A question for today.

Does anyone else hide their stuff away when friends, family calling, 'cos you know they do not understand our "little stashing habits"

a lot of my stuff is so well hidden that even I don't know where it is :eek:

2 INS - shaving foam. Half price and i did need some (don't wanna use the Q of S stuff). Plus it was paid for out of a tip

:rotfl: I fear this is true with me as well. :eek:

I have to have things in sight in order to remember to use them. This means that my room looks like a chemist at the moment :eek: My OH always stares at it in wonder and says 'how can such a small person need so much stuff'! No possible answer to that. He doesn't know that I'm on this challenge (I'd never hear the end of it!) It's uncomfortable seeing what I'm trying to UU (many LHJs) but it's the only way I can do this. I know I've said this before but I dream of having a large cupboard where I could line everything up neatly and easily see all that I have but also be able to shut the door on it! :rotfl: So - in use, in sight. Yet to be used - hidden. Mystery box - still mysterious (under my bed. :eek:)

Now. Having said all that I have to admit to an IN and put myself on the naughty step. It was totally unnecessary and I bought it because it's beautiful (doh) and in a sale.

REN Moroccan Rose Body Cream (50ml)
REN Moroccan Rose Body Wash (50ml)
REN Neroli and Grapefruit Body Cream (50ml)
REN Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash (50ml)

I really wanted to try the Neroli and Grapefruit scent. The Moroccan Rose is beautiful. The box is Japanese Cherry Blossom wallpaper in a dusky purple colour (it was a Christmas set). Beautiful. Unnecessary.

Very Jealous, the REN gift sets are going on my birthday and christmas lists, but no one has asked me what I want yet.

Hi Suidreams! Sorry that you're stuck in your office on a sunny day

I wasn't going to post the link to the sale as I didn't want to set anyone else off, IYSWIM. Link in white below:

http://www.asos.com/search/REN?hrd=1&q=REN&RecentSearchesUsed=true#state=Rf900=2201&parentID=Rf900&pge=0&pgeSize=20&sort=-1

Ignore the percentage off markings - they're all wrong! My little set was the cheapest thing (£10.50). They would all be lovely gifts to receive. I think that this is the nicest thing:

http://www.asos.com/Ren/REN-Rose-Duo-SAVE-12/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=1882834&SearchQuery=REN&Rf900=2201&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Roseduo

I hope that someone buys a gift for you

(Oh! I forgot to say that the box is lovely and I'll definitely reuse it. It's heavy cardboard with a magnetic seal. The REN product info peels off the back very easily so the only words left on the box are 'REN clean bio active skincare' on the front. It's very unobtrusive.)

(One more thing! :rotfl: I don't think that the Grapefruit and Neroli scent is as lovely as the Moroccan Rose. It's nice to be able to try it but the scent is quite weak and the body cream doesn't sink in as quickly as the Rose one.)

I need help. I very very rarely get spots, mainly due to dry skin, but in the last week or so i've been starting to get them, just the odd one or two, but now I have loads of tiny bumps under my skin which I think could be the start of loads of spots. I'm not really sure what has caused it but I did start using P&p intense serum sample a couple of weeks ago, could this be the cause I've used normal p&p serum without any problems, but I'm sure I've heard other people say it gave them spotted. There is a chance its something else, or just the weather, but would love to know the cause. Changing all skincare now just incase until it clears up, then will need to slowly add things back again I suppose.

Thanks I'll have a look at these for Christmas presents for people need to start buying some.

I am a closet stasher! I have never told anyone how much stuff I own. Only my nearest and dearest know the extent of it. x

Those fragrances sound gorgeous. Will look out for the Neroli one I think when all my zesty shower gels have gone. Perhaps ask for some for Christmas. I love Moroccan Rose as well.

Some in's to declare I'm afraid!

Frederik Fekkai Salon Technician Color Care shampoo - 473ml for £9.99 at TK Maxx, usually sells for £30+ a bottle, some bloggers I follow rave about this so looking forward to trying it out. My shampoo stash is maybe 2 bottles so I don't feel too bad.

Essie base coat, £4 at TK Maxx. I needed this so I don't feel too guilty.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in a pale pink, I didn't really need this but it was in the Poundshop so I thought I'd give it a try, its an easy every day nail polish.
