Lush Blue Skies shower gel 500g: This took me aaaggggggeeeeessss to use and finally I just threw the last lot in the bath for bubbles tonight! WIBA? Yes, I find the scent really calming, perfect for an evening bath.
Lush Calacas Shower Jelly: Really fruity, sweet scent. WIBA? Well it's discontinued now but I hate the shower jellies full stop!

Nice to see you back Tara
.
Noynoy - Is there something really nice in your stash that you have been saving for best or for a treat? Now may be a good time to open it and get stuck in! There's always the freebies board as well if you need a little fix. Alternatively, are you likely to be asked what you want for Xmas by friends/family? If you know you are going to get some goodies at Xmas maybe it will keep you on the straight and narrow for a little longer?
I have been using an oil burner tonight to scent the lounge. I've used a Body Shop Vanilla Spice oil. The room smells lovely. I've got a stash of oils and scented candles and have challenged myself to make a real effort over the winter to use them regularly.0 -

Use ups:
Clynol hair treatment mask - WIBA no. Was ok, nothing special. I still seem to be on that journey of finding the ultimate hair treatment.
Champneys relaxing bath - WIBA no. Lovely smell. But I'm now trying to avoid perfumed / soapy bath foams. Will now try adding a few drops of lavender oil to the bath instead.
Hello to tara, good to see you back. Whats the news? Well mainly that b**ts and b*** s*** continue to tempt us! That we have had lots of newbies. That katie clampet who first devised this thread deserves a damehood.Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

Fellow devotee reporting for duty ma'am! All thanks to you! Love the stuff. £3 instead of Clinique £15 odd quid. Plus really nice to use with cotton wool pads over your eyes (like beauty salons do when applying a mask).
I now need an effective not too strong smelling nail polish remover.
Also a really good hair treatment/conditioner for highlighted hair. :ADeclutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage
