No buying unnecessary toiletries April 2014

Girlybags, so sorry about all the sad happenings, take care.

I am not being tempted by the Elemis TSV, the only thing on my wish list is the tan accelerator. I am waiting to see the OPI one in a few days time:D

I ran past OH my wish for another Helmer the other day, he was obviously in a good mood, as he said "wouldn't it be easier just to buy less?", but with a smile and not in a grouchy way:j I had better get on and order it before he changes his mind.:D

Does anyone who has a Helmer buy any I*ea dividers for it, if so would you mind sharing which ones and what you keep in it. I live too far from a store to go and browse and need to buy online, so it would be a great help.

Lovely and sunny here, hope that it is with everyone too.

girlybags - sorry to hear your news, hope your FIL is better soon.

VALM - if a product packs in just after the 12 month guarantee there is some comeback under the guarantee, I can't remember the name of the law/rule whatever it is but do a search and see what you can find out before you write it off.

FizzWhizz - I have just started being able to get my hair up in a ponytail now for the first time in donkeys years. The one good thing about my new curls are no parting so I can't see the colour growing out like I used to be able to do when it was straight, it curls straight from the top and is very Kate Humble esque.

I have been reminding myself that the flash balm is the only item I really want as I have or have had pretty much all the others, so it's not worth buying it now.

Trawling through and making a PP list to keep my mind off it :rotfl:

Be strong honey ... You can do it!!!!

I'm not getting on very well withy curls at the mo, dolly, and it's really bothering me. They've gone very frizzy and fluffy and my usual styling products just aren't controlling them well I switched to HE shampoo and conditioner, maybe they're to blame, it's the Hello Hydration range which I know to be HG for many curlies but I remain unconvinced, the condish feels very thin compared to others I have used recently. I've packed Tresemme Naturals minis in my suitcase so I'll see if it's any better with those while we're away. The only reason I straightened it y'day is we're leaving for the airport at 4.30am :eek: and I need to know it'll look halfway presentable when I roll out of bed at 3-something tomorrow.

If it's still fluffing when I get home, I'll top up my colour and slap some Joico K-Pak reconstructor on it, maybe a protein boost will help?!

Maddiemay - I have these in my helmer:

http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50043573/

They do fit but it is quite a tight fit. I got the idea to use these from lots of beauty bloggers. I use them to divide up my make up e.g. eyeliners in one compartment, eyeshadows in another etc.

It looks like you can't order them online though I live really near an Ikea and would be happy to pop in and get some for you if you want them.

:eek: I want the Elemis TSV! I have never tried any Elemis products before. Feeling pretty fed up at the moment which is never good for my purse :eek:

afternoon ladies,

Valm, I feel your pain, I dropped my nexus yesterday and broke the screen and I'm feeling a bit lost without out (missing candy crush ), hopefully you will be able to get yours sorted out easily since it was caused by one of their own updates

I have a UU, Body Shop satsuma shower gel, 750ml, oh I did like this, it smells so fresh and summery , I have another in the stash.

happy pampering, xo

Thanks all. FIL is coming out of hospital today. Unfortunately he has lung cancer so I shouldn't imagine it will be long before he's in there again, he's in his 70's. My auntie died from liver cancer. My bosses wife also has liver cancer and isn't looking too good at the moment and my exes cousin died from liver cancer a couple of weeks ago. It's unbelievable really, it seems to just keep coming!
Anyway, thanks again for all your kind words, I do really appreciate it

I didn't buy anything today which is a small miracle in itself

Cancer is a terrible disease. Glad to hear your FIL will be coming out of hospital today though.

Well done for not buying anything!

2 more UU from my PP list -
