The daily lemming
A lemming for Teapot Tuesday: fresh marshmallows from Mariage Frères, flavored with Marco Polo tea and dark chocolate. The pack of 8 marshmallows is €8.90, I'll take 2, plus a pack of the Au thé Habibi (in hot pink, with litchi, rose and orange blossom) and another of the Matcha & Yuzu (in lime green, with lime, yuzu and matcha).
The daily lemming
From French artisanal chocolate company Maison Bonange, the Noir 70% Bio & Géranium bar: "The Porcelain Trianon was designed by Louis le Vau for the Sun King and included beds of rare and fragrant flowers. One can imagine that geranium flowers, very fashionable at that time, lined the paths of the gardens. In memory of this sumptuous building that disappeared in 1687, Maison Bonange offers you a tablet in which floral flavors are superimposed on the delicacy of a powerful and generous chocolate." 80g for $7 at Beautyhabit.
It would be so elegant
A Plume of Blooms doesn’t break ground as a beauty product, but as a food topping, it belongs in Jo Malone’s diet. Of the three, Meyer called this one his favorite, comparing the sophisticated yellow-white bouquet of petals—including jasmine, honeysuckle, and ylang-ylang—to shaving truffles on pasta, then recommended buyers try a spritz on a mozzarella tomato salad. “It would be so elegant,” he said. “It uses this incredible jasmine absolute. I don’t think there’s anything like it even in the perfume market.”

The daily lemming
I am not prepared to spend $15 for the opportunity, but I would sure like to try one (or maybe two) of the Medjool Dates, Pecans, Himalayan Salt Bars from Spring & Mulberry ("Crunchy, chewy, salty, and sweet, this bar brings together buttery, slow-roasted pecans and caramelly Medjool dates for a toothsome mix that’s hard to stop munching.").
