Well.

Ain't posted today.

Cause I ain't got much to say.

Gots me a case of the blahs.

Heh.

I just opened my work email, and there was spam in there from Hotmail.

But look.

It's Ando.



Also, I bought a pair of jeans. And a pair of slacks. Black for both. It is so hard to find jeans that are wider than they are long.

Heh.

Oh this is neat.

http://maps.google.com/ has a feature where you can click "street view" and you can see the street as if you were actually on it. You can drag it around in circles too.

I just spent entirely too long "wandering" around Manhattan.

So.

I went to Mecca Lush tonight. DRAGGED Jared's ass along :)

I picked up LUSH Pud for Val and a sample of Gold, Frankincense and Beer (okay, I got one for me too). Unfortulately, they didn't have BB there, since they only opened Wednesday. :(

I, by the way, am DONE ordering LUSH online. Instant gratification is the WAAAY for me!!!

I got the smallest bottle of Tramp. This smells like it was *made* for me.

I also got my first bubble bar, Karma, since I am in love with the smell. I figure it's a good place to start.

Also, I asked the girl, Evelyn or something (she was very helpful) about how to most effectively cut a bath bomb in half, and she leaned in and said "Just drop it on the floor. Hard. We're always dropping them and breaking them" heheheh :D

I got another bar of Honey I Washed the Kids because I totally adore it. There's just something about the scent of this soap that makes me SO friggin happy.

Then I got samples. OH HOW I GOT SAMPLES. Going to the store was awesome. They can totally justify charging what they do for their all natural shit because the samples they give are bigger than the free nasty shit you get in a goddamned hotel.

First sample is Extra Virgin Olive Oil which just sounds like fun. The scent is mellow and pleasant. I think it's going to be awesome on my skin. :)

Second sample is Sexy Peel. It smells like pure lemon peels. SUPER Pledgie. But oddly intriguing.

Third sample is Mud Flats. I'm actually going to try this on my face. I've been avoiding Lush on my face cause they all seem to hate it, but people rave about it. So here's to praying.

And of course I have my own sample of Gold, Frankincense and Beer.

Very nifty. I am totally loving having a store less than 15 minutes from me.

<3

Heh.

I'm a fiend.

I just took a shower. I *had* to try Tramp.

Oh, and Mud Flats, but I didn't really need a shower for that.

Tramp is definitely not for everyone. Not to mention it's weird and thick and green. But WHOA is it potent. I put some Happy Soap on my body poof, and then some of the Tramp. Delicious. Absolutely musky and patchouli and fresh. So delicious. I adore this combo. ADORE IT!!! Like, love it so fucking much.

Onto Mud Flats. Now, I've pretty much sworn off using Lush on my face at this point due to the horrible condition of my skin. Everything seems to dry it out worse than ever. Everyone's like "Oh, try Coalface! Oh, try Fresh Farmacy!" and none of them work. They make it feel dry and bleedie and cracking and tight.

That being said, Mud Flats so far is pretty neat. It's so creamy and moisturizing, that when I started lathering it up, I thought maybe it was a massage bar or something. When I used it on my face, it felt creamy and cleansing. So. Who knows.

So far, so good. I give it 3 days before my face cracks open. It's already kind of bad right now, thank you period, but we'll see.

So, talking to the girls at the store, I found out why Gorgeous costs $80 for 1.5oz. Apparently it's Princess Diana's moisturizer. Some Japanese company made it, and packaged it all fancy like, and sold it for $200 for 1.5oz. Lush actually bought the recipe, took all the synthetic ingredients and used their natural counterparts, and low and behold. Enter Gorgeous. Expensive, but the reviews on it are stellar. When I win the lotto? I'm all over that. OH YES.

*dies*
