smelly stuff

The weather was in the 60s-70s today for the first time in a week or so, so I decided to bike to work. Since the co-worker I normally eat lunch with is on vacation and I didn't bring any cash for the in-office caterer, I walked to lunch (I really should do this more often anyway, since there's a shopping center less than a mile away with several lunch options).

After eating a fuji apple chicken salad at Panera (which contained NO APPLES - I think they just forgot to put them on, but it was good enough without them that I didn't complain...well, until now, I guess), I went over to the Bath & Body Works. The hand cream I keep in my desk drawer is nearly gone, so I figured I'd stock up. One of the employees was raving about the new fragrances, and I couldn't find the stupid hand cream, so I went over there to check them out. Completely fell in love with the Japanese Cherry Blossom, so I picked up a bottle of lotion. I looked around a little more, still couldn't find the hand cream. I was running out of lunch hour, so I asked one of the staff what hand cream she recommends. She directed me to the Le Couvent des Minimes Gardener's Hand Healer (whose samples happened to be right next to a tub of the hand creams I had spent the last 10 minutes searching for...d'oh!). Love! 20% shea butter, smells like lemon drops. I bought three 25ml sample sizes, because they were on sale for $3 and the full-size tube is $15 for 75ml. I was tempted to buy 5, since it would almost be like getting two free! But I didn't.

So, those are my product recommendations for today...Japanese Cherry Blossom and Gardener's Hand Healer.

This probably goes without saying, but I had walked halfway back to the office before I realized that I never even bought the thing I came in for. :)
