No Buying Toiletries in May Challenge

missykaren

Finally used up my S+G Calm One Calm All bubble bath. Might buy again, but it took ages to use. I am glad to be on to my old school bottle of Radox,

Also UU my FCUK signature shower gel. WNBA, smelt a bit over perfumed for my taste, but was a Christmas pressie and came in a really nice tin, so overall I win

Hi there . Well, I've not been quiet on this thread because I've been galivanting for sure! It's been so manic at work that it was blimmin awful! I think I sat down for a total of 10 minutes on Sunday night and that was to do my handover on Monday morning .
Lots of housework done but I just haven't had the time to be coming on here and yapping because I'm desperately trying to get on and finish my quilt top. It's my 10th wedding anniversary on the 9th and I want to give it to DH as an anniversary gift so I really must get on with it. I have only done 5 blocks so far out of a total of 25. Then there's the rest of it to do- eep!
Hence, if I'm quiet, I'm not MIA, I'm just not able to post. I still read along but haven't had any UU's lately. I reckon the shampoo is going to last all the way through June too because I barely need any now for my super fine short hair. I also only need to wash it every other day because it seems to stay cleaner for longer when it's short. Wierd huh?
Hope you guys are all ok. I won't be on here tomorrow unless I mage to get all of the next 6 blocks cut out tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed

Morning all, two final uu's to declare for May:

tesco coconut conditioner - this was surprisingly good and for 70p for 750mls was an absolute bargain

No7 dry oil pampering spray - this smells lovely but was bizarrely not very moisturising which was odd for an oil. Will not be buying again as I much prefer body butters

See you all on the June thread, xx

OMG DS3 has been accused of plararism by his uni(he is just about to finish there)his crime is not putting quotation marks in when he copies a text even tho he has referenced the work and has been doing this since he started 3 years ago and nothing has ever been said!I am so angry about it ,he has to go to a committee hearing and we are not allowed to go and support him,he could be marked down or even fail to get his degree:mad:to my mind his tutors are at fault for not noticing there was a problem over the last 3 years.will keep you all posted.

Just read this, rosemary. Does he mark the difference between the quote and his own writing in some other way? I.e. indented, separate paragraphs? There are different ways to show quotes in academic texts, but they should definitely be easily identifiable.

He should mention that there had not been a problem previously, and explain that his tutors haven't shown him the proper way to quote.

One last unexpected UU for May:
Sanctuary foot cream 30ml WIBA? This was an xmas present, it was nice enough with a pleasant scent, but I don't think it's worth paying a lot for foot cream.

See you all in June!

May was an appalling month for me. I seem to have developed an addiction to The Body Shop to complement my Lush addiction

This month's UUs:
Lush Banana Moon Soap - both full size and sample. WBA if I fancy a banana scent, it was fresh and pleasant.
Lush Bamboo Soap (sample) - now discontinued.
Lush Sunny Citrus Soap (sample) - WNBA as there are scents I like better.
Lush Randy Butter Soap - WBA as it's creamy and boozy and moisturising.
Lush Into Thin Air Massage Bar - WNBA unless they get rid of the mung beans (I have a feeling I've already typed this!).
The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Butter - WBA - smells delicious and moisturises really well.
Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub - WBA definitely, smells absolutely delicious and scrubs really well. More of a winter scrub though.
Lush Gumback Express Shower Smoothie - WNBA. It smelled lovely and did a good job of scrubbing, but it was expensive and I had to use quite a lot per application.
Lush Ice Blue Shampoo - smelled nice and helped minimise dandruff but a bit drying for my hair. Might buy it again.
Lush Forever In Bloom Conditioner - designed for fine hair but was surprisingly good for my dry hair, helped keep it smooth and sleek.
Udderly Smooth Hand Cream - good for the price but probably wouldn't buy it again as there are other creams I prefer.
Lush Pied de Pepper Foot Lotion - I could have sworn I used this up last month. Oh well. I'd buy it again but not til the winter.
Lush Baby Face Cleanser - now discontinued
The Body Shop Satsuma Body Puree - I didn't like this, found it rather sticky.

INs for May (eek):
Soap & Glory Hocus Focus Lotion
Soap & Glory A Butter Suite (3 body butters in a box)
Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Lotion 500ml
Soap & Glory iFoam Shower Gel
Soap & Glory Endless Glove Hand Mask
Soap & Glory Sit Tight
Soap & Glory Feel the Knead Massage Soap

Hopefully you'll all have hurried over to the June thread now and won't see this :rotfl:

Finally a UU this month - Clinique 7 day face scrub cream mini from Glamour - WIBA? No left a soapy residue I don't like.

So I now have no face scrub at all! shocking. I like the greatest scrub of all from S&G and Time Delay one too but neither is a total holy grail. Off to research on Boots for a potential new one.
