The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 14 August 2017 9 Comments

Illume acorn candle

We're transitioning into fall on the beauty counters already. If you need to get in the mood, here's Illume's new acorn candle: "A charming ceramic jar shaped like a plump acorn—complete with shining coppertone lid—is filled with a soy-wax candle infused with the woody, aromatic scents of chestnuts, cinnamon and coconut." (There's also a pumpkin and  a cider apple.) $26.99 at Nordstrom.

    I am not often easily swayed, but this WILL be my (small) housewarming gift to myself – when we find a house. Thanks for including it!

    Oh, acorns are so cute. I already have a couple of acorn candle holders, so I should be able to resist this one.

    Fall at the beauty counters and Halloween in the candy section. It is just plain wrong for Halloween stuff to be out already when it is still 80 degrees out

        They really should make Back-to-School themed Peeps.

      I agree about the silliness of Halloween this early. But I think fall clothes etc have been out in July, and certainly in August since I was a girl (and that was long ago! ).

      Back to school peeps are a great idea!!
