hula hoops and hampster wheels

my standby perfume is hypnose by lancome -- but it's more of a fall or winter smell -- so in spring and summer I try to mix it up a bit and this year, i found my way back to bath n body. I had been on an unofficial boycott since they kept replacing all of my favorite finds there -- and now I can't even remember the names of them -- only that there was a pink one, a blue one and a green one I liked... and they don't make them anymore.

So I went with my friends Swessi over lunch and stocked up on some lotions -- cause let's face facts - winter was not kind to my skin and now I have some dry spots.

I picked up:

Wild honeysuckle
delicate orchid? or something with an orchid on it -- I can't find it at the moment, it might be at Dave's? or else it has entered the wonderful abyss of lost items.
Coconut Lime Verbena -- which I like at first, but then sometimes I smell vanilla in it and I get nauseous, one of the side effects vanilla has on me.
and finally
the Pomegranate number --
I like them all, I buy them all -- bad habit, yes, but on the other hand it had been some time since I made a trip to the B&B

Afterthought: coconut lime verbena -- can only be worn on days i know i won't see Dave, as his reaction to coconut is similar to my reaction to vanilla...

The honeysuckle is soft and airy but a little too powdery

so the orchid number and pomegranate are by far the two favorites out of the 4. just can't find the orchid one and the pomegranate is at work.

On the same note, for my birthday -- I bought myself some cute soaps from World Market -- Lemon, Lime and Orange -- for my love of all things citrus. Yes, this is perhaps the lamest birthday present I've ever got for myself but - I wasn't in a shopping mood and this is what I found.
