My biggest indulgence

My biggest indulgence (next to a certain girl I travel many miles to see each month) is Lush Waylander Rhassoul soap, which was formerly known, when it was stocked in stores, as Middle Earth Turns To Mud (a name I suspect the Tolkien estate objected to; note that I've also seen it given as "Middle Earth Turns to Rock," though that might be a different product). Though with tax and shipping it costs around $10 a bar, and can now only be bought online, I love its muddy texture - it is actually made with mud! - and am very fond of the patchouli scent, which people I meet may detect wafting hippie-like from me over the next weeks, since I finally broke down and re-upped my supply. (My last order was in 2009, and kept me going for a few years). I just took a luxurious bath, and am pleased that I finally smell like myself again. The best soap I've encountered anywhere. Wish I could actually afford it, this was a bit of a daft purchase...
