A lush addiction

When I count how many Lush products I have at any given time,  it is no less than 30 items.
I. Am. Obsessed.

Cue insert of pic of an embarrassing collection.

My addiction started ten years ago with a trip to Sydney when I first purchased Flower Market Soap. It was heaven in a green soapy bar. Beautiful. A store then opened in Wellington when I was at university in which I frequently made trips to. ( By the way I have since emailed them to try and get that soap re-released on their Retro items to no avail... Are you getting the full extent of my addiction yet?  : )

Since then, I do not fail to sniff out the nearest Lush when walking into a new mall. It's hard to miss the pungent aroma waffling throughout the corridors. It makes me so excited. Like a kid in a candy shop, a dog on heat (ew) and the switch in me clicks until I can hone in on my fix.

Lush smells.. well, Lush. Men describe it as a stench. It is definitely a soapy and flowery, but can be overwhelming especially the heavy, herbally concoction that all the aromas blend together make when you first walk into the store. But it is bliss.

So now there is a Lush less than five minutes from where I live. I love it. The girls that work there are always super friendly and nice to me. They understand my addiction well. So much so, that when I left my ring there once after a Lemony Flutter hand treatment, they knew my contact number in their book to ring me back. Well, that's kind of embarrassing! I really should have shares in the business with how much I've invested. Or at least work there. It has been suggested to me before... but I don't think I could handle it.

The reasons why I love Lush: 

1. their products are festive and seasonal. 
2. it is a pricey, but affordable treat. 
3. anything beauty related is lovely and self-indulgent.

That's all.

Do you want to hear my favourite Lush products? Or was this enough whimsical nonsense..

Budgie.
