seasideDreamer

Couple more UU Lush Karma bubble slice, first time Ive had this one and really liked it and Sanctuary body lotion mini, not blown away but its nice enough stuff

Sorry to hear about your day rogueylawyer! I hope things get better soon. If you feel the urge to buy any toiletries pop on here and we'll do our best to stop you :rotfl: !

I'm yet to add my travel bottles and make-up to my stash total, so will be doing that this evening. I know there's plenty of make-up about that could do with throwing out =/ Hope everyone else is staying warm, no snow down in deal, and no blizzard as anticipated!!!

Well didn't make it in to work today after a bit of a car accident. Between that and some large unexpected expenses that have cropped up, all my hard work on paying off my credit card is about to be undone.

Unfortunately my response to such stress is to want to buy things... I've held out so far but I feel the need for a boost.

sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you are OK.

Hope all is ok, rogueylawyer

I know exactly how you feel I also respond in the 'buy nice things it will make it all better' way!

That must have been a nasty shock, I hope you're ok. I think you deserve a treat, it doesn't have to be an expensive one. Its ok to fly in the face of the challenge now and again. Or you could treat yourself to a pamper out of the stash, nice soak in the bath etc, help you relax and use up the stash, brill all round

Massive hugs, Rogueylawyer. Don't buy stuff, it will make you feel worse in the long run. Snuggle up and chill out instead xxx

A couple of small UU's for me;

Sample sizes of;
REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, WBA got a full size for xmas and theres a sample in the stash.

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo - used up the dregs of two samples I found, almost finished my full size one, although another full size ready in the stash. WBA, its my holy grail when my skin feels 'congested'.

Sorry you have been having a rotten day. Glass of wine, deep bath, snuggle up in pjs under a blankie, and if you feel you must buy, perhaps make it just one thing off your wish list. Hugs.

UU Boots trial cream bath - it smelled like something for the No7 range but can't say what it was and don't think I would buy it as it didn't really bubble.

Ins - hairspray for Boots trial.

TBS order white musk sun glow perfume, peach showergel,moringa showergel, ginger sparkle hand lotion (don't really need it but got the soap ages ago so got it to match!) 3 gift sets for the pressie stash!

Hope you are all keeping warm, I am preparing for cabin fever over the weekend as I think the kids are going to drive me bonkers! Lol

My handwash bottle ran out yesterday. I put some S & G showergel in a while ago as I was bored with it and then topped it up with a travel size S&G either showergel or bubble bath (can't remember which) that had gone off before I even opened it. It had separated and didn't look any better when I shook it up so didn't fancy using it in the shower. It was fine as handwash though.

I've put an Elle McPherson lavender bath soak in there now. I hate lavender and can only just about bear to use it as handwash. A while ago I put all my other lavender shower gels and bubble baths in a handwash bottle but could only cope with it for a few days and it is now sitting on top of my bathroom cabinet. The Elle stuff has gone in my china handwash dispenser and I might just be able to cope with it. When that runs out I am going to have a good look round for any unloved shower gels/bubble baths and try to hold off from buying hand wash for as long as possible. It's not something that I stockpile and only buy cheap stuff anyway, but it seems silly to buy it when I have so much shower gel and bubble bath (and there isn't even a bath in my house!)
