  • Hi All,

    Extremely excited as first day off work and I'm not going back until 1st Oct :j:j:j:j:j We fly to Crete tomorrow afternoon, soo looking forward to it and OH definitely needs a break to relax and unwind, he's been so grumpy lately! Its a massive complex so if he annoys me I'll just reposition myself somewhere further away with my book and my cocktail(s) :D

    One IN and one UU for me - slow going the last week or so but expecting many UU from hols as taking lots of minis. IN is St Ives facial wipes to replace UU of Nivea Essentials facial wipes - much prefer the Nivea ones, dislike St Ives already after a few uses as they're surprisingly scratchy and a little over fragranced, they don't seem to be irritating my skin though so will most likely get to finish them up once we're home. I've nicer ones to take away!

    Still got to paint toe nails, do individual lashes and a whole host of less glamorous things like put the rubbish out!!

    If I'm not back later, see you in a week :wave:

    2. Body Shop Cocoa Butter Creamy Shower Creme 250ml - is it just me, or does this have a barbeque smell to it?! Anybody?! WNBA - this particular scent.

    Haven't tried this but think the BS shea butter shower cream has quite a masculine scent to it
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

  • I haven't posted for ages, partly because life got in the way and partly because I was getting really good at using up my toiletries. However I seem to have lapsed over the summer. I have acquired a lot of freebie samples and also have lots of half used pots of moisturiser and conditioner, therefore my bathroom is looking very cluttered.

    Also have the big problem of having seen a massive spider coming out of the air vent above my shower yesterday - so I am more inclined to take baths at the moment!

    I'm more surprised that people thought otherwise! It's the same stuff that's been in TK Maxx for years.
