A month ago I won a contest being given by a store in one of the hundreds of shopping centers orbiting my house. Great store, actually, called Lush. The first time I walked in, the onslaught of scentsation just about knocked me over. And the colors...riotous, bright, retina-scalding color that makes your head swivel and bounce like a bobblehead doll. Color everywhere. I was immediately in love with the store, and am now completely addicted to their products. Just the thought of going on a Lush shopping spree makes me vibrate like a lead guitarist on speed.
And it's practically criminal the way they market their wares. Color, scent, pushing the all-organic, natural, green, hand-made beauty products in a myriad of colors and shapes and viscosities...plus everything you could want or need under one roof.
Anyways, the contest consisted of a model city built entirely out of soap, and the person who could guess the weight of the entire thing would win it all. Having already spent a goodly portion of my disposable income in this store, I accurately gauged how much it weighed just by multiplying the weight of the smaller bars and doing the math. I also managed to figure out the value of that much soap, and was pretty damn happy when I won it all :) :) :)
One of the buildings in the city was made of a large piece of black soap. I think it's called Coalface, but I'm not sure. Anyways, when lathered, it becomes a nice seaweed green. I handed a stick of it to my hubby in the shower and laughed my ass off when he turned green and starting calling himself the Incredible Hulk :P
Anyone interested in natural soaps with smelly-fresh sniffyness, click on this logo and find a store near you. Or order online.
Just my way to say Thank You, Lush, for making me stink pretty. :)
