No Buying Toiletries in April Challenge!

lynseydee

Forgot there would be an April thread so copying this over from the March thread.

Have managed to finish off a small body lotion and hubby has finished off his shower gel 34 and 77 respectively left :j

I hope no one minds me saying how many of each item I have left, it just makes me feel better typing numbers as they're coming down, kind of like a good feeling despite still having loads to work my way through.

Finished off that shampoo. Phew, one less in the stash. Have also used 1/4 of a bottle of conditioner this evening doing DD's hair and mine too with the nitty gritty. I'm clear but she wasn't. It gives me the heeby geebies when she gets nits and makes me itchy for weeks after :eek:.

Why has it taken me until now to discover Palmers Cocoa Butter? I bought the concentrated one for my feet, as it was only 1.99 in Superdrug and I love it. It's not as intense as I'd like for my feet (think I'll be getting the Boots foot cream again) but I've been slathering it on my knees and elbows and it's definitely making a difference. The smell is fab.

Still working my way through my Lush stash (not really a chore) and found a lovely Abode Aroma cocoa butter soap that I got free while back that I'd forgotten about, which is absolutely lovely.

Noticed DH has finally got stuck into the Philosophy Spearmint shower gel (limited edition from a couple of years ago) - he must like it as he's going through it at a rate of knots.

I'm now going to sort through a few boxes and see what can go or get used next.

Oooh a lovely new thread for April.

Used up 2 deodorants today.
Went to work with 1 armpit smelling of Dove Go Fresh, the other armpit smelling of Soft & Gentle Cool Breeze.

Hope no one noticed.:D

Thankyou both for the congrats - sadly no,dont own the colt (though I tried !!) have to make do with his mother - who I love very very very much... and am putting in foal to a cob x this year, but Im planning to put her to a TB next year for me to keep and race it... with a bit of luck she'll have a filly and I can keep the line going !!! (thats the plan anyway - I dare say it will change at least a million times before the foal next year is born!!)

Only purchases in March were a mouthwash that was reduced to £1 for my DS and some tampons at the train station on the way to London for a meeting.

Planning to not buy anything this month either.
