    Put the money straight into savings and think about what ever you are saving for. I ask myself 'how will it make my life better?' and if i have not got any good reasons that puts me right off. HTH

    Put the extra money towards your Christmas presents for this year. You'll be SO happy with yourself in December!

    I told my OH his face was dry and needed a moisturiser :D Used a little bit up!

    Anyone else noticing a difference with using products regularly? My skin is glowing after using face scrub all the time and my feet feel all soft :D

    Lol, already got most of my presents and do the money neutral... will just keep reminding myself that I can't justify spending that much on myself and think of how many crappy hours I have to work for a few nice baths...grrr to lush!!!
  • used up flake away by s&g. but it was only a small tub. i wouldnt buy this again as i found it very abrasive.i mainly used it on my feet.

    found a sanctuary hand scrub which i picked up for a pound ages ago so i am adding this to my hand routine :rolleyes:

    i'm also nearing the end of 2 black pots from lush. this will give me 5 so i will bomb down and get my free face mask probably by monday. :j

    I snapped today and bought some conditioner. The one that is charles worthington Moisture ( from 99p stores) its lovely when washed and that day, but if you leave it and dont wash it the next day, it made my hair knotted and very painful today. I only have one portion left and OH can use that :p I battled with myself and went into sainsburys and bought their cheapie coconut conditioner. I really love this stuff! It repaired my hair straight away :j

    I know I love this stuff, and at only 58p- its bargain. So why dont I use it all the time? "well its not very glamorous is it" I am literally a hostage to packaging :confused:

    I am becoming more concerned about myself every day I do this challenge :eek:
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Hi JT6 definately noticed a difference, my skin is looking great, especially my upper arms and shins, they were a bit dry and pimply and are much smoother.

    Also top tip, i dont know if its just me but find my under arms get really dry in winter, reckon its all the wooly jumpers. But find using some body scrub on them makes them really smooth, i only ever tend to use it on my uper arms and legs.

    Well am now nice and cosy in my pjs and will start pampering my hands and feet in a bit. See you later

    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. (A.C)
  • just think how fabulous we're all going to look in a whole month of all this pampering. it is interesting to see that everyone's seeing improvements :j makes it worthwhile!

    I've finished off a Molton Brown bath gel today and hubby just knocked a pot of my Body Lotion all over the bedroom carpet so that has helped but not quite what I wanted!
