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.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
