A LUSH CHRISTMAS

Christmas is just around the corner, and everyone’s preparing—or have already started—buying presents for their favorite crowd. With the holiday shopping rush, LUSH is sure to win you over as they deliver the best treats and options for your lengthy list of what-to-buys.Zero Waste christmas (1)

THE NAKED LINE

A highlight of LUSH’s collection for Holiday 2017 is the Naked line that features its “bare-all” packaging approach, in which 80% of the seasonal range are offered in solid form without the use of plastic bottles or any packaging; thus, also called the naked alternative. Zero Waste christmas (6)Not using expensive packaging gives big savings that LUSH can invest into more team members and training. Products from the Naked line like body butters are formulated with little to no water and are therefore often innately self-preserving. This line aims to be a support for a better planet, too!Zero Waste christmas (13)Zero Waste christmas (4)LUSH Holiday 2017 Launch Post (14)

Bath Bombs

New bath bombs are in this season. Sail away on a bubble gum sea of candy floss and fairy dust with the Snow Fairy bath bomb, or take a fizzy bath as you drop the hot and spicy Christmas Sweater bomb that contains Sicilian lemon oil, and powders of mustard and ginger to ease your muscles and warm you up after a busy day. Try out other bath bombs such as Shoot For The Stars with Brazilian orange and bergamot oils, Luxury Lush Pud which has ylang ylang oil and warming benzoin resinoid, and Butterbear that holds softening Fair Trade cocoa butter with creamy vanilla scent.Zero Waste christmas (10)

 
Bubble Bars

Welcome the main celebration of the season with Christmas Eve bubble bar. Take in the fruity scent when you have a go with Plum Snow that whips up a flurry of plum and Sicilian mandarin, or burst the Christmas Cracker bubble bar with uplifting lemon myrtle and lime essential oils. More options are in stores as LUSH also introduces The Snowman bubble bar with silky cocoa and Fair Traide shea butters for smooth and moisturized skin; or maybe test out the reusable ones like the Magic of Christmas made with cinnamon sticks and Fair Trade organic clove, and Magic Wand that creates clouds of pink, candy floss bubbles.

Shower Gels

Part of the Naked  line are shower gels offering a variety of scents, such as rose absolute and rose oil from damask roses for Rose Jam, wonderland of cranberry infusion and fresh blueberry juice for Berry Berry Christmas, and  malty blend of tonka and lavender for Twilight shower gel.

Body Conditioners

Enjoy your bath time with some of the Naked body conditioners. Peppermint and menthol crystals of Christingle help awaken and stimulate the body; Brazilian orange and lime oils of Buck’s Fizz lifts your mood while murumuru and shea butters of this body conditioner helps moisturize; and Fair Traide cocoa, avocado, and mango butters of Snow Fairy that are magically blended together to flutter your skin.

Do away with packaging as LUSH brings you lip tints and lip scrubs from the naked line, that are sure to become your soon-to-be staples. The Sugar Plum Fairy Naked lip tint—also available in lip scrub—gives the super soft Christmas kisses with its Kalahari melon and organic jojoba oils, plus sweet wild orange oil to give you a happy lift. Sweep the Santa Baby lip scrub over your lips for a kissable pout as it’s packed with murumuru and illipe butter and accompanied by coconut and jojoba oils. You can also have this in lip tint.

 KNOT WRAPS FOR PRESENTS

With the approach of continuing to focus on packaging that goes for less and finds more use for recycled materials, LUSH is proud to introduce its much larger Knot Wrap collection. The wraps are made from recycled plastic bottles and organic cotton, and each of the reusable fabric comes in different sizes—great for wrapping all sorts of presents.

LUSH, in no doubt, helps shopping for the holidays easier. You can buy gift sets that will woo the person you’re giving it. Among others, they have Sweet Christmas (Candy Mountain bubble bar and Think Pink bath bomb), The Night Before Christmas (Shoot For The Starts bath bomb and Christmas Eve bubble bar), Rosy Christmas (Rose Jam naked shower gel, Rose Jam bubbleroon), Starry Night (Twilight sparkle jar and Twilight naked shower gel), and Christmas Bathtime Favourites (Golden Wonder bath bomb, Shoot for the Stars bath bomb, Never Mind the Ballistics bath bomb, Luxury Lush Pud Christmas Sweater bath bomb, Sherbet Dip bath bomb, Thundersnow bath bomb, and Butterbear bath bomb).

Ginza Steak Shop

By | Tokyo | No Comments

All You Can Eat A5 Wagyu steak course ( Trial Course -7 dishes ) for Y5,800 ++ ( comes out to around Y7,300) at Tokyo Ginza Steak Fast Shop!  They use different cuts of the beef so the quality will vary. It’s not the premium quality but its okay and good value for money.  There is a time limit so just keep asking for your beef as quickly as you can.  Then when they ask you again, tell them already how many pieces you want.

  Thank you @randygo for the recommendation . This is lunch course – there are more courses for dinner but double the price already #h2hsteaks#h2htokyo#dejesusintokyo
