Mmm, peppermint feet
No, I haven't gone crazy. I'm just enjoying the sample of foot cream I got from Lush on Friday. Full report of the American Anime Awards tomorrow, but my brain is wilting after wrassling with Kaien icons all evening. But I can share the swag I got! Armed with $60 in gift certificates, I had FUN flitting around the store, figuring out what new things to try. What I came away with:
-A big hunk of Karma soap, since I like the smell of this version even though the Karma perfume made me gag
-Happy Hippy shower gel MMM GRAPEFUIT
-Ultimate Shine solid shampoo (I love this stuff, the name does not lie)
-Veganese hair conditioner to see what a level of conditioning below American Cream does
-Samples of Ultra Light moisturizer and Fair Trade foot lotion
I haven't tried everything yet, but judging by just the smells, let me say mmmmmmm. I'm not entirely sure why I would need foot cream--I think it's supposed to soften up the skin? That might actually be useful, but right now I just like rubbing the soft pink stuff so my feet smell like mint. I've still got $17 in gift money left, too--Lush moisturizer is expensive shit, so I wanted to try it out before committing. If it goes well for the rest of the sample, I'll probably use the remainder to get a full container. Previous moisturizers I've sampled were a bit too oily.
I should probably fall asleep shortly, since I'm tired and it's after midnight, but I think my brain isn't really registering that the weekend is ending. Open bar and getting to talk shit with fun industry folks aside, I worked this weekend, and I feel like I'm owed another day. The way it's snowing now, I might get at least part of one depending how bad the roads are in the morning, but I doubt I'll get a full snow day--we're supposed to close the issue tomorrow, and since we were supposed to do that last week, it's not like we have a lot of room to fuck around.
Between the latest episode on Adult Swim, the manga and DVD I got at the con this weekend, and the massive continuing squee over the latest chapters, I feel like I need to do some ginormous Bleach commentary/gleefest post. I'm sorry, those of you who don't share the fandom, I try not to be a one-note journal, but lately...I fail. Not my fault KT brings the awesome! But'll try and be slightly more entertaining.
