After a particularly traumatic experience on the tram home from work (when you're wedged between 2 sweaty, dusty builders guts and a 14 year old kid who thinks wearing 4 gallons of eau de Lynx will bring all the girls to the yard...you'd think it was traumatic too) I decided to pop into Lush and pick up a few relaxants.
I hold my hands up: I've never bought anything from their Karma range. The scent always interested me but for some reason I never purchased anything. It may have been because everyone raves about it and I didn't want to be let down. Shame on me. I digress.
I bought Karma bubble bar, Blue Skies & Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar and Happy Blooming bath melt. Then had a chat with the Lush staff since the place was empty. Strange for a late-night-shopping Thursday evening.
I also browsed through WHSmiths and picked up a couple of Glamour magazines. You'll know by now that this month's Glamour is offering a free Nails Inc polish. I got Hampstead Heath and Jermyn Street. It wouldn't be a trip to 'Smiths without picking up chocolate they ever so sneakily line the queues with. I got a Minty Terry's Chocolate Orange and a White Chocolate Smasher. The white chocolate one was gone by the time we got home...hence the pic of the wrapper...
We then hot footed it to Superdrug to pick up a Bad Girl palette for Alicia and I saw they had my favourite deodorant on offer at 99p! Swiped up two of those. It's more or less the only product I can use from Dove's entire range.
Oh! And how crappy did I feel when I went along with my boyfriend and his little brother to donate blood. I sat in the corner with my magazines and chocolate, smelling of Lush and wearing some ridiculously overpriced boots like the selfish, materialistic, non-blood-donating person I am...and the bloke signing people in looks up and says "Would you like to come and sign in love?" AHH! "Umm...no I'm just waiting, thank you." What I should've said is "I'm a terrible person who's going to sit here, read her magazines and keep her blood all to herself!" I haven't donated blood since the first time I did it at 18. The nurse taking it coughed all over me and didn't tell me what was going on at all. I then passed out as soon as I left the church hall. The NHS seem to have stepped up their game so in a few months time when they go and donate again, I'll make an appointment too.
Where do you go or what do you do to relax after a stressful day? For me: a bath, the TV and a box of old photographs is hands down my favourite way to unwind.
