The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 16 September 2020 7 Comments

Oh please, hold the holiday stuff until November, yes? But if you must know, The Body Shop is doing three holiday edition fragrances this year. Warm Vanilla is a repeat, then you've got Festive Berry (with cranberry) and my (possibly, unsniffed) pick, Winter Jasmine, available in just about any body product you might think of, and described as a "fresh, crisp and white" floral.

(And I did not do an exhaustive search, other stores might have these.)

This nice couple put together a 4 minute video covering many of the Christmas window and light displays in New York. If you are impatient, you can skip the first 25 seconds and get right to the decorations.

Then below the jump (yes, hidden away from all you UK folks who have probably seen it a million times already) this year’s John Lewis & Partners + Waitrose & Partners holiday advert. No Elton John this year, but it gave me an ear worm anyway.

Below that, a “behind the windows” video from Liberty London.
