  • Ladies, I'm off for a long weekend… in Disneyland! :) It's mine and my boyfriend's second anniversary on Monday, so we're having a bit of an adventure this weekend…

    I thought I might have some INs of travel sized bits, but I've made do, so nothing to report. I wish I could say the same about clothes, though, haha!

    See you all on Monday! Happy using up!

    VALM - Beauty Naturals is the name of the website and it is part of Martha Hill I think. I have been buying from Martha Hill for years and they do some lovely natural products, you can google them and then search for Rosehip Oil on their site, hth.

    OxfordOwl - Have a lovely time.

    I have ins, I will report them later as I really need to get my Chilli made for tea.

    Hi, I've been awol, work is crazy and my line manager's line manager is back bullying me again, do relieved it's Friday :j
    Going to catch up but did want to declare I did a BS shop the other night so got 2 gift sets coming :o hopefully they'll not be cancelled although do NOT need anything else :o
    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

    Right I'm back to declare my ins

    S&G A Good Kisser - Chocolate Cherry
    S&G A Good Kisser - Peach
    Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in Taupe (gorgeous)
    S&G Smoothie Star Body Milk

    There was a 3 for 2 involved here and an extra 200 points voucher and a £10 voucher from doing surveys.

    Also went to Body Shop with my two gift cards from Glamour, I took them to the till and asked what their value was and without even looking she said £3 so I pointed out that they could be £15 or £100 and how did she know without looking, she said there was a code on the back but she hadn't turned them over - all a bit suspicious.

    With them I got a Facial Roller and an Almond Cuticle Pen, also got 10% off with my LIB.

  • Sounds like £3s all the way then, probably 1 of each of the others in the whole country:(

    Have a fab time OxfordOwl
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • Just one UU from my bath tonight, a Lord of Misrule bath bomb. This was totally lovely, but I'm still in two minds as to whether I'd buy it again, but then I don't know if I'm just feeling less inclined to buy bath bombs since they work out so expensive per bath… We'll see. I may be tempted if there's any left in my local Lush on Monday.

  • So...Before I do the list. I have a confession.
    A big bottle of snow fairy came in today...why?
    Because it was made on my birthday. :( Which made me really happy but I don't really think I shoukd have bought this. I may yet repurpose this as a Christmas gift for my sister :)

    Oh how lovely that Martha Hill is still around, I used to buy their products back in the late 70's (yes I am that old:rotfl:) I will have a look over there.
    The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)
  • So....This is what I would like to get all those totals down to for graduation..
    -Shower gels: current 24 ideal 5 (for variety)
    -Body lotion: current 16 ideal 3 (again for a bit of variety-allows me to have the dream cream on standby too)
    -Body Scrubs/Treatments: current 10 ideal 3
    -Soaps: Current 31 ideal 4 (one for bathroom, loo and kitchen and 1 spare)
    -Bath bombs: current 34 ideal 5 (want to use fresh but dont mind having a small stash)
    -Bubble bars: current 24 ideal 3
    -Melts I think my stash of 3 is fine for now
    -Cleanser: current 5 ideal 3 (one liquid, one ultrabland and a toner)
    -Shampoo: Current 8 ideal 2/3 (for variety)
    -Conditioner: current 8 ideal 2 (one normal, one deep)
    -Day/night cream: current 4 ideal 2
    -Hair styling products: current 12 ideal 6 (allows for serum, hairspray, mousse, dry shampoo, texture spray and a spare)
    -Eyecream 1 (as is current so fine)
    -Face scrubs/treatments: current 6 ideal 3
    -Hands and Feet: current 8 ideal 4 (I use a lot of foot stuff so this is reasonable for me)
    -Fragrance: current 22 ideal 5 (I love variety but don't need as many as I have. its a bit crazy!)
    -Toothpaste/mouthwash: current 5 I think this is fine but 4 would be more ideal.
    -Deoderant: current 8 idea 3 (one spray and two roll-on/solid)
    -Miscellaneous: current 25 ideal 5 (difficult one this but judging by what I have to UU in this catergory this should be enough of a stash at 5)
    -Make-up: current 20 ideal 10
    -Blush etc: current 4 ideal 4 (need to still add to whats on my list on this one)
    -Lipbalm/scrub: current 6 ideal 4
    -Nail varnish (still need to count my stash properly but I think about 6-8 would be acceptable, which is about what I have now :)

    I hope this helps others of you with your reasonable amounts. what do you all think about it?
