Sweet Lemon Lip Butter

I have never been a big fan of the Body Shop, and to be honest, I'm still not. The way they hound you the second you step foot in the door is so annoying, if I want your help, I will ask for it. I also strongly dislike the smell of the store, I'm not a fan of scented things, such as candles, and that's what their stores smell like. Makes me feel slightly queasy. HOWEVER.

My housemate had the Sweet Lemon Lip Butter, and I used it one time, and since then I've been craving it. I get fairly dry lips and especially whilst at work with the air conditioning, they get all chapped and sore, but this lip butter sorted it right out. Not only does it taste amazing (as somebody said on the website - Mr Kipling French Fancie!) but it softens your lips for hours and repairs them back to brand new. It's probably the best thing i've seen to come out of the store.

I would definitely recommend this, as I have been using the Rose and Aloe Vera Vaseline for a while and they just haven't been doing the job as of late. It's a little pricey for my liking, but then again, it is the body shop and they overprice everything just because it is 'organic' or whatnot. 

I feel like i am going to have to purchase my own, however i cannot brave myself to go in to the store - which is why i love the internet..

The Great White


The Great White is a truly beautiful creature, it's just misunderstood - fault mainly lying in Steven Spielberg's wallet. 

I think ever since the age of about 12/13, I have been fascinated by sharks, mainly the Great White. It would be a dream if I had the opportunity to swim with one, and I do plan on making that happen before I die, i'd love to join a team that catches and tags Great Whites, studying their entire lives. I probably should have done a degree to do with marine biology, however science wasn't my strong point, in fact, I don't think I have a strong point (!)

Whenever I go home, and after I've caught up on the daily programmes, it's straight to the documentary channel for a shark related programme, recently discovered is a programme called Shark Men California, which is on every day at 2pm on the National Geographic Channel. I did series link it, but knowing my family, they have probably deleted it.. :| 

It's a programme about tagging sharks, and when watching it with my mother last week, she called the men mental as there were two camera men who got in the water with the shark filming what happened underneath the water. Luckily for her, I didn't mention that, that is actually something that I can only dream of, however, I think that is one ambition, I probably will never be able to follow through...

Something to think about........... Would people be terrified of Goldfish if SS had based his 1975 film on them rather than Sharks....
