100 day challenge take 3

Hi Sarah,

Just reporting back - I've just used the first Olay facial wash.

It is the Olay Regenerist Cleansers Daily Regenerating Cream Wash.
It remined me of the Microdeilvery Wash in some ways, maybe the exfoliating pieces are a bit larger in the Olay wash. With the £5 off voucher on Olay etc given out when you spend over £5 it cost £1.99 instead of £7.99. I don't think I would pay £7.99 for it but for £1.99 it is ok.

If you're already mixing a scrub in with the C+P - I would stick with that because I don't think there is that much difference really!

I'm trying the daily wash from Olay tomorrow and I'll let you know about that one as it only cost 86p with the voucher instead of £5.86 - here's hoping it is ok!

Now then a handcream - I've really struggled to find one that I like apart from L'Occitane. I quite like the Boots Expert Concentrated Hand and Nail Cream as it sinks in quite well if you massage it in well. The other 2 that aren't too bad are the Dove Pro Age - but it is a bit light for me really and the Johnson's 24 Hour Moisture Handcream which cost 97p on offer and to be fair is really quite good.

I'm still pulled towards L'Occitane (Honey and Lemon! I know but I like it!) and my search continues for a replacement on the high street!

Thanks, I think I'll stick with the current mix.... the St Ives is only £3.99 at work plus I get 10% discount....

I love L'Occitane hand creams too (the cherry blossom and shea butter are my favs) but the metal tubes really annoy me and I always think I've left loads in there when I throw it away! I'll take a look at the Dove and the Johnsons, I expect we sell those too... Thanks

Well done on the challenge and the weight loss. What a great addiction to have!!
Have you tried frozen grapes? A great alternative to ice cream and lollies if the weather heats up again!

That's some list Fedup! - you must have so much more space at home.

Sarah my favourite hand cream is Soap and Glory hand food. At the moment it's on offer in Boots and you can get a mini one (50ml) for £1.50 if you want to try it first or the big one is about £3. Have a big one on my desk at work, a little one in my handbag and a pump one by the sink at home which I got for Christmas

Yes, that's a great addiction. You might as well be addicted to vitamins! My addiction is blackberries and strawberries at the moment. Are frozen grapes really that good? Hard to imagine...will have to try it.

I wish my addiction was that healthy- mine is Diet coke!! At least I have the caffeine free version!
I love frozen grapes but I guess not everyone will

Thats a huge list fedup. well done :T
Well i managed to do it bought no bubble bath, cakes, biscuits, moisturiser, perfume or make up. Still have loads left though so think next month will have to be the same unless i run out of something like moisturiser.

We managed to use 6 bottles of mouthwash, 8 bottles of shower gel in the past 30+ days. I can actually see out of the bathroom window :eek:.

roll on 1st August, see you all then!

*Jellie*

Well done Kezlou- good going not getting any of those things! :T
