Reviews: Ponche from Lush

Ponche from Lush is a bath soap that men will steal from their girlfriends.  
The smell is earthy and sweet.  One comes out of the shower ready to get festive for the season.  And it will remind you of the time you enjoyed a sunset on the Mexican Beach, drinking Ponche, and hugging your favorite Senorita.  Okay, I haven't been to Mexico, but I can dream, right?

So girls if you want to make your special someone feel special than definitely buy this shower Gel.  Also Ponche has not been tested on Animals, so there will be no guilty vibes inside any bottle.        

PONCHE SHOWER GEL

Christmas

This packs a ponche – with orange juice and a shot of tequila

Inspired by traditional Mexican Christmas punch – this shower gel is bright, boozy, fruity and uplifting.

Freshly squeezed orange juice, plum and cinnamon infusions, a good shot of tequila and a fruity fragrance all add up to your own little party in the shower.  But this is one party punch that will hit the spot without leaving you with a headache the next day! 

Feel refreshed and ready to face the morning.   So good, you will want to have another one for the road.

Mayfair by the Lake: Haikus

Dad and I hike up

through dewy laid state park, 

gray slug crawls on moss.

                        - Gregorio Roth

Up way too early, 

have to put up the Artwork,

I need coffee now!

                 - Jessica Baylor Rothbard 

These Haiku were written by my wife and I, the morning of Mayfair by the Lake. The influence for Gregorio Roth's poem is a recollection of a hike my dad and I took at Ecola State Park, Oregon.   It was a rainy day and we witnessed a Slug slurping up a leaf; it was amazing to see something so slow, yet progressing steadily consuming a whole leaf.    I hope you enjoyed them.

Due South Fridays: Holidays in Florida

Halloween in Central Florida is a big deal.

Winter holidays in Florida are a big deal. Why is this?For one reason; the weather does not change, it still is hot outside. For another; trees do not change color and loose their leaves.
So how do we make up for the weather's indifference to time?

We decorate. We create fake snow. We hold haunted houses.

Jessica my wife, and I went to the Bedlam Haunted house last night.
The house was mental. The theme of the house is an insane asylum.
Everyone there will drive you insane, for you can check in anytime you want to but you can never find the door knob to exit; for I had become one of them and did not want to leave and face the cold cold cold world.

The house is a fundraiser for the Winter Haven based ridge art foundation.
