Just Lush!

There is a store in Toronto of Irish origins called Lush. Everytime I walk past it, my body tingles from head to toe as the heavenly melange of aromas from different soaps waft through the air straight to my nose. Ahhhhh! Orgasmic!

So I stay away from Lush now and for a good reason - it's expensive! If I walk into the store, I'd end up buying everything in the store.

And that's exactly what happened while I was in Rome. I had gone for my daily morning espressos (I always got two because they were so cheap) when my friend came running to me. "Come, come, you have to see this store!" She dragged me into a store called Fresh, the logo of which looked mysteriously like that of Lush. And it was exactly the same thing, only better!

Inside, on one end, there was potpourri which was very pleasant though on the strong side. I regretted buying that because I put it in my backpack and within hours, everything smelled of it. Smells are nice but only mild smells.

I'm tempted to talk about the delectable vanilla soap bar but that wasn't the highlight of my stop at Fresh. They had truffle-shaped soap bars garnished with actual chocolate curls. They looked so real that I wanted to eat one. The highlight of these sensuous treats was their chocolate truffle moisturizer made with REAL chocolate. It even smelled like chocolate.

I couldn't resist! I had to buy a bottle. I used it first a few weeks back, then forgot about it, and rediscovered it this morning. And now my hand and arm smells like chocolate and I want to bite it off! Christmas came early for Sal this year... I have my vanilla soap bar and my chocolate truffle moisturizer and you can't have any *sticks out his tongue*
