A couple weeks ago I took my dog on a hike and then went to grab a bagel and in between these two activities managed to find myself both at a magazine stand and a beauty supply store, where of course I didn’t need anything, but ended up with a ton of goodies anyways. One purchase I walked away with was Rachel Perry’s Lip Lover lip balm in banana-coconut, which I was so excited to find! My mom used to buy me this lip balm when I was a little girl, and seeing the little art nouveau illustrated pots made me instantly nostalogic for the days of dress-up (not that those ever really went away…). Of course, being the little consumer that I am, I can’t stop thinking about the other flavors, and how I need to have them right now! Besides the banana-coconut, the yummy little balms come in raspberry-cherry, grape juice, cantaloupe, chocolate bliss, mint tingle and very vanilla.

Well, well, well, seems the gift pack just happens to exclude the flavor I already own. I think it must be a sign…
