I'm a nope on flakes too. I've love a free lipstick in a different colour but, I don't want the chocolate.0 -
Hmm, I do have a big nose but it's the first thing anyone notices about me anyway and I've come to terms with it. It's part of me! vI've had short hair before and felt fab with it. I reckon I'll go for it!
I've not had a flake either btw!
I love that. Its great to hear someon being confident about a distinctive feature. Fwiw IMO a larger, aqualine nose can really make a face look dignified, noble. I'd like a more...distinctive nose...mines ok though, nothing to complain about!0 -
p.s. Am I the only one who hasn't bought a flake? :rotfl:Nope, I haven't either
But that might change tomorrow!
I haven't either ...and that will change today
Bad: Found another Olay face scrub at the back of the bathroom cupboard :eek:
Good:I'm working my way through the magazine-freebie-stuck-to-the-advert-sachet-stash. I had not realised how much product they held - I've got another 3 days worth of moisturiser to go before they are all gone!I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0 -

It's really hard this minimising toiletries - in that we're bombarded with offers...Body Shop and Tesco glitches....Buy a magazine get a "£10" product free... Buy a flake, win a lipstick....Aaarrrrgh!
Currently I'm doing ok with stuff like:
Hand cream (resisted a Nuxe one the other day);
Bubble bath/shower gel (I have some nice bits, although Original Source mint smells a bit like toothpaste!)
Not so good with:
Eye creams (as if buying more will eradicate my problems!)
Face creams (as above)
Hair products (if I don't like em from the off, then they dont get used up...)
Great pampering weekend everyone :ADeclutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

Morning girls!!! You are all doing so well, congrats from me.
I have had SUCH a pampering morning, it's been fab!! Have used up the following:- Tesco McAdam gloss shampoo - WIBA - yes, it was nice and I got it for 43p!!!
- Dior Intense Hydration face mask (freebie) - WIBA - would prefer to get it for free! :rotfl: (will put 50p in pot for this)
- 50ml pot of S&G Flake Away - WIBA - yes, and already have one full size pot in my stash (value £2.25). I am moving onto the Sugar Crush next though, can't wait (it smells HEAVENLY)
- Sanctuary body butter (150ml) - WIBA - yes, definitely (value £4). I've now started the BS Hemp body butter!!!
- Malmaison conditioner that I 'liberated' from one of their hotels last year - Would I nick it again? - no way, it was crap!!! Doesn't even deserve a token contribution to the savings pot. I'll update my sig with the new total.
p.s. Am I the only one who hasn't bought a flake? :rotfl:
I haven't either, have been entering for free on the flake.ie website using the code Mags30 gave me though! :rotfl:
Have sold 2 of my hatboxes on ebay - just got a plainjane to get shot of now, and the other hatbox (which is minus the sexy motherpucker and the blue body lotion cos Ive used both of those) - reckon its worth a try to sell???
