Ach im fine.....had a good cry! In fact, im probably not quite finished yet LOL! I just hate the fact i wasn't there....my first guinea pig died in my arms when she was 8,it was horrendous, but i was there, which was oddly comforting. I just don't want the other one to get lonely!

I'm so sorry you lost your fur baby. I know how much pets mean to us, and I'm just really sorry

Finally finished a Bath&Body Works lotion. Citrus Basil or some combination of the name. The matching shower gel has about two showers left in it. When it's cold here, I go through lotion like there is no tommorrow. Think they've discontinued the line.

Now, I know a lot of you travel to the US for holidays. Word of Advice? Stay out of Bath&Body Works stores. They are always doing some sort of promotion "buy3, get 3" or spend $30 get $10 off your next purchase. And then they'll often throw in a free travel size something or other. Or the travel sizes will be on for something 3 for $2.

Honestly the stuff breeds under the sink!

So, now I'll start their Pink Grapefruit lotion, 'cause I've got matching gel somewhere.

I really liked the idea pages back about one fruity and one floral in rotation.

Oh, and Axe/Lynx? When my sons were in junior high school, the stuff was banned for two reason. It stinks and caused sneezing fits and the kids figured out how to make flame throwers out of it!

haha, the worst is the bath & body works outlet store where you get like 20 items for less than a tenner hahaha

Hmmmmmm it gets fab reviews but I'd have to see something pretty amazing to spend £250 on a face cream! I know I have a toiletries 'problem' but even I have limits!

I've used several Sisley products, and for some reason, their products always irritate my eyes. I guess that's a good thing as I don't fancy spending that much money on skincare.

An unitentional UU Olay Total effects Sensitive 30ML - This was for the Savvy Circle trial and only half way through the trial, UU quickly as DH has been using it as well as he ran out of his moisturizer and I won't let him use my other stuff (due to repurchase price), So looks like will have to get another bottle of it, but I have vouchers and I think its on offer and DH liked it and was wanting to use it anyway. I will try and get another bottle tonight and we'll share it till Trial ends and then he can keep it. Still undecided on this as an item for myself.

I still had a slight rash this morning so did use some foundation this morning before work. Unfortunately must not have moisturized enough as have some lovely dry scabby looking patches now - so not a good look at all. On the plus side its covered the rash and its a little bit more product used. I do need a better foundation, but already have 2 open ones and an unpoened BB Cream. Think it will be a while before I can start searching for my HG foundation.

well Poppy and Twiggy were house pigs, and Whisky, the one we had for 8 years before was a house pig.......i couldnt bear to think of them in the cold!

Yeah Twiggy was always a runt and was absolutly tiny when we got her. She always had a runny nose and some sort of respiratory problem. Poppy was top pig LOL When i was back at Christmas (they were at my mum and dads), Twiggy was horribly thin....and i just think has declined since then....obviously some sort of internal thing that noone could see!. She certainly had the best personality out of the two,was always squeaking when the fridge door was opened and biting the cage for food!. Poppy on the other hand, well, she is a bit stupid haha.....but i love her! She will miss her little friend. She was annoyed by her, but needed her! Im more sad for her losing a companion.......:(

Sorry about your dear little Twiggy, you may find that Poppy comes out of her shell, we have had this happen with dogs, having been sure that the one left behind would pine, and then found that it blossoms when not having to compete with a more outgoing personality.

Not sure if this will help you, but if you have foundation that is not moisturising enough, or just a bit heavy, put some in palm of hand or on weeny dish/lid from a jar and mix in some moisturiser, apply as needed, layering up where thicker coverage is needed, this gives a dewy look to heavier products. I appreciate that this may not work for those that need better coverage.

I will give this a go next time I use it, I usually try and moisturise before I use it but must have missed a few bits. This one has good coverage, and DH thinks it looks great on, but I find it really drys out my skin and feels really heavy when I'm wearing it. The other one I have open feels better on but according to DH doesn't look great on. I've actually thrown other foundations way, as they are just too dry on my skin.
