Bubble bath recommendations

My son loves bubble bath (who doesn't?) but he keeps going after my expensive and hard to obtain baby soap. I want to get him something that he can play with. so cheap with the most bubbles for my bucks. I also want to know what you use for self care days. Best smells, skin feel, maximum bubbles.

    Have you considered making bubble bath? Some recipes I've seen online indicate natural dish soap or baby shampoo and glycerin to make bubble bath. One of my female friends only uses Pidgeon brand baby soap to cleanse her face. It's available at some pharmacies but not everywhere. When I don't have time to go to onsen, I run a bath with yuzu or hinoki bath tablets. Way cheaper than Lush, and I love the fragrance wafting about the house.

    Not much help about bubble bath recommendations, my two are obsessed with the bath bombs that have small toys inside so we occasionally pick some up at Daiso. As for my own self care, I love bath bombs and bubble bars from Lush but I do think they're a bit of a splurge item. I usually break the bubble bars up into several pieces to get the most value from them, but scent wise I think they are better than any other products out there!

    I'm not sure about bubbly baths but on my self care days I like to use the onsen style bath powder (probably available in many drug stores.

Japan features that would be a bug in your country? And the opposite?

What features in Japan's culture would be considered a bug in your home country? Or the other way around - an aspect of daily life in your home country that wouldn't fly here in Japan? I've got one. In Japan, many sliding doors in industrial and institutional buildings are designed to make noise. The rattle indicates comings and goings. I worked in institutional buildings in Canada with silent doors and soft closing mechanisms.

Reflections on our home countries after living in Japan

I think one thing living in Japan has given me is an appreciation of things my country does really well, and things it doesn't do so well in comparison to here. For instance, I think Australia is great with annual leave entitlements. You get four weeks automatically (some workplaces offer even more!) and there's not any guilt associated with taking it. Something we don't do so well is public transport. I know that Australia is a massive country, but there has been talk of creating a high speed rail option from Melbourne to Sydney for ages, and nothing has ever come of it. It's basically an 8 hour drive or flying. Also, inner city trains are regularly not on time. What are the things you think your home country does better or worse than Japan?

Hair Color Treatments for Greying Hair

For those of you who have colored grey hair, I'm curious about the hair color treatments available in most drugstores. They seem simpler to use than box dyes. It's been many years since I've colored my hair. It's a chestnut brown and my grey is more silver. I don't hate it but the grey is dry and making me feel like I look older than I am. I'm especially interested in the natural brands that are non-permanent. For example Rishiri Kombu sounds like a decent option. Looking forward to your recommendations and experience.
