I went over to the mall last night with my mate Tracey. She had some baby stuff to pick up but she also wanted to get fitted properly for a bra and maybe find a nice shiny new one. She wanted to go into La Senza which has expanded it's store considerably and is full of very bright new colours. I thought i was standing in a jelly bean factory! They did have some black, white and beige bras but they were definitely outnumbered and not a sexy red one in the store either. Their sizes don't come near to fitting me but it was interesting to see all the styles of the various unmentionables. She did find one, in a lime green! I guess her fella won't have any trouble finding her in the dark ;)

Down the hall we wandered towards Cotton Ginny and lo and behold!!! Lush has opened up! :) Yayyyyyy! Didn't quite manage to walk past the store without going in and i didn't quite manage to get out of the store without a yellow bag in hand. But i still have a lot of stuff left that i bought in Manchester so i didn't do too much damage. A fresh face mask and a small chai shower gel. I shall try the mask tonight and see if it makes me glow ;) The woman that waited on me is the manager of the Vancouver store and they have brought her in to run this one, not sure if it's permanent or just until it gets up and running well and the staff is more trained. She was great though and gave me a little sample of one of the face creams i wanted to try. I bought two different ones before but both of them are a bit heavy for my skin type. One i've hardly used at all. Anyone on my flist locally that has really dry skin want to try it? It's hyperallergenic, no fragrances.

Chai is yummy but Tramp is still my favourite. I hadn't used it for ages but yesterday I realised my skin still smelled of patchouli at bedtime (11pm) having showered with it at 7am. Great stuff.

I wonder if i've had Tramp yet. I've tried the small sizes of quite a few and there were a couple i didn't like much. But if it's got patchouli in it i would like it i think. They haven't come out with Karm shower gel yet have they? Ooooh and the store manager here told me they're bringing out toothpaste! No fluoride in it because she said your teeth can actually become dependent on it. It's got ... oh i forget, but it's sort of polishing element in it. I don't see anything about it on the website yet. Might be interesting to try though.

Tramp is the dark green one. Haven't seen a Karma shower gel, but it's not a fragrance I'm all that keen on.

The toothpaste is out here in May. I'm not sure about it, dentists do recommend using a fluoride toothpaste.

Yes they do. But it might be nice for an occaisional polish even if not every day. Depending on the price i think i will try it. I think it was Narcotik and Happy for Sad that i wasn't too keen on. And Skinny Dip is a bit of a nuisance as you have to shake it so it doesn't separate. I shall have to try Tramp definitely. Imperialis was the moisturizer i tried and it's lovely, really nice and light.

Mm... sounds like my kind of place.
Lush, that is.

Actually La Senza is a favourite of mine.
cause you know, I can't leave the house unmatched.
Small quirk I know....
and big problem if the laundry's not done. LOL.

La Senza is my all-time favorite store. I could spend a fortune in there.
As for fluoride, my hygenist recommended a daily rinse (Oral B mouthwash with fluoride) and atributes my healthy teeth to it.

I think my poor teeth are beyond help lol what with all the root canals i've had done and re-done and have a few more old fillings that need redoing and overhauled.

Yes it was where we thought it would be. I'm a happy girl but my bank account is shivering.
