Cash Money Hand Soap: LeNOSE is now live for friends and family!

I'm So Fancy My Soap Smells Like Money

This limited-edition luxury hand soap literally smells like fresh $100 bills. If you don’t know what fresh $100 bills smell like because you were born after paper money was replaced by Apple Pay and meme coin crypto scams, then you’ll be happy to learn this fragrance features notes of clean linen, cool ink, delicate iris, and attainable wealth.

Loop Switch 2: Charli XCX & Troye Sivan are the reason i lost half of my first pair of loops (a single loop, if you will). It was at some hazy point during the  SWEAT tour set at Primavera in Barcelona 2025 (RIP diva, you died doing what you loved).

Needless to say, these loops right here are an UPGRADE, as not only do they match my silver hoop earrings, which are my entire personality, but they also have different SETTINGS so you can tune in or out depending on your vibe or level of overstimulation.

my only complaint is that the new cases come open a little too easily sometimes, so i don't feel safe attaching it to anything and risk losing my second set in what will presumably be a far less iconic way.

Sticky Dates Shower Gel: A midnight doomscroll, and there she is — Leah Kateb, triple Leo and Persian Princess of reality TV, practically glowing as she sings the praises of Lush Sticky Dates Shower Gel.

I’m not that easily influenced, I lied to myself, but three clicks, one checkout, and a small fortune later, I had a bottle of sweet-smelling magic on the way. Blame it on TikTok’s hypnotic pull or the science of social proof, but suddenly, smelling like a decadent dessert felt essential to my physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.

I was low-key hoping I’d hate it (for the sake of my future bank balance), but no — this isn’t just body wash. It’s an indulgent sensory experience, made with softening date syrup, aromatic vanilla, and luxurious sandalwood oil. BRB making this scent my entire personality.

So here I am, sniffing my own arm in public — a willing victim of my trashy TV habits, the evil algorithm, and the dopamine hit that comes with a well-spent impulse buy in late-stage capitalism.

A really nice robe: I’m an ambitious collector of “fancy” robes, which I then get lazy and forget to wear around the house. The fix? Pack them for long trips and use them in hotel rooms. It instantly makes your stay feel more glamorous and romantic, even if you’re in an airport holiday inn.
