    Hi everyone. I missed last night's pamper party as my little boy was poorly.
    He was up from 2.45am aswell being sick and so is asleep now - poor thing:(. You all sound so scrubbed and polished and sweet smelling after your pamper party but I look horrendous and smell of vomit - never mind - can we book another party sometime soon please?:)
    Just found this useful youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h022_ZDnv0&NR=1&feature=fvwp - about facial massage

    Thanks for the link as it has spurred me on the buy some Tisserand Peach Kernel Cold Pressed Oil (from amazon) and a blend called peaceful night - a mix of Bergamot, Lavender, Sandalwood, Clary Sage, Frankincense, Mandarin & Vetiver from materiaaromatica.com. Can't wait to try them. I did want to buy the oils individually but it is too expensive for me atm.

    BTW, Happy Birthday Vivh. Hope you enjoy your birthday! :bdaycake:

    Couple of ins for me today, is my birthday so they were gifts. My lovely kids bought me M&S Isis perfume and body spray, I love this and it is a really good likeness to L'eau d'issey, the m&s stuff is a few pounds a bottle and the Issey Miyake stuff is £48. Also a clinique gift set containing 50ml moisture surge, mini de-puffing eye roll on and mini superbalm gloss.

    Happy birthday vivh. Your gifts sound lovely.

    Is it wrong that I'm already thinking of what to ask for for Mother's Day?

    haven't managed to catch up past pay 31 yet but lunch break is about to end.

    I have to say that you ladies are very very norty!!!! I've never once bought that magazine which may not be names but in Mr A's last night i actually went looking for it. There were quite a few with the two types of moisturiser in them but eventually i talked myself out of buying them as i don't need them and would only be buying to keep up with the rest of you lol.

    but if you still need them there's lots left in Stowmarket's Mr A's!

    I looked at this offer, looked at ASOS and then closed the window saying 'there is nothing I need'. :A
    Also walked out of the shop where they still have everything available in THAT magazine offer. :A

    AND walked away from the No. 7 counter empty handed - had been reccy-ing the No. 7 hair spritz. It's an extra 50p in my work store so gonna get it nearer to home with my voucher...a minor offence when it occurs. I don't have a problem with hair products, my hair is thick and frizzy. Buying products are a chore. Mustn't moan though, had a friend who suffered hair loss....

    Boyf got stuck at work last night so no pancakes for me. Had a big bath and scrub up instead :)
    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    Oh - nearly forgot - Red scanned in foal with twins, so its good news and bad news really - horses cant carry twins, they usually abort about 10 months or so into their gestation, so the normal procedure is to pinch one out. Currently the two embryos are too close together to be able to do that safely - so they are waiting until Thursday and having another go.

    so hurrah, but quietly - and I will be much happier when there is just the one left. :)

    Hope everything goes well :o

    Happy birthday from me too.....

    You're a chatty lot, its taken me ages to catch up... I multi quoted too much and lost them all, so apologies in advance if i've missed anything/anyone :p

    Can't believe i missed the pamper party last night, so i'll have mine tonight (think a couple of us are having this?) I,ve been a bit down this week, so looking forward to OH getting up so i can make a start :D

    Reading through what you use, i've reaslised i dont have any of the following in my stash:
    cleanser
    toner
    face mask
    hair mask
    foot cream
    cotton socks
    Does cleansing and toning have benefits? I do have a BS voucher to use if anyone could recommend anything?

    also BS have a half price offer on shea butter items until 14/03 ;)

    Lyndsey - hugs to you.....

    Celebrate - I love the smell of Sanctuary too....
