I literally -- <i>literally</i> -- gasped aloud when I read the words "free" and "Lush" in such close proximity. It is a true testament to how very much I like you that I'm not boiling with envy right now. omg. Lush samples. You lucky person. Dude, if you ever need to hire a long-distance, bath bomb-testing copyeditor, <i>you know whom to call</i>. !!!!!!!

Dude, if you ever need to hire a long-distance, bath bomb-testing copyeditor, you know whom to call.

I have a confession. At work, I am sent free... LUSH. Often. Very often. Part of my job is to test and review beauty products and then write about them. Monthly. (I just let out a huge sigh). The LUSH girl and I have become email bosom buddies over the last year or so (mainly because I flog her stuff in the magazine...I think she's using me?) and she sends me new bombs, soaps, scrubs and flowery things by the boxfull. The word "samples" is thrown about like a ragdoll. And I'm not one to exaggerate. Why am I telling you? Because often I have thought to myself, "It's just not right that all these pretty things come your way sandyb, and you have no one, but sandyb's sister, to share them with. Sigh.. If only there were another girl who could understand the obsession that is LUSH.. If. Only." And then there was TKOG. If I could share my goods with anyone on the planet TKOG, it would be you. If you ever need to, want to, crave to share your latest indulgences with another LUSH obsessor, I am here for you. Post away and I shall comment until the cows come home. I will support your need to divulge the indulgence. And if that Toronto trip does ever happen, we shall be LUSH'd in luxury!! Samples. How I love thee. Dear TKOG,
Please don’t hate me.. I have a confession.
At work, I am sent free…

LUSH.

Often. Very often.

Your father says "Making No decision is a decision." I'm quick to make a decision, but I am often wrong. Please watch your language, dear, because this is TKOG's blog. However, I do agree with you. NEVER mess with Sister. Hmmm.....now what's should I have for lunch? Ideas please. Dear, I’ve always said that ANY decision is better than NO decision.

That's it. Next time I go out to eat, I'm asking for a recommendation without any parameters, and just eating the heck out of whatever I've given. Even if it's raw octopus and saeurkraut.

I was surprised to go for a floral scent, but the salesgirl probably could have recommended a citrus scrub ... or a toffee bomb ... or <i>an ex-boyfriend who doesn't make smartass remarks about my Lushness</i> and I'd have gone for any of them. (You see what I did there?) That’s true.

I'm pretty much the epitome of wishy-washiness (which makes playing board games with me a practically aerobic exercise in frustration). I ask for suggestions at restaurants all the freakin' time. Even when I've found a few things I like though, I try to get something new every time. Worst case: I don't get it again; best case: I have a new favorite dish. :) I'll vouch that it does help you get over food fears. For that matter, just eating whatever people freakin' serve you will do wonders for acquiring all sorts of tastes. Being polite and expanding your palate? Totally win-win. Just the simple act of tolerating food people give to me (being a social eater, if you will) has given me an appreciation for alcohol, fish (both cooked and raw), shrimp/shellfish, peppers, tomatoes, cream cheese (yes, cheesecake used to literally make me throw up), avocado, and sundry other previously grody food products. After all, why limit myself? Having more culinary options never killed anyone, I say. Wow, I envy you gals.
