Lush is a close second best, but Archibald Sisters in Olympia is the best lotion/soap shop. Lush had some great stuff, but fell short of some of the scents that I adore...
Yay for you, though! Archibald isn't a chain store, so you'd never get one. You get the best lotion/soap/cosmetics store outside of Olympia!
Yes, they do have a website: http://www.archibaldsisters.com/
I always go to the store loacation, because aside from great lotions they also have a wide selection of doo-dads, gizmos, and toys. Fun stuff. Hard to visit the store if you're on the east coast, though.
I primarily adore them because of their French Vanilla scent. It isn't cloying like most places - it's very fresh and tasty. You can't get it mixed into most lotions over the website, but they'll mix it special if you ask at the store. Mmmmm stardust french vanilla lotion...
Mmm, I love the juniper one! I will have to try the peppermint one now that they are stopping making the minty liquid one that I've been enjoying.
They're also coming out with solid conditioner bars, one of which sounds like it would be good on my hair. I'm waiting for them to hit North America (they're already on the lush.co.uk page).
