Hidden Treasures of Georgetown part 2

I'm back with my segment Hidden Treasures Of Georgetown and I have even more places to write about! So here we GO! First place is a funky cool store named LUSH. Lush is a boutique (known nationwide) that sells handmade soaps, lotions, shower gels, lip balm...etc. The awesome thing about Lush is that alot of their wonderful creations are vegan! The Lush Team is also eco savvy, no pretty bottles or wrap junk here! Lush has started petitions to ban paperbags as they just lead to a growing problem in our landfills AND streets! The lovely ladies in Lush are some of the nicest gals I have ever met in a store. They showed me their affordable goods. Some of my favorites are White Wedding $5.95 (You never saw this one coming,lol). White Wedding is a vegan bath fizz that smells just like "the perfect bridal bouquet" with ylang ylang, begarmot and of course rose. With a discount for bulk orders this would be the perfect gift to your bridesmaids, your guests or to the bride herself. Looking for something Blue? Why not bathe in it! Yes another bath fizz, Big Blue also $5.95 is a great gift for the nervous bride to be, just the thing to get her back into the wedding spirit. The Ring of Rose Butercream smells just like...well you know. its a super moisturizer that softens the skin. 3.5 oz $9.45. Fair Trade Foot Lotion is a personal favorite of mine. For $19.95, you get a natural pain reliever, a pink lotion, super moisturizer with cocoa butter all in one, a super gift for the bride with happy feet! Finally want to have a hot bachelorette party? Drop the Sex Bomb! I mean bath fizz, silly. for $ 6.15 you can get this sexy bath fizz and have a great night. www.lush.com
Next Stop is Potomac Wines & Spirits at 3100 M Street. This fine wines and spirits store is a great place to find deals and exotic wines from all around the world! Known as the source of hard to find items especially ethnic wines and spirits. Here you can find Turkish, Portuguese, South African, Kosher and even wines from Spain. The owner Steven Feldman says that the DC liqueur laws are different from other neighbor states like MD and VA and that gives him the competitive edge. With a 15% off ea case for weddings, a budget bride cant lose. Some of my favorite and most current deals t Potomac Wines & Spirits are Savannah $4.99 a chardonnay from South Africa, Don Salvador Rosado 2007 $5.99 a rose from Spain, Circles Edge $5.99 an another chardonnay $5.99 and Veuve Moisans "Cuve Extra" Blanc de Blancs Brut $9.99 for sale $7.99.
