if it smells like food, and it cooks like food...

afunaI dropped by the echo store (eco-friendly store) today, and I bought myself (among other things) coffee body scrub, choco-vanilla lip balm, and peppermint lip balm.
It seemed like a brilliant idea at the time, but it's now past midnight, I just took a shower, and I am hungry. There is, perhaps, such a thing as smelling too luscious.
I also managed to drop by National Bookstore and bought office supplies (seriously! cartolina and bristol paper for product shoot (*cough* yarn) backgrounds, sketch pads, sketch pads, more sketch pads, graphing notebooks, ring binders (to hold my needles :D), and just... stuff!
I stumbled across a Filipino recipe book written in Filipino, and now I'm even hungrier than before.
It's a good thing I picked up some chocolate from the echo store. First time I've ever seen local artisan chocolate, so I couldn't resist :-)
I have milk chocolate, barako (coffee) chocolate, labuyo (chili pepper) chocolate. Excited to try them all *_*

Yes. In the States we have a chain of bath and body stores
that seems hell-bent on world dominationthat makes all these lovely, fruit-scented everythings that are just good enough to eat. (I'm talking about Bath and Body Works here.) A few years ago, they came out with body wash that was real food scented: cupcakes, frosting, cinnamon buns, cherry pie, sweet tea with lemon, etc. I had a few, and they were torture because they smelled so good...but now I'm hungry.We have a similar problem with Lush scents. Aliyah likes food scents so we end up smelling like grape jam or something. (One of the winter soaps Lush came out with was purple and smelled like grape jam. I swear. And Aliyah loved it. She bought a chunk that weighed nearly two pounds.)

I am a sucker for sweet fruity smells; there are a few things that leave me dizzy, but the ones I love I really love the smell! That is so unbelievably mean of them ahahahaha. Also sounds incredibly tasty and tempting and ooooh.
