The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 15 May 2025 Leave a Comment

Cupcake-scented Hello Kitty plushies? You either need them or you don't. "This Cupcake-Scented Reversible Plushie is a stuffed toy with two different faces that allows you to express your emotions effortlessly—it's like having two plushies in one! These 4” tall plushies are perfect for showing how you feel at school, home, or the office, plus they’re soft and cuddly!" $8 at TeeTurtle.

Whatever pungent blend of powder and flowers your grandma smelled like back in the day

So, I want you to forget whatever pungent blend of powder and flowers your grandma smelled like back in the day and instead have an open mind for today's modern floral fragrances.

A lemming for (serious) fans of Carolina Herrera Good Girl: the Good Girl Superluxe Swarovski Collector’s Edition. "This luxurious interpretation of our signature stiletto is adorned with over 2000 hand-applied Swarovski crystals in shimmering hues of sapphire, aquamarine and gold. Each handcrafted bottle is presented in an elegant blue octagonal case, lined in satin." 50 were made; $10,000 (yes, I double checked).

I might just need one: the Mac and Cheese candle from Southlake Gifts. "The Macaroni and Cheese Candle Bowl is perfect for those with carb cravings without finding the perfect recipe. This handmade macaroni and cheese candle comes in a porcelain bowl and smells just like the real thing. Take it home and wake up feeling cheesy!" $20 for 160g at Nordstrom.

The “transformative” blend

Posted by Robin on 4 December 2024 Leave a Comment

The "transformative" blend, it added, includes notes of cedarwood and patchouli, "so every spritz takes you back to that well-loved bar top," and tobacco and leather, which are meant to evoke "the comforting musk of worn-in barstools." There are also notes of champaca blossom for "that crisp, refreshing aroma when the bartender cracks open The Champagne of Beers" and a little whisper of sea salt, "like the basket of fries you look forward to at the end of the night."
