The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 18 September 2020 8 Comments

Apricot / Mango / Rice Milk shower gel from Nivea? Sure, why not. $11.50 for 300 ml at Smallflower, and also available in Watermelon / Mint / Coconut Milk and Raspberry / Blueberry / Almond Milk. (And if anyone has tried these, do comment!)

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. Out in the UK already, presumably it will be in the US soon enough.

Are you ready for solid dish soap? (I'm not sure I am.) "Ecological & zero plastic waste Andrée Jardin presents their green Sage Basil Solid Dish washing soap With Marseille soap made from organic olive oil, vinegar and natural scents, it deeply cleans and degreases dishes, while being gentle on the skin. Its high content of vegetable raw materials makes it a product that does not leave chemical residues on the dishes. Rub a damp sponge or brush directly on the solid soap bar to create a lather and scrub away at your glassware and dishes." $13.50 for 250g at Hampton Court, where they also have it in Pink Grapefruit or Lemon Mint.

Another Chanel Maisons d’art coffret, in case you missed the last one. 50 ml of Beige, in Extrait, in a Baccarat bottle which you can keep safe in the fancy box done up by feather and floral specialists Maison Lemarié. 25 were made, €10,000. (via luxepackaginginsight)

I don't think I used to think of linden as calming, particularly, but lately I find Astier de Villatte Grand Chalet just that. ("It was here, in this unique landscape with its healing climate, that the painter Balthus made his home, enchanted by the fragrances of milk, honey and hints of citrus from the ancient lime trees that surrounded his studio.") If I had more money to invest in calm, I'd consider the ceramic candle ($140 at Sue Fisher King, or you can get the glass version for $85) and as long as I was investing so much in calm, I might as well throw in the kitty lid, $100).
