We follow the evidence.

Right. If anyone ever needs proof that Lush products are really, actually and tangibly made from fresh ingredients, they can come visit my bathroom right now.

In the wake of the whole diet-for-a-month thing, I have bought tons (well, tons for me anyway) of fresh produce this week. Grapes, apples, bananas and lots and lots of veggies. And within a day, the fruit flies started to appear. It’s colder ‘n a witch’s tit here in Zurich but in my flat, it’s nice and warm (I don’t even heat, so I don’t know why this is, but it definitely is). Which means that right now, there are a lot of happy fruit flies that annoy the crap out of me. And a few days ago, I found some in the bathroom. I couldn’t quite figure out what they were doing there, buzzing about. Today, I have. I snuck up on them and switched the light on and boom! saw what attracted them to the bathroom. My Lush Cosmetics products. They are literally trying to suck the lemon out of my Lemslip. Trying to get to the banana in my body cream. Even trying to get to the licorice in my Coalface soap and the lemon grass in my black toothpaste. The only Lush product they haven’t tried to eat away from me is my sample of sea salt face scrub.

 

I hate fruit flies!!!! They. Are. Everywhere. *does the googly eyes*

 

And I’m hungry. Very, very hungry. This diet I’m on has actually shown the heart of the problem: while I was eating rather healthily until now, the portions were quite big. Did you know that 30g of cereal are, like, nothing? You basically need a microscope to find it. 30g of cereal is what I can have along with the rest of my breakfast. It’s so little actual cereal, I can almost count the individual grains in about five minutes, tops.

 

Gosh I’m hungry.

 

Live long and prosper, peace,
