I seem to be enjoying some little luxuries these days and why not? I've already developed an obsession with Yankee Candle wax tarts, which are highly fragranced blobs of wax which you put in the top of an oil burner, heat below with a tealight candle, the wax melts and your living space is suddenly filled with your aroma of choice. My favourites at the moment are too many to mention but I particularly love Cranberry Chutney. Home Sweet Home smells like cinnamon balls, if you remember them, Frosted Pumpkin smells like gingerbread, and tonight I'm trying out Black Cherry which also appeals to me as I love fruity/citrus smells.
Another thing I've recently got into: Lush bath ballistics, which are a very luxurious essential oil-filled alternative to bubble bath. However I probably won't buy the Big Blue again, purely for the fact that it's got seaweed through it, and leaves the bath in one great big seaweedy mess. At least Avobath and Blackberry are less messy. (I quite fancy some of their special edition Christmas range though, so watch this space) By the way, the Lush website tells us that it's only 53 sleeps to Christmas. A reassuring thought ....!

Have you tried the cocoa butter one? I forget the name now...That one's very lovely,think it's the cheapest one too.
Oh and the soaps.They sometimes cost a small fortune but they're very good- my mum always stocks up on the honey one whenever she comes to Guildford.Only lasts her about 3 days though,she's a bit addicted :)
I was in Lush today during my shopping marathon but got a bit overwhelmed by the choice on offer as there are now all of the limited edition Christmas ones in addition to all the others. Anyway being the typical Libran I couldn't make my mind up and ended up not buying any this week but will be back within the next couple of weeks to pick up a few.
Haven't tried their soaps for a while, but I remember buying one not so long ago called "I Should Coco" which as the name suggests had bits of coconut through it :)
