Look out for the UPS man!
Because he’s bringing you a present!
Here’s what’s in the box:
1 embosser
1 half-full L’Artisan Fleur d’Liane perfume sample (fleur d’liane means forest flower, and I’m not feeling this one as much as the tuberose, maybe because I have spent quite a bit of time in the forest and do not recall smelling anything remotely like this fragrance)
from left to right: angels on bare skin face scrub, curly wurly shampoo for curly hair, vanilla fountain bath bomb, godiva solid conditioning shampoo, wiccy magic massage bar (also great to use as a general moisturizer), jungle solid conditioner, fresh farmacy face soap, honey I washed the kids soap, mudflats soap, and sea vegetable soap.
Out of all the Lush products I have tried, my absolute favorites are the Angles On Bare Skin facial scrub and the Godiva solid shampoo. This is one reason I haven’t done any other beauty product reviews, because I am so completely satisfied with my current regime, which is pretty rare. I have spent a considerable amount of time and effort looking for healthy beauty products that work, and so far, Lush has been the absolute best, hands down. Everything is made with sustainable, ethically-sourced, natural ingredients, so there are no parabens, synthetic fragrances, colors, or other harmful chemicals. Most products are very minimally packaged, and the packaging that is used is 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. They don’t test on animals, they donate a high percentage of profits to charity, they have corporate Environmental Officers…I could go on, but the most important thing is, the products actually work really well. Enjoy!

Ma, and 
…that Marc Jacobs is playing an evil joke on us all this season.
I thought since we were talking about personal style last week, I’d post my “idea wall.” I don’t know how it got that name, it started as a Cirque du Soliel calendar that had a kind of creepy picture one month, so I started clipping pictures of clothes and shoes I liked on top of it. Now I change the page each month, and it is always interesting to see what items make the cut from one month to the next. Some things get tossed at the end of the month, and I am glad I didn’t jump on that trend, and when something lasts for a few months, often I buy it (or something very similar.) Like those studded ballet flats from capezio (top right) have been up there for a long time….I hope soon they will be on my feet!
And finally, I just bought these jeans! They were on special at Nordstrom’s although still quite pricey. I have been trying on various brands of skinny jeans, and they all make me look like I have the legs of a supermodel…just compressed, so they are disproportionately shorter and thicker. Then I accidentally tried on a pair that was “ankle-length” and viola! they fit. I am unconditionally against ankle-length pants, no matter how trendy they become, because the last thing I need to do is visually chop off even a few precious inches of my leg…but apparently, my leg ends where the average jeans-model’s ankle starts.
Okay, I love converse, and I love a high heel…but please oh please, not at the

Oh my gosh, I’m totally stumped. Thats alot of stuff Emily! I’m going to be smelling so good. Oh UPS man, where are you?!

well, it’s all sample size, they’re smaller than they look in the pics. And most of it was either chopped off the full-size products I currently use, or donated by the girls at the Lush store who were all too happy to help me convert you!
p.s. I forgot one, too, there’s another face scrub called Black Angles, which is similar to the Angels on Bare Skin but with coal in it, for when your skin is feeling oily.
