The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 29 January 2019 Leave a Comment

Yeah, I just want the Year of the Pig tin. Harney's 2019 Lunar New Year tea: "A delicate aromatic blend of oolong tea with a punch of bright ginger root and fresh, fruity flavors of lychee and lemon." $10 at Harney & Sons.

A lemming for Caturday? No, they're not scented, but if you are needing to lie down with gel packs on your eyes might I recommend a little spritz of Tam Dao first? Or maybe a light layer of Ancient Resins? Anyway, "Our unique gel eye masks are purr-fect for catnaps. Use the two individual little kitty faces heated or frozen to relieve tired and puffy eyes. They'll help you look refreshed and ready to seize the day". $3.99 at World Market.

From Sanrio, a Cinnamoroll ("white puppy with long ears, blue eyes, pink cheeks, and a plump and curly tail that resembles a cinnamon roll") easy-erasing eraser that smells like cinnamon, or possibly cinnamon coffee, it's hard to say for sure without buying one. "How adorable! This little Cinnamoroll eraser is shaped like a carton. The eraser extended beyond the bottom for easy erasing and will definitely bring a smile to your face. Making mistakes might actually be a little bit more fun now to correct!" $3 at Sanrio, where you can also find a Cinnamoroll Macaron Lip Balm for $8 or a Cinnamoroll Bath Bomb for $10.

Someone suggested perfume

As he said this, I was again sniffing the fourth pour. I couldn’t nail the scent. It was very familiar, musky, sort of floral, I mused out loud. Someone suggested perfume. And then it clicked. I was smelling my great-grandmother’s apartment — the tray of perfume bottles she had that I used to play with when I was a kid.

— From A beginner's guide to whiskey: How to get into everyone's favorite booze at the Chicago Tribune.
