Went into Lush Cosmetics this lunchtime to buy something for my friend Sylvia, just because. Girl in there very nice, a bit pushy, but nonetheless they're all very well trained, which is good to know. They actually come across as interested in what you're doing. Anyway, Sylvia is one of these types who uses bath bombs as room fresheners, so I bought her four (one of which is blackberry, and absolutely edible; smells like blackcurrant jelly). They then wrapped them up really nicely in a scarf, so I plan to get a bit of bamboo or something and stick it through the scarf to pretend that I'm making like Dick Whittington and leaving home. So anyway brought the whole shebang back to work and it's been sitting by my chair for about 2 hours now.

And I have the headache from hell. GAWD, those things are strong. They can sit just inside the flat door (which fortunately is downstairs from the actual flat) until Sunday morning when I go and see her, otherwise I may possibly throw myself out of the window just to get away.

Nice shop. Expensive, but nice. And use very, very sparingly.

LOL! I know what you mean. I love their bubble bars -- the ones that don't smell strongly. I usually buy online from them as I tend to get a sick headache after about one minute in one of their stores. I think their employees should get hazard pay from having to smell all that stuff!

That's a really cool present.

It always smells weirdly chemical to me, even though I know they're passionate about using only natural ingredients. I think part of it is that it's just so sweet. I managed to get one sandalwood and one lemon as well as the blackcurrant, so they're all pretty sharp, but other than that - it's all a bit cloying. Can you imagine sitting next to an employee on a hot bus when they're on their way home??

I know! The stronger the scent, the more chemical it smells. I stick to the hot milk and ma bar bubble bars. They're both very mild. I let myself buy a couple of each every year. Online that is :-)

There should be a disinfection chamber at each of the stores for the employees to go through at the end of their shifts!
