Sweet Treats from Lush!

Lush is quickly becoming my BFF!


I came home Monday, exhausted from a day at work, only to find a scrumptiously fragrant package from Lush waiting for me. I opened the huge box to discover a host of treats just in time for Valentine’s Day! Yay!


The package contained aromatic treats that are meant to help you and your boo get in the mood for amour. I tried the You Wash My Back Soap, the Melting Marshmallow Moments (Luxury Bath Melt) and the Soft Coeur Massage Bar . I loved them all, but my absolute fave was the Soft Coeur Massage bar.



This amazingly cute heart shaped massage bar is made with honey and cocoa butter which gives it the yummiest scent I’ve ever smelled (pssst…it smells like a luscious, rich chocolatey truffle).


To use it, all you need to do is rub it in the palm of your hands to release the oils, and then give your sweetie a sensual rub down! Grrls, he’ll be putty in your hands!


To add a little spice to your V-day celebrations, try some yummy treats from Lush.


Have fun!

Single of the Week


My name is Michelle and I’m a Kelly Clarkson fan. Yes, I love the soulful chops of Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige and even Keyshia Cole, but truth be told, I’m a HUGE Kelly Clarkson fan.

Since You’ve Been Gone, is probably one of my all time fave songs (Behind These Hazel Eyes is a close second), and the rest of her music library gets heavy rotation on my iPods.

I didn’t know much about her latest single, My Life Would Suck Without You until it was getting a lot of attention. It flew all the way up the billboard charts to number one, and I read tons of online articles saying that this song was a welcome surprise from her rather depressing cd, My December (BTW, I loved her single Never Again!)

I youtubed the song and thought it was alright. I didn’t find it too different from anything else that she has done. It was definitely a more positive and bubbly song than what we’re used to from her, but it was still acceptable.

I listened to it a few other times just to give it a fair chance, and then I came to this conclusion: it’s a pretty safe Kelly Clarkson track. It lacks the angry undertone that I love and identify with, but it’s otherwise an okay song. My rating 3 out of 5.


Let me know what you think, watch the video here.
