    OK have finally caught up with you all so am posting my first UU of Feb:-

    Tube of Hair Rules Blow out your Kinks serum. This stuff is fabulous and I have another tube ready in the stash but unfortunately it can't be bought in the UK (got it in the US when on holiday). If anyone can recommend a good serum for use with GHDs let me know.

    Another £1.00 in the pot. At this rate my Clinique goodies won't cost me a bean.

    Goodnight everyone. Chat soon. x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Hope everyone is okay.:)

    I bought mine from a certain source that begins with e, for £7.99 including postage, still a few colours available - not that I am trying to enable you or anything;)

    Nails Inc a&e base enrichment coat - WNBA - didn't really see a difference in my nails even after a whole bottle

    early start as Dh has his conference call at 7.30(8.30 europe time so he loses an hour every week plus I get woken at 6.30:mad:)plus he had to go to the company dinner last night(small portions high price food and business talk:()and didn,t get home till 12 then got into bed saying are you awake?(don't you hate that?and puts his cold body on me saying it's minus 6 out there.....yes that is why I went to bed at 10 as even with a fire I was cold!!!!)
    anyway I digress as usual:rotfl:started to use the Liz Earle polish/cloth thing today and was surprised as thought it would be like a face scrub,loved the minty smell tho but don't know I would choose to use a cloth every day and supposedly air dry it....what it this weather?sorry it's on the radiator!

    Do you use it every other day? I find I forget then end up using once every 3 or 4 days, I wondered about using it every day to start as my nails are in a very poor state (health problems mostly), one of the QVC presenters confessed to doing this for the first couple of weeks. Any nail hints would be appreciated I have enough lovely polish to fill a small warehouse, and only nubbins to paint it on.:)

    Is it your birthday this month Jarus? What date? Mine is on 14 Feb and I'll be treating myself to some Clinique goodies, probably mascara and eyeliner.

    Mine is on the 9th. I think I might treat myself to some new clothes, I got quite a few tioletries for Christmas xx

    I paint it on, and leave it, use it as a basecoat, remember to top it up every so often, forget about it for a bit then wonder why all my nails have broken...

    Basically, even using at as a basecoat and therefore changing it when my nail polish chips still helps to get my nails in better condition.
