The daily lemming
Ah, a little something for snack time. Aftelier's new Ginger Rose chocolate bar in collaboration with Areté Fine Chocolate. "We collaborated with renowned artisan perfumer Mandy Aftel to create this special bar. A divine marriage of our Belize Maya Mountain Chocolate and her 100% natural Turkish Rose and Indonesian Ginger Chef’s Essences. We spent almost four months working together to get the balance just right, and if you’re a fan of ginger we think you’ll agree that this bar is as close to perfection as you could hope to get." $15 at Aftelier.

The daily lemming
Aftelier has several new natural skincare items to tempt you this holiday. Shown is Geranium Cleansing Oil ("...a nourishing oil cleanser that can be rinsed off with warm water. Wild-harvested geranium essential oil was the best choice for the scent, with its gorgeous fresh, green, rosy aroma, and known for enhancing skin repair, reducing inflammation, superior toning, and anti-bacterial properties"; 33 ml for $35), and you might also consider Lavender Face Elixir ("Our lightweight face elixir is immediately absorbed softening and conditioning your skin. Use on your clean face before bed, and drift off to sleep in a light veil of fragrance that promotes relaxation. When you wake up, your skin will feel wonderfully nourished and revitalized."; 20 ml for $70). The one I really want was already in the mix and I've possibly included in a daily lemming already: Jasmine Face Elixir ("This delightful jasmine aroma is uplifting and relaxing. Drifting off to sleep inhaling this gorgeous aroma makes you feel as if all is right in the world"; 20 ml for $70).
