The daily lemming

Method's Fresh Pineapple Gel Hand Wash (which I have never smelled, do comment if you have!) in a limited edition design by Cedric Johnson of Creative Growth ("...a non-profit arts center for adults with disabilities, continues to flourish and bring much-deserved recognition to this incredible community of artists. for our next chapter with Creative Growth, we’ve paired four new pieces of artwork with four new limited edition fragrances. we hope this art collection inspires you as much as the artists inspire us.") is $3.49.

Seduced — almost — once again by the combination of cute old-school packaging and a reasonable price. Panier Des Sens Rose Geranium Eau de Toilette: "Heady and tangy, the leaf of the Mediterranean flower joyfully expresses light and luminous top notes. Geranium absolute harmonizes with the delicate freshness of notes of rose and peony, sublimated on a background of enticing and bewitching hints of white musk. An intense powdery floral sillage married to the green facet of geranium." $35 for 50 ml, also available in Orange Blossom and Precious Jasmine, at Beautyhabit. There is also a Rose Geranium travel set at the Panier des Sens website, with 50 ml each of Shower gel and Body lotion, plus a 30 ml Hand cream and a 3.5 ml sample of the Eau de Toilette, in a travel pouch decorated much like the canister shown above, on mark down for $16.10.

Made with 95% natural ingredients, this Proraso product imparts the warm and refreshing notes of cypress, vetiver, amber and cedar." $10 for 6 packets at Dermstore.

Another reasonably priced cleaning product I have not tried (please comment if you have): Citrus & Basil All Purpose Cleaner from Everspring. "We believe a cleaner home begins with Everspring All Purpose Cleaner. It is biobased and cuts grease and grime on multiple surfaces without ammonia or harsh fumes. Made without parabens and naturally fragranced with plant extracts and essential oils, this biodegradable formula is non-toxic to humans when used as directed and never tested on animals. Our products are made with you, your home and family in mind." $2.99 at Target. (And Target apparently owns the brand, you can read more about it here.)

I didn't even notice that (reasonably priced) hair and body care brand Love Beauty and Planet has a home line now — Love Home and Planet, of course. Shown are two of the items in the Citrus Yuzu + Vanilla line, the dish liquid ($3.99) and the cleaner spray ($3.99), both available at Target. Other items: cleaning wipes, dishwasher cubes. The brand also has laundry products, but not in this scent.
