ECLIPSE/BLUE
I randomly came across Nosaj Thing's latest album Home while I was in a record shop a few weeks ago. I decided to buy it without even giving it a listen first because I had been tipped off to it by a fellow blogger who called this the best album so far of 2013. I trust their taste so I figured why not. Having a physical copy of albums always makes it more special. I had no idea what to expect, which made listening to this so much more exciting. After hearing the entire album once, I listened to it five more times. Yeah. Only two of the tracks have any lyrics or vocals, but that's something I really enjoyed. The electronic sounds are open to the listener's own interpretation. "Eclipse/Blue" is slightly eerie and the vocals sound very longing to me. Check it out and tell me your thoughts!

MY LUSH COLLECTION
I think Lush is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I had always seen it in passing while at the mall and I knew it as the store that has Goth Juice and soap that looks like wedges of cheese. After seeing photos and blog posts online about the Lush bath bombs, I knew I had to check it out since bath bombs had always made bath time so much more fun when I was a kid. After I tried one bath bomb I knew I had to scope out their other products. I quickly went on to trying the fresh face masks, soaps, and many more bath bombs. It eventually got to the point where I was (and still am, of course) using multiple Lush products daily. I've never found a store that stands so similarly with what I stand for. Basically every product is vegan, absolutely no animal testing, natural products, and recyclable/reusable packaging. And I can't forget to mention how helpful and kind everyone who works there is. I know that anytime I walk into a store, someone is going to be pleasant about helping me out, willing to answer my questions, and eager to provide samples or demonstrate how to use a product.
Besides providing great products to improve my hair and skin and get me clean, Lush has done a tremendous job at making me a happier person overall. I never realized how much the little things could ever have such a long-term effect on my well-being. After every bath I take, I'm calm, rejuvenated, and so happy. And it isn't just the bath products that make me feel that way. Any time I use any of theirs, I feel good about what I'm using. Knowing that nothing from Lush is chemical ridden and harming to animals or the environment is really refreshing. Lush has changed the way I view body products and in all seriousness, has been life-changing.
