Fine

something positive about today. . .I smell good! haha

Yeah, there's this place in Boston that I've been wanting to go to called Lush-- basically, they sell overpriced bath/shower/hair/skin products. Since I haven't been able to get to Boston at all recently, and even when I do, there's usually not much time to go browsing in stores, I was delighted to find that I could order the stuff online. So I read people's reviews of the various products and lots of posts on their message board, and eventually narrowed my choices down. I ordered Sonic Death Monkey, a chocolate/orange/coffee scented shower gel and Flying Fox, a jasmine (I think) scented temple balm.

Because all online orders in North America come from Canada, I had to wait awhile for the products to be shipped, but they arrived today! I had such a girl moment, haha. I tore open the box, and before I even got to my products, just the packaging smelled SO GOOD. And then, when I pulled away the top layer of packaging, turns out I received a free item! Nope, this wasn't a mistake. . .this company often tosses in freebies with your order, but I certainly wasn't expecting anything since I hadn't spent very much $$ and was a first time shopper. The free item was a "shower jelly," literally a gelatinous cube of shower gel, called Whoosh-- and it's very strongly scented of lime. Mmm.

I haven't used either of the shower products, but I did use the temple balm on my wrists, and I've been smelling them ALL DAY, haha. Some people complained that the scent of the temple balms doesn't last, but I apparently have no problem with that. Even though I don't usually shower at night, I might just do so because I'm curious to find out how Sonic Death Monkey will be!

Well, that's the only real positive thing for today. I ate a ton this evening and I'm not feeling well. I've had major reflux for hours now, and it's burning my throat. :( Unfortunately, nice smelling shower products don't solve everything.
