The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 21 May 2019 14 Comments

I am still lemming that darned Salta candle and here is another limited edition I could live with: the Cire candle. "The Cire scented candle is an olfactory representation of the manufacture: symbolic, it blends emanations of warm wax and perfumes being crafted. Reinterpreting Cire Trudon’s fundamental values - ancient savoir-faire and commitment to excellence - the scented candle reveals a unique perfume: behind the amber-colored glass, a beeswax absolute. Bees and beeswax have always been at the heart of the manufacture’s History: since the 17th century, Cire Trudon’s motto is “Deo regique laborant”, which means: “they (the bees) work for God and the King”. 2019 marks a turning point for the Maison, as Cire Trudon decided to financially help the Orne Dark Bee Conservatory, with the partnership of the Perche Nature Park. 4 percent of all sales of the Maison’s Cire candle will go toward the saving of Orne Dark Bees." $125.

Reminder: 5/24 is Bob Dylan’s birthday…

Chilli Mango & Tonka Bean Body Butter from Being by Sanctuary Spa: "Unleash a mouth-watering cocktail of exotic, plump mangoes sprinkled with a cheeky kick of warm spice. Jam-packed with cocoa and shea butter and drizzled with mango seed oil our utterly brilliant butter leaves skin feeling deliciously moisturised for 24 hours and smelling good enough to eat." $13.30 for 300 ml at FeelUnique. (And if you just like the fun graphic design, there's a matching cosmetic bag.)
