Just some of my Lush favorites. My top three are Soft Coeur (The Honeymooners), Shimmy Shimmy, and Glitterbug. Please see past massage bar reviews. *Photocredit: Lush Cosmetics
London Accessorize Haul
One night after a nice dinner at The Platform Bar & Restaurant in London (which I highly recommend), my husband and I walked across to admire the beautiful view at the promenade. Unexpected to me, sandwiched in-between was a large shopping arcade. I peeked into the store’s windows wishing the shops were still open (Boots, …
Lush Review: Cheer Up! Bath Cocktail
After a disappointing end result of Project Runway: Season 9 (and the elimination of my favored designer, Fallene Wells), I decided a Lush bath cocktail was in order though it was very late. I’ve had the ingredients laid out since before vacation and boy did my feet need a good pumice scrub (which I saved …
My London Cosmetic Haul
Before venturing to the United Kingdom, I fantasized about what cosmetic brands I wanted to buy. Besides learning about a country or culture through its food & drink, I learn via its cosmetics. The obvious choices were brands that were not readily available in the U.S. I had narrowed the list down to Sleek, Gosh, …
Threadless
I was watching Project Runway: Season 9 the other night and quickly went nuts over Fallene Well’s pajama tee (which she used to complete her first runway project). I did a quick Google search and discovered it’s “The Morning After” by Paul Southworth. It’s an image that I find both disgusting and madly cute at …
Desparately Seeking… Baylis & Harding
I instantly fell in love with Baylis & Harding‘s Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Hand Wash and Lotion during our stay in The Churchill Arms, Cotswolds England. Upon our return to London, my husband patiently endured a long yet fruitless search for this brand. None to be found at Boots, Superdrugs, John Lewis, Debenhams (except Moonlight …
On Holiday with Vera Bradley’s Grand Traveler & Weekender
Recently my husband and I traveled to England and Wales. I brought my Vera Bradley Viva La Vera Weekender as my carry-on and really loved this bag for its generous pockets and ease of carrying. It kept all my belongings well organized and nicely accessible; with the added plus of being made with cheery patterned, …
Lush Review: Ceylon Tea Bath Cocktail
A bubbly, frothy melon-colored bath. This was a belated birthday treat to myself. I was occupied in a good way with celebrations with family and the completion of a school course. I didn’t get a chance to enjoy this bath cocktail until yesterday. 1 Luverly Bath Ballistic: A mild floral. My first guess was chamomile; …
Handbag Phenom: Onna Ehrlich
I’m lusting over Onna Ehrlich’s Francoise Croco Bowler and Dawn Croco handbags! They are so gorgeous, roomy, and look well-made! Simple design- I love that because some handbags are wayyy overly designed… ugh… I’ve only seen these two particular bag styles offered no more than once or twice in sample sales. Both times I missed …
Kate Spade: Just a Few Handbags I’ve Been Loving!
Do you remember the Kate Spade Sam? The “it” bag of 2000? It was a classic minimalistic (I mean this in a good way) handbag which was quite cute. I bought it in black and a deep silvery-grey (eventually we parted ways via eBay). My qualm about the Sam was that it was too bulky …
