There's always that one person you know who always gives the best gifts. No matter the occasion you always know that whatever they give you will either be something you've always wanted or something you didn't even know you wanted... but sure as hell do now!

I will be the first to say that I am not that person. But that doesn't mean I don't try! My Christmas shopping usually entails me wandering around the mall searching for some sort of affordable inspiration.
So, Tuesday afternoon found me walking aimlessly past stores, concentrating hard on ignoring  the stupid hair product salespeople trying to flag me down. Really, all I want to do is yell, "Yeah, uh, I'd like a refund for the 10 dollars I paid you last year to LEAVE ME ALONE." I swear, I have a receipt. But that's another story.

I ended up in LUSH because I believe that everyone deserves a pamper session every now and then. And why not do it with  all-natural, vegan friendly, and animal friendly products?

 The Baked Alaska was probably one of my favorites. It's a seasonal product but the smell is a lot fruitier than any Christmas scent. I was expecting it to smell like an actual baked alaska (dessert). But it's really more of an herby sweet citrus scent, something I'd use year round.


I wanted to find something a little more festive so I quite literally sniffed around some more and found, Yog Nog. Goodness gracious. I had already heard about it but it was all I could do to keep from wanting to lick it. It smells exactly how fudgey hot chocolate tastes. Warm and cozy. I ended up buyinot a bar of this. It'll take some special self control to keep me from using it myself. X.X
