My thoughts: What can I say about Lava Lamps? I LOVE THEM! I have owned several different ones throughout my lifetime. I have always counted on my Lava Lamps to brighten up my life! They are very cheerful and colorful as well as very soothing. Whenever I had sleepless nights ‘worrying about boys or just the stresses of life throughout my tumultuous teen year, my Lava Lamp was there to soothe me. Just watching the mesmerizing flow of action that goes on in a Lava Lamp made me feel serenity and peace.
My children love them, too. There is always a Lava Lamp illuminating one ore more rooms every night in my household.
