For the Daily Challenge I commandeered my niece’s kitchenette. Was able to take a SOTD photo before getting kicked out. My niece put me on childcare duty (she has three babies).
The TSF Fantasy Donut smush arrived courtesy of the Reigning Lather Games Champion u/Priusaurus! Great to have vets around here encouraging the newcomers.
Fantasy Donut smells like a very sugary, glazed donut (with sprinkles). And what a lather! Easily one of the top 5 lathers I’ve attained thus far—virtually effortless.
I like to pair booze with desserts (especially rye whisky with pecan squares, for some reason) so I chose HoM Smash. The peach note was much more pronounced to me than the bourbon. But peach is great in desserts too.
Cherry also works well in desserts, so I chose Tom Ford Cherry Smoke. I had high hopes for this one (cherry + smoke—what’s not to like?). Unfortunately to me it smells less like cherry or smoke and more like the restroom at a moderately fancy Indian restaurant.
Today in Brush Strokes we feature the sculptural works of Janine Antoni, who works in chocolate and (wait for it)…LATHER!
