i absolutely adore this body lotion. my friend L turned me on to it. this is the first vegan body lotion i've ever tried that actually works. it has the bunny seal--no animal ingredients or testing. it's also fragrance-free (bonus!), and it absorbs nicely. it has completely alleviated the dryness and itchiness that used to plague the skin on my lower legs, and i love the way it makes the skin on the rest of my body feel too. nothing else i've ever tried has worked this well. really. they must never stop making this stuff. my only complaint is that they use unnecessary packaging--there is no reason to put a bottle of lotion inside of a cardboard box, imo. i don't quite understand it, because i don't think shikai packages any of their other products this way. i actually submitted a complaint about this on their website. maybe they'll listen.

back to writing! today is a university holiday, so i'm home doing diss work. i could get used to this...
