    Body Shop Satsuma Body Scrub. 60 ml tube. Got more in the stash. Get a gift box every Christmas from number 2 son. Must use more of the stuff to get rid of it. It's good on dry elbows.

    NuMe Hydrating shampoo. 30 ml tube. Never would buy this. Came in a beauty box. Very perfumed and didn't lather that well. But I did like the tube packaging.

    GA pile: Essence Nude Glam Nail 02 Iced Strawberry Cream. Lovely pearly pink nude shade. It chips. It peels. It's not worth the effort. Somebody at work may have better luck than me.

    3 Assorted hair spray/styling mists. A coworker uses this stuff. I don't my hairdresser and the beauty boxes keep giving me this and I keep passing it on.

    We had warmth today. The snow has finally melted and I can see grass in my yards. In my part of Canada we joke that we have two season: Winter and Road Construction. Well, I go the notice that the road in front of my house is to be dug up for new water pipes. It should only last six weeks. They've put a sea container for equipment right opposite our driveway which makes it really difficult to back out.

    It's only six weeks right?

    Two more UUs, this has been a good month! But with lots of things just opened I reckon May will be a slow month in return.

    Dentyl Mouthwash. WBA
    Pears Soap. I've cut this up to use in the washing machine, mainly on the dogs' blankets, cushions etc.

  • Ins to declare

    Unknown handcream as a test for Boots.

    7 sachets of shu uemura skincare products

    Clarins instant smooth perfecting touch primer
    (with this came 8 samples)

    2 Moshi Monsters character toothbrushes - these were purchased for the operation Christmas child 'shoeboxes' that my daughters school supports. I usually collect suitable additions during the year so there is no last minute rush and extra cost during the run up to Christmas.

    2 Mouthwash - this was required as we are on the last ones.
    No more buying toiletries

    Some UU

    1. Body Shop White Musk Shower gel 60ml travel size - I found this in a travel bag with about 1 use left in it, so finished it off today. I love the White Musk scent as a cheap-y perfume, but probably would not buy again as a shower gel as £8ish full size is alot for a shower gel!
    2. Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser - a very very good moisturiser for oily skin, and I loved this in my late teens... but now I need something much more moisturising so WNBA for myself but would definately recommend to others!

    I've been declutttering the kitchen today - I love throwing stuff out... not only toiletries!

    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
