Thank You, Celine (& Brother)

Knowing that Astro Girl's hands are a bit on the sensitive side, Eric Banana got her a small tube of L'occitane Shea Butter Mini Hand Cream (1 oz / 30 ml) and  a small tin of L'occitane Mini Pure Shea Butter (0.26 oz / 8 ml) last December. While the hand cream contains other ingredients which her hands are likely to be sensitive to, Astro Girl found the pure shea butter to provide relief without causing further irritation. 

However, that miserable small tin runs out rather quickly so it makes economic sense to get a bigger tin. From the L'occitane website, Eric Banana saw that a bigger tin of Pure Organic Shea Butter (4.9 oz / 150 ml) is indeed available but after checking at the Ngee Ann City outlet, he realised that the Singapore stores have run out of stock for that particular product for several months.

As someone who subscribes to the concept of globalisation, Eric Banana was trying to see how he could get a tin from overseas. As it turned out, he was talking online with Celine, whose brother happened to be in Amsterdam then, so she got him to keep a look-out. And he really went out of the way and bought the shea butter:

Eric Banana and Astro Girl would like to convey their thanks to Celine and her brother for their help. It was really very nice of them :) Thank you!
