Introduction

Hello everyone! I'm glad you've found my blog. I wanted to have a place where I could just rant and rave about my favorite store and its products. What store, you ask? That would be LUSH! (If you didn't figure it out already...)

In case you didn't know, LUSH is a bath product and skincare company that started in the UK about 15 years ago. Its products are all handmade, and use natural and safe synthetic ingredients. They never ever test on animals, and never buy ingredients from companies who test on animals either. Whenever possible, they buy fairly-traded and organic ingredients, and all of their product is minimally packaged.

I've been a fan of LUSH for several years now, ever since a friend of mine bought a gift certificate for my birthday and told me to buy some massage bars to "put my husband to work." I've been hooked! I would pay the extra shipping to have my LUSH soaps, shampoos, and skincare shipped from Canada. I kept begging on the forums and in email for the company to put a store here in my hometown, as every time I traveled I would see if I could visit a store in that town.

Finally, I got the good news that LUSH was opening in my city... in the mall right across the street from where I live! I knew I was going to have to work there, even if only for a few hours a week just to get the employee discount. The store has been open for about two weeks now, and I've been loving every minute I work. I've had to learn a lot about the products and ingredients that go into them, and there's always more to learn!

I can't wait to share more of my experiences and favorites with all of you. Have a LUSH day!
