If you take it in the bath or shower with you it will have melted when you get out, or stand it in a dish or jug with warm water in. I am using the mini size and I find that if I roll it between my hands for a few minutes it is useable for my cuticles.
this s what i do, i just pop it in the bath with me. i found i kept forgetting to do it though and got out went to use and found it solid!0 -
Cant remember if Ive joined in yet - dont think I have, keep forgetting cos I dont have the stash any more! But Im still here, Hi to the newbies, and huge hugs for everyone who could use one.
Rosemary - that means you. Dont let him feel bad about yourself,you are a gorgeous vibrant woman, and the stuff that happens regually,is clearly not for want of you trying.
Three ins, though I dont have anything like them,so not countable ones - I got the red, the glitter and the navy blue - I ADORE the blue one, its gorgeous !!! (and the Edward Cullen ( LOL !!) BB cream and the nivea sachets)
Ive had another death in the family - hot on the heels of Red 10 days ago, now Trevor the most useless fighting fish in the world has gone.... not doing very well with my animals at the moment, to add to that, Maisie (the dog) has an abscess on her leg that burst today, but at least Grape is ok ! (well,she was this morning and I havent heard that shes not tonight!!)
Poor Trevor - I shall miss his random speeds round the tank finishing in the centre for all the world like he was going "TA DA !!!"Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Hi everyone -
Sorry for not being around. I had a tragic death in the family and my mind just can't seem to focus on anything else.
Hope everyone has tons of UU's this month, and hopefully I can pop on later when I'm feeling better.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge

All in use are in red and I did chuck a load out as I didn't use it.
I had been good for ages but ran out of Showgel (well I thought I had) and went a bit mad in Body Shop. Going to South Africa for Christmas so now know I don't have to buy any suntan lotion.
Also organised my stuff so all new unopened stuff is in one place, the stuff to use in the bath are in the bath room and my daily stuff are in the en-suite. Should help. Look forward to being part of this hopefully I can get the acronyms right.
Edit just painted my toenails with a lovely Dior mini I found in my draws never used it and its lovely. Won't need to get anymore.Save £12k in 25 No 49
