Have a few UU to report from the weekend;
TBS Pomegranate Body Spray - Had this for years and never really used it until recently when I found it's nice and cooling. Pity it's discontinued. Might have to purchase one of the new ones they're selling now.
Aveeno Creamy Moisturising Oil - WBA, and already have. Love this lotion, sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling great.
DKNY Be Delicious 30ml - My HG day time perfume. Found this small size when rooting around for something at my parents house. Been in my bag since. Now I can move on to the 50 ml one I bought a few weeks ago.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
Eekk 7 pages to catch up on, will do that today - I'm really slacking thread wise this month but I am very much keeping up with the challenge - its a deliberately and measured quiet month so far ready for Sept to be a flurry of IN and UU for hols :T:T:T
A little movement in the last week or so:
IN
Sure Clear Pure Crystal Roll-on 50ml
UU
Botanics Organic Rose Water Toner - WBA - effective, smells lovely and great price
L'Occitane Immortelle Brightening Hand Cream - WNBA - not for me this one, found it felt oddly dry on and left a kind of chalkiness. The cut grass smell just made me feel hay feverish :rotfl:
Sure Activreserve deo - This was a TA and WNBA - not effective enough after the gym, was not as fresh as I would have liked. The roll ons never let me down so will stick to those resolutely in the future. This was a cream consistency - was more difficult to avoid white marks on clothes and just didn't work as well - not an area I'm willing to scrimp on performance so it had to be binned!
I'm mega late doing this this month but will post my updated stash list later on today as find it a great way of tracking my own progress and seeing where the problem areas still exist - although I've already a pretty good idea!
Hope everyone is well - will catch up on everything soon hopefully

I have exciting news, I am off on holiday in october! Yay. To Florida!!!
I'm beyond excited, looking up sephora and the like, and deciding what toiletry goodies i can take with me.
Therefore, I really must make a real effort in getting a dent in the stash.
i'm so jealous!! make sure you get a sephora beauty card. you can get them with a UK address now. you get freebies if you spend so much.0 -

Everything is still going strong and a bit off being UU'ed. Nothing to report...
So I used up one of my son's 50 ml shower gels that had been in the bathroom for years, as I was sick of the sight of it! (Davidoff Cool Water. Very nice too and didn't leave much masculine scent lingering.)Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
