About ten years ago, The Body Shop brought out a limited edition line of ‘juicy’ body washes and I became completely and utterly obsessed with the coconut and lime variant. I discovered it while in London and made a point of buying up as many bottles as I could afford and months later, when I’d used up the very last one, felt utterly miserable. Kinda like this…

Fortunately, I’ve just discovered this little guy:

It’s EXACTLY the same juicy, fresh lime-addled scent with just the slightest hint of coconut. Just one sniff and I immediately feel both both invigorated and relaxed and whisked off to a happy place that looks a lot like this:

It smells so good, in fact, that I wish to God they’d make a body spray or a candle too. I want to spend the rest of my life in a cloud of NSI’s sparkly coco-lime fabulosity! I also like that it’s a great moisturiser too as it’s infused with both jojoba and grape seed oil. It’s also got some kind of mild pearlescent in it because it leaves your skin with a very subtle healthy-looking ‘glow’.
At the rate I’m going, I’ll have used up my 59ml bottle by the end of the week. When I do, however, I’ll be sure to buy the big 237ml one (R200) from my closest Dream Nails nail salon. As it is I’m looking forward to trying out their Polish Pro mani which I’m told is pretty much the same thing as Shellac and Gelish, but not as expensive.
Love, love

Update: Karis Piss stopped by earlier to pick up her half of our latest Forever 21 haul. I gave her the lotion to sniff and she also agrees that it’s well and truly kifftastic…
Aaaah… you had me at the ugly doggy wearing a jersey!!!
Woolworths are now also making coconut and lime body goodies. Go give them a sniff 😉
I have and I like them, but they’re totally Meh with a capital M in comparison to this boy… x x x
