I Break The News

Hello everybody, Welcome back to your favorite blog about bath bombs - a true Lush invention. The other day I discovered a Lush store in my area! And when I say my area, I mean the next big city called: Leipzig. If you are having a stressful day, there is nothing quite like a quick stop at a Lush store, to turn it around.  A colorful space, deliciously scented, sometimes even sparkly products and mostly made with natural ingredients. I always enjoy going to the Lush store.  Just last year, a brand new, big Lush Spa opened across from my previous office in London.

Hello everyone and welcome back - to your favorite Blog! After watching many interesting TED talks on YouTube over the years and often wondering, why they seemingly never took place where I lived and why I had never been able to attend one, it finally happened this year! What an informative start to 2025. The event was called: 'TEDxLondon - Festival of Ideas' and took place last Sunday. I also heard they are in their 6th year already! The day was split into two sessions, with several speakers taking the stage in the morning and the other half after lunch. On one hand, I thought it was good to learn more about a variety of issues I was not deeply aware of up until this point; on the other hand, I felt somewhat helpless learning about yet another crisis that I might not be able to do much about.
