ALL THAT ZAZZ

By Mary N. DiZazzo

Have a Lush-ious Christmas `08

Wondering what to get for that someone special on your list? Or maybe just a thoughtful treat to show appreciation?

LUSH is the way to go! Lots of loving care go into all their products and the “scents” just take you to places you yearn to go. As always there are gift boxes to go—full of goodies, wrapped and ready.

Here are some scent-sational treats—

THE CHOCOLATE SANTA BATH BOMB
It doesn’t matter if you’ve been naughty or nice, this Santa will scent the air with chocolate and vanilla bringing you a calming, relaxing haven amidst the chaos of Christmas.

THE SNOWDROPS BATH BOMB
An invigorating bomb made with essential oils of mandarin, grapefruit and peppermint. Partied a little to hardy? Then this soak is for you, soothing aching feet and headaches. A perk me up for sure. (vegan)

b>SNOWMAN BUBBLE BAR
Fill your tub with comforting vanilla orange and sandlewood. Great for your skin with the sandlewood encouraging relaxation and a sense of well being.

CHRISTMAS CAKE SLICE
Imagine a giant slab of Christmas cake you can wash with? Smells delicious—remember don’t eat it! Enjoy the Almond oil rich in vitamin A & E nourishing the skin.

DOUBLE FAST LUCK EMOTIBOMB (the bath bomb for your shower)
Created for Chinese New Year to bring good luck and fortune. Enjoy its coin shape fragrance of patchouli, ylang ylang, lavendin, orange and lemon grass. Great gift idea for friends—“Double fast Luck” is a spell to bring growth, prosperity, vitality and energy! We all can use the good Karma.

STRAWBERRY SANTA SHOWER JELLY
This Santa shaped jelly comes in a delicious smelling aroma of strawberries. Moisturizes with mineral rich spring water. Contains sweetness of coconut and vanilla pod both for calming the skin and mind. (Vegan)

LET THEM EAT CAKE LIP BALM
Wow—tastes like cake with extra softening ingredients to keep those lips kissable for those mistletoe moments. I find it helps satisfy a “cake” craving! Contains Organic Olive Oil and shea butter to retain moisture. There is also a sprinkle of cinnamon to plump and redden lips!

These are just a few of the marvelous and uplifting products LUSH has to offer. Visit your local stores in Boston, Cambridge and now New in Natick.

I want to take this opportunity to wish my colleagues at the Post-Gazette and all my readers Buon Natale.
