    2 days in and I'm doing well so far, managed to resist the urge to splurge on some sales I saw today. I'm really rather excited about using up a lot of my makeup in the 100 days!

    Of course you can Kerry Woman! You can either start your 100 days from now, or you can jump in where we are (where are we?:confused:) and then re-start when we do... choice is yours! Either way, welcome aboard :D

    Thanks. Think I will jump in where everyone is at, and re-start when you all do. Hope that makes sense!:rolleyes:

    I did buy a body scrub today but I have barely enough for one more use in the one I have at the moment and I need to be soft and smooth for Christmas. Other than that I haven't bought anything unnecessarily.

    Early days at present, but am sticking to the challenge. Did walk to work this morning, so got part of my exercise for the week.
