The back-from-hiatus lemming

Posted by Robin on 29 September 2026 2 Comments

Two things I picked up from Lush yesterday, along with a small size of the reissued Mango Lassi shower gel: Banana Shampoo ("We blend over 45% sea salt with fresh banana and sugar cane molasses to make a smoothie for your locks and add softening oils to support tensile strength and shine"; 2 sizes $13.50 - $27; smells fantastic in the tub but I was not as impressed with the smell of the matching conditioner so passed on that) and Chocolate Orange Shower Gel ("This smashing citrus blend of zesty orange, rich vanilla and scrumptious cocoa absolute might just be too good to share … but that’s alright, we won’t tell if you don’t"; 3 sizes $12.50 - $40; likewise smells great in the bottle but maybe heavier on the orange than the chocolate, I will see if I have to mix with Posh Chocolate to get the right proportions).

I have not worn perfume in over a month now, but I’m planning to pick one from what ya’ll are wearing. I will report in the comments. Tea at the moment is Burnside Chai from The Jasmine Pearl Tea Co. 

Reminder: Personal matters are still taking up much of my time…
