Girly stuff.

rhienellethI get accused a lot of enabling. That is, introducing others to Very Cool Things that then either suck up their a) time, b) money, or both.
Well, all things come around, and I blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kistha for introducing me to LUSH. (They have online shops for like, every country.) Which is currently offering a SALE on their Neil Gaiman, Stardust-inspired bath bomb, appropriately named Stardust. Also, you can get 5% off your total purchase by using the promotional code GIFTFORYOU09 at checkout.
I totally blame Neil's twittering for this, since he linked to the sale this morning. Oh, andkistha, as stated.
If you've never tried it, truly, their bath stuff is awesome. I have been very unhappy with my expensive salon shampoo for awhile, so I'm going to give Lush's shampoo a try, too. I waffled about ordering anything, but then I hit upon a brilliant plan - I ordered some stuff for my sister, who at six months pregnant is starting to feel very blah, indeed, and added just a couple of things for me. :D I think she'll love the Stardust bath bomb (as both a bath and Neil Gaiman fan), and I'm hoping some of the other stuff will make her feel feminine and girly. I just have to decide - do I wrap it up as part of her shower gift, or do I give it her as a special sister thing before? Hmmm.
Go forth and spend some time (and possibly money) exploring their site! This completes my enabling for the day. :D

2. Make sure that the essential oils in the stuff you're giving your sister are safe for use during pregnancy. Some common stuff like peppermint and rosemary is not safe for use while pregnant, so keep that in mind.
Otherwise, expect to spend a whole lot of money, LUSH can be addictive. Is there a store near you?

Ooooh, I did not know that about pregnancy and oils! I will check into that.
Nope, no Lush anywhere near me, but that's probably for the best!

She priced out the exact same items from the US and UK sites and saved about $20 on her order after converting to dollars. (She's in Mass., though so shipping to Ore. might change the equation a bit.)
