The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 2 January 2019 13 Comments

I have a bit of a weakness for scented hand creams. I buy too many, and then I tend to get more as presents. At the moment, sitting at my desk, there are a total of 11 hand creams within easy reach (yes, I'm sorry I counted). So I won't be buying these cute little tubes from Sephora, and unless you are fresh out of hand cream, you don't need the Almond Hand Balm either (above left; "Pamper your hands with Sephora Collection hand balms. The smooth formulas nourish and take care of your hands every day, without leaving your skin feeling oily or sticky."; also available in Rose and Coconut; $5 for 30 ml). I have no need for Honey Hand Polish (above right; "With gentle and exfoliating sugar particles, the honey hand scrub blurs imperfections and smooths the skin."; $5 for 30 ml) and I am dubious as to whether anybody does, but what do I know.

The daily lemming

A new year, a new lemming from Diptyque. "Two singular rose scents in candles that can be lit together or separately. Individually, each candle releases its own singular scent. Together, they complement each other as the refreshing, delicate fragrance of one mingles with the luxurious, honeyed notes of the other." Damascena and Centifolia are available in 70g mini ($36) or 190g full size ($72), at Nordstrom.
