And every time I traveled to Europe during college, I would look for Lush stores...one in Glasgow, Scotland, one in Prague, one in Florence, Italy - that one, my friends and I just stumbled across in the most mixed up city ever. When we found that one, my friends snapped a picture and I had about the BIGGEST grin on my face. I don't think I've ever been captured that giddy-looking since.
Okay. I'm a dork. But I'm not a big like, Cucumber-Melon-Mango person. I like my bath stuff earthy, flowery, and musky. And Lush is the best place ever. I'm already scheming on how to trick my boyfriend into going there when we're in Chicago in two weeks...What? I need some soap! =oD

That is so cool about seeing all the stores in Europe. Of the places you mention, I've only been to Florence. I love making unique finds like that. I remember seeing L'Occitane in Paris before I had ever heard of it or seen any stores in the US.
I am so excited to get my stuff and it would make the most awesome gifts. Its so cool to give people something they never heard of before and they instantly fall in love.
Great job on starting Stage 2, by the way. I'm not a big fan of planks myself, but I'm improving. Looks like you made a really strong start!
