My desk smells nice right now....

Mrs T dispatched me to the local Lush to buy stuffage, now my desk smells like a tarts handbag rather nice right now.  I seem to have become addicted to Aromarant, their shower gels and shampoo bars....

I can't go in their shops - it makes me sneeze too much.  A bag of their lurvly smelling goods beneath my desk would leave my colleagues blessing me all afternoon...
Getting there...

I can't even walk past the outside of their shops :sick:  On the high street I have to cross and walk the other side.  In shopping centres such as Lakeside or BlueWater I change floors to get past!   They stink to high heaven and my eyes water badly.

... and why do they always set up next door/close to Thorntons?

Lush is a secret branch of the Department of Health, battling the increase in obesity across the nation.

Their products smell so strongly because they're not packaged, so all the lovely essential oil goodness can waft out and about instead of being trapped in plastic. It's free range soap innit.

Me too- and on the one occasion iI was dragged in by my daughter to buy Christmas presents, and downstairs to a very cramped basement absolutely stuffed with smelly objects I ended up having an asthma attack.

I love Lush. It smells, well, Lush :)

Their Buffy The Backside Slayer is great for scarred skin and stretchmarks!

Happy Hippy rools!

Me too - and the upmarket version of Lush (can't remember what it's called but they're next door to each other in Carnaby Street and owned by the same company)...

B. If anyone ever wants to buy me a present, B perfume - Two Hearts or Breath of God - would do.  ;)

I have a friend who works in Lush headquarters in Poole and sometimes I get things which were made as trial products but not released for sale. They very kindly doubled my sponsorship total for the LEPRA bike ride too. Lush Dream Cream has sorted the eczema I was plagued with since I was a toddler, Cosmetic Warrior sorts spots out, their henna makes my hair very very shiny - it's my favourite shop.
