The (almost) daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 November 2020 4 Comments

Want! From Orla Kiely, shaped wax candles in fig and cedar (the green dog); grapefruit and basil (the yellow hen); and rose, geranium and eucalyptus (the pink snail, not shown). £26 each for 275g, or you can get the dog and hen snail in a gift set for £26. At John Lewis in the UK, or AllBeauty has them for $27 and free US delivery.

If you're a fan of candles in pretty ceramic containers (with lids!), do check out L'Or de Seraphine, a new-ish brand (they debuted in 2019). Shown is my favorite design (I have not smelled any of them, but do comment if you have), No 7 Whitby. "Infused with essential oils, and featuring notes of sea salt, violets, and vetiver, No. 07 is soothing, uplifting and full of joy." Available in small (75g, mostly seeing these in sets of 3), medium (181g) and large (481g), $18-40, in a variety of places including Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Candles Off Main or the L'Or de Seraphine website. Candle Delirium has the holiday gift set, 3 small candles for $38 (and they currently have a 15% off Black Friday gift code).

Psychic Sisters Wish Aura aromatherapy mist with geranium and clementine: "Spritz around your Aura and chant the Affirmation ten times "My dreams & wishes have come true” to bring instant ease and peace of mind". 50 ml (almost certainly not enough to encompass all my dreams and wishes, plus why don't the psychic sisters already know what my dreams and wishes are?) for £20 at Selfridges.

DS & Durga teams up with Johnnie Walker for a limited edition candle: "This fragrant candle features notes of the finest whiskey, coastal highland air, rarest oak, reindeer moss and a touch of island peat." $70 at Nordstrom.

Play-Doh's Grown Up Scents pack is back in stock at Amazon, but it does not look like they'd be delivered before December, so be warned. Anyway, six 113g tubs of Play-Doh, in Overpriced Latte (coffee); Mom Jeans (clean denim); Grill King (smoked meats); Dad Sneakers (rubber); Spa Day (floral); and Lord of the Lawn (fresh cut grass). $12.
