    pop it on a puff and lather up in the shower then...but seriously you don't do baths? I love them just for the 'me' time, plus I hate shaving my legs in the shower:rotfl:

    Nope, I've never liked baths. I don't like getting wrinkly in the water! I have had one bath in the last approx 8 years! (I shower daily!!) I live on my own so I get me-time whenever :) I can see how baths could be a nice escape though

  • Haha - you all guilted me into having a shower and then doing all the necessary "after work" which I am very lax at. I even put a face mask on (now to wait and see if my skin reacts).

    I'll join flutterby as I "Don't do baths" either. I'm too short for my bath so trying to stay above the water gives me neck ache. :o

    I'm another bath do-er to shave my legs- although I'm too tall for ours so I have to sit up.

  • Another one who doesn't do baths? maybe I'm the freak ;)

    I'm too tall too so that's another reason why I don't like them. I'm 6ft.

    hello everyone
    i will be joining in again this year, have always had a real addiction to any make up and toilitries and always have a mass of stuff in my stash. Kept up with the challenge last year and despite there being some weak moments i have been using stuff up. i am someone who has in the past suffered from saving the good stuff for a special occasion and never finding that occasion, hence having to throw out 2 very expensive lipsticks that had barely been used.
    off to have a pampering shower and make a dent in some of my products!

  • Quick question, can I use shampoo as shower gel? I have 9 cheap hotel shampoos which my hair won't like me for using so want to use them other ways.

    I don't see why not. Other uses: use in a bowl of hot water as foot soak, to clean makeup brushes, as handwash or some posters on here use unwanted toiletries to clean the bathroom sink with!
  • I am also in this month my mission this year is to start using up my lipsticks and lip glosses and not buy anymore!

    Well I'm in too, sadly I think I have more toiletries since I started reading here... :) but I am also using more and enjoying them so thats good!! I have between 2-5 of the things i am using so only need to buy some shampoo this month :D

    I am now going to be strict with myself - previously I was reading for ideas of good stuff as much as anything!!! I am going to post if I buy anything else now - apart from the S&G bundle winging it's way towards me!! I am also going to start putting £2 in a pot for each use up. First one today UU Pistashio and Almond body butter - WIBA maybe, I loved the smell, but at the moment I love S&G beyond all else!

    I am definately a bath girl - and got given a load of shower gels... I shall be using them for bubbles!

    Good luck all, and thanks for all the wonderful reviews you give :D
