    I disappeared for a while but am popping in to say hello! I have replaced one addiction with another; I've recently started making jewellery and have set up a small shop on easy. As a result, I'm spending money, but at least I'm getting some back from sales online and to friends!


    do you mean Etsy?I have had stuff on for months(and Folksy) but sold nothing and not even had any views:(

    off to see the foot doc today so wish me luck!

    Have a uu

    Avon Cherry Blossom hair refresher - WBA and have already replaced it, it is lovely and light and smells really fresh.

    I am loving the Emma Hardie balm, it smells gorgeous and really makes my skin glow and on that basis I have ordered two more of the sets which I originally bought - they are amazing value compared to just buying one pot, so ins as follows:

    2 x 100ml Moringa Cleansing balm
    2 x 50ml Moringa Cleansing balm
    2 x 10ml plumping serum

    I will be set for quite a while now for everything not just cleanser.

    I do (thank you MacBook auto correct!). I've been on for about a month and have had around 20 sales. Mostly to friends and friends of friends, but I'm getting found more I think, I also advertise on Facebook, twitter, have a Facebook page and have started a blog. Lots of work for an average 20 views per day but it's beginning to pay!. I have about 65 items listed so far. Good luck!

    Rosemary - Good luck, I hope that you get a diagnosis and some treatment recommendations today.

    Dolly - Pleased that you like the Emma Hardie Balm, you should be fine with what you have, but keep an eye on the shelf life, I don't know for sure, but got the impression that the Balm does not have a long unopened or opened life in comparison to some other products, I will try and look it up later.

    Maddiemay - thanks for the EH info, I had a quick google and some say the shelf life unopened is 12 months and some 2 years. Either way I think they should be OK, they are stored somewhere cool. How long would you say a pot lasts once you start using it, I am using both morning and night?

    I am using a 200ml pot which I bought as a Q** beauty product of the month, I did not start it right away, but unfortunately did not make a note when I opened it:( I use it once every day, sometimes twice, but mostly use Elemis Pro-radiance in the morning. I have also been trialling another Balm (as also mentioned by VALM) from an e-bay supplier. Note to self - get on and write a little review of it:(!

    Had a good day yesterday -4 things out of the stash!

    Cocoa butter bath ball - would definitely NOT buy again. Left my bath greasy (which I kind of expected) but also stuck to my skin horribly. Expected it to be moisturising, but this was just horrible.

    Also used up a Lush bath bomb, a bath salts teabag thing and threw away a mini perfume as the smell was disgusting.

    If only I could get rid of 4 things every day!!

    More Ins, but all free!

    Dove deo x 2 (Mum picked up for me)
    Colgate maxwhite toothpaste 19ml
    Nivea skin conditioner sachet
    Nives soft 8ml sample

    Nothing terribly exciting!
