lush products look like candy.

Lately, I've been bombarded by Lush hauls. Not to say this is a bad thing ... I'm just subscribed to a lot of people on Youtube who happen to like Lush, I guess! But ever since Cheryl's entry about baths, it reminded me how much of a bath person I am not. (That sentence is phrased awkwardly.) I used to take baths all the time as a kid, but due to lack of time I became used to showers. I take a bath maybe 2-3 times a year if I'm really mentally or physically exhausted.

But one main reason I don't bathe? Because I feel like I'm lying in my own filth. I just lie there, trying to cleanse myself but then all I think is -- I'm going to be lying in whatever I'm ridding my body of, so will I really be clean? When I was at the mall with my friends in Toronto last week, we walked by the Lush store (a store that specializes in bath-and-shower type things) and my friend complained of the strong smell. I told her my oddball thinking of lying in your own filth and she went, "If I told that to my mom, it would ruin her life." Meep, my apologies if I just ruined yours with this rambling.

I'd love to try out Lush, if only to give the appearance that I'm lying in lovely bubbles or in a pool of gold. But there are two reasons why I don't think I'd ever be able to purchase Lush. 1) the girls who work there shove the pieces in my face which; 2) has made me realize that almost every single item there looks like candy. When they shove something in my face and go, "This smells so good!" all I think is, "Nom nom nom."

To me, that just looks like yummy, ginormous jawbreakers. And this is proof that I am probably insane -- me wanting to eat products meant for the bath.

The fact that my last term of uni has started has also made me feel insane. Thanks everyone for the encouragement, but things like people YELLING in the student centre about reviewing notes (wtf, mate?) and seeing a courseware full of newspaper articles priced at $78.98, well it just makes me want to rip my hair out. That's why I cannot wait until tomorrow to renew my Wednesday Wishes segment -- I've been wishing a lot lately. Wishing about visiting my sister in Vancouver, wishing about having that diploma in my hand with teacher's college offers, and wishing about finding that perfect pink dress. Err, yes.

I'm going to a charity ball my university's holding a month from now -- it's The Boy and mine's Valentine's Day present to each other. Get dressed up, eat some yummy food, and dance the night away~ Andhari wrote on Twitter about getting a new dress, to which me and Shirley talked about 'never having enough dresses' and me saying that she could always give one to me, since I need a dress for the ball. This, in turn, spawned a whole Twitter conversation that led to: you ladies are the cutest. We should have a matching mini dress. No joke. :) pink or something. Thus, this was born:

Project Barbie, or Lovedress, is a mission to acquire a pink dress and take pictures wearing it, posting it on February 3rd. Now, I don't think I'm gonna wear a pink dress to the ball on the 5th, and I don't think I even own a pink dress (I suggested red, haha) but it's a fun, neat little challenge! If you want to join, just comment here, and if you want any more info, go see Andhari's entry about it! Embrace the pink side of life and promote it if you'd like!

Hope you've been having better luck getting 'back into business'!

And if you're still on vacation time ... I envy you :)

 This has probably been one of the most random posts I've made in a while.
