This smells like being fifteen and it is not trying to be anything else. Sweet vanilla, a hit of candied apple, something a bit powdery underneath. Objectively it's a sugar bomb. Subjectively I keep buying it. Sillage is loud for the first hour then it collapses into a soft skin scent by hour three, so it's not one you wear to make an impression at 6pm. The heart bottle with the plastic crown is gaudy and I love it, though the little jewels on the crown will absolutely fall off and vanish into your dresser. For under $40 it's an easy repurchase. -

The peppermint tingle is either the best part or a dealbreaker, there's no middle ground. I like it. It feels like the balm is doing something, even though what it's doing is mostly just menthol theatre. Actual moisturizing is decent but not miraculous — I still reapply constantly, and I've read the arguments that peppermint balms make you dependent on them, which honestly tracks. Cheap, everywhere, the tube lasts months. The tin version is worse; you dip a finger in and then have waxy finger for twenty minutes. Get the yellow tube. -
Lululemon Yoga Pants
They feel like nothing. That's the whole pitch and it's true — first time I put them on I kept checking that I was actually dressed. Buttery, no waistband dig, they don't slide down mid-downward-dog.

It works on me every single time. On toast it's fine. Straight off a spoon at 11pm standing in front of the open fridge is where it actually belongs. The jar shape is a menace — that shoulder means you lose a good tablespoon to geometry unless you commit to a butter knife and some dignity loss. Buy the big one. You'll finish it faster than you think and lie about it. -
