    Little update to see how I have been doing
    • Committing to decluttering my spare stash listing at least once a week
    • Get make up into one bag not three,
    • Continue taking lunch for work everyday
    • Pay off DP Card with stash sales profit in next 100 days
    Spare stash declutter

    7 lipsticks and 7 lipglosses listed on ebay and one eyeliner brush and mineral eye shadow, plus everything else on there at the moment (36 items)

    Then all the make up bags are decluttered. 4 items chucked away, sold everything else I didn't use or won't open.

    All skincare decluttered via ebay or using up continuously

    Just remembered maybe a couple of shower gels to sell - will see or maybe keep them.

    Had 4 make up bags

    Have got make up into 2 bags, brushes and unopened foundation into another one. Lipstick and glosses one gone!

    Lunches
    Maybe bought lunch another 2 times after last update, overall not too bad

    Dorothy Perkins Card
    Paid off!

    Exercise
    Hmmm......just dog walking as usual

    Conclusions

    Skin terrible due to a very stressfull period of time
    Some weird skin type rash like eczema has appeared under my eyes. Not had this for 16 years and the relationship fall out has brought it back.
    Wrinkles appearing on a daily basis in the most weird places (my chin!)
    Great!

    HI all!!!

    Although I've not officially signed up to this one, I have continued from the lst one - still not buying toiletries unless completely out of something. Look for special offers when I need to get more. Have only really had to get dental care, shampoo/conditioner and ladies stuff!! Also, still only getting my paper on a saturday. Am reading the papers when coming out of the gym or go the library.

    Am doing really well with this. For the next one, will try and add in a new challenge.........

    Hi all,

    I haven't been on in a while but have updated my list, seems to have gone up, weird! Anyway, this morning I finished a pack of facial wipes, ok, but I prefer cleanser and water, and a perfume, yeah! Unfortunately it was one of my favourites (a limited edition one) which I knew I couldn't buy but was holding on to it for dear life. Decided to get a grip and use it up.

    Hi everyone, after my past blip I've been very strong:j Ive finished a sample of skinceuticals Aox 20 which was very good but way out of my budget to purchase. Surely skincare doesn't need to be that expensive to be effective?:mad: I also used up an el cheapo Te Tao conditioner which I am very glad to have finished as not pleasant. Although this same brand conditioner i had used b4 and was quite good but was for a different hair need, so there are some good cheapies around its just a bit hit and miss finding them. I thought that surely I must be putting a dent into my haircare supplies so I did another count and I now have 20 shampoos and conditioners(combined) which has gone down but is still quite embarassing:o and I haven't brought any shampoo/conditioner since the first challenge altho my mum and MIL quite often leave theirs behind.

    FedUp- I hope your skin improves, it probably is stress my skin does exactly the same thing. Take care.

    After 3 days of putting layers of Decleor Hydra Floral Face Mask on my skin looks better and the L'Occitane 100% Shea butter on my rhino eye skin is the only thing I can use in this area without it stinging or irritatingly sore and dry.

    Used up a L'Occitane Honey and Lemon Bath 250ml tonight, who knows how long I have had this for. Tempted to buy another one then realised I had other things I could use in a bath stacked away. So must focus on these first then rethink what to buy when they are gone. Probably about another 12mths worth of bath stuff to get through in reality!

    Very tempted by another Hydra Floral face mask after its magical skin repair job it has done this week!

    Welcome morocha!

    I was exactly the same a year ago, much more under control now thanks to this thread.

    Good luck with your journey!

    Welcome aboard! We're about halfway through the challenge, so you can either start your 100 days from now, or join us now and start a new challenge when we do (whenever that is, I have totally lost where we are again :o ) Selling on ebay is a good way of getting rid of stashes :D

    And relax! Too many travel sizes, doesn't matter what the lovely Jill says, it's actually not that great value for money - thank you [STRIKE]God[/STRIKE] Martin, I am cured :D
