sanasa' to be an opera.'"

The two besties came up with the idea via a series of texts that started off as ideas between them. Nicole said everything "came up organically" for the two and we can only imagine the memories this brought up for them. OG influencer Paris even talked about how The Simple Life was an "important show in pop culture history" and we couldn't agree more!

Nicole truly wants people to enjoy themselves while watching Paris & Nicole: The Encore and "find the same joy" she had while filming it. According to Paris, she feels what they have is "magic" because "there's just so much history behind it."

It's not every day that you can get to have fun with your best friend while coming up with long-lasting memories that contribute to pop culture, but Paris and Nicole have always danced to the beat of their own drums. Now we'll get to see them in action again!
