The daily lemming

Hmmm, something to layer with my Ancient Resins? Aftelier Frankincense Face & Body Balm: "This calming, anti-inflammatory healing balm is non-greasy and absorbs quickly. Made from two kinds of whole frankincense oleoresin (not the essential oil), boswellia neglecta and sacra -- extracted by me; both are rich with boswellic acids that are so supportive to health. These two varieties of frankincense are blended together to create a beautiful relaxing aroma. Includes organic beeswax and frankincense CO2 extract." $35 for a 15 ml tin at Aftelier, and also available in rose.

My latest Lush lemming: Santa's Christmas Shower Gel. "This spicy-sweet, cola-scented shower cream features a rich coffee infusion for an instant pick-me-up! A warming blend of cinnamon and black pepper is invigorated by fresh lime juice and softened with cocoa butter and almond oil for the silkiest skin possible. Santa's Christmas is also available in an innovative solid formula that's packaging-free!" In 3 sizes, $9.95 - $32.95, or $14.95 for the "naked" Shower Cream. Please comment if you've already tried it!

More holiday spirit from Indigo Wild: Mazel Zum almond-orange goat's milk bar soap. "Turn your morning shlep to the shower into a rejuvenating Hava Nagila thanks to kosher almond and citrus undertones. If you feel the urge to lift someone up on a chair while others dance around you, don’t. You’re in the shower." $6.50.

My muscles are not particularly tired, but this sounds tempting anyway (or at least, like a good excuse to go back to bed): "Relax and relieve tired muscles with Salus's Lavender & Jasmine Heat Pillow. Scented with an soothing blend of lavender and jasmine and filled with Australian wheat. Simply heat the bag in a microwave or oven." $34.90 at Saison in Australia.

The products also come in candles and perfume oils. At Elemis in the UK (but not, at the moment, in the US).
