The daily lemming

Demeter Paperback

A cheap thrill for Library Month: a 15 ml splash mini of Demeter Paperback is $6. "A trip to your favorite library or used bookstore. Sweet and lovely with just a touch of the musty smell of aged paper, Demeter's Paperback harnesses that scent with a sprinkling of violets and a dash of tasteful potpourri."

It's been eons since I've tried a product from Herbal Essences. This looks like a contender: "Herbal Essences Moisture Rosemary & Herbs Foam Conditioner is specifically crafted with naturally inspired ingredients to moisturize hair without leaving strands weighed down [...] Whipped with our signature bio:renew blend of antioxidants, aloe and sea kelp." Also available in Blue Ginger,White Grapefruit & Mosa Mint, and Cucumber & Green Tea, about $6.99 each.

And the masculine counterpart to yesterday: Method Men's Body Wash, shown in Juniper + Sage and Cedar + Cypress, and also available in Sea + Surf. "Our men's body wash can handle your dirty sides. Each naturally derived formula lathers quickly, rinses clean and leaves you smelling fresh. because life is complicated enough, showering doesn't have to be." A dollar less than the women's — what's with that? — at about $6 for 532 ml, at Target.
