I'm off to catch up with the last 15 pages of thread that I've missed, hope everyone is well. one last thing, has anyone here ever heard of or bought an anxiety bracelet? I've been asked to put some together using the semi precious stones I have in my bead stash. Using SP stones is something I'm still learning about but anyone else's experiences would be gratefully received!

I've heard Tigers Eye is good for anxiety, and I have a bracelet and necklace that I wear, think it's quite unusual and a bit different to 'normal' jewellery so I like it

A little off topic but if anyone plans to buy a new scholl velvet smooth pedi thingy i have some £10 off vouchers and boots has a £10 off sale so it'll be £19.99 instead of £39.99 if anyone needs one

TA - Olay Eye Gel 15g. Found in a corner of the bedroom, last 5 ml looking decidedly dodgy, at least 4 years old. Jar washed out and re-purposed for holidays.
WIBA? Not this one atm no, as it's only for eyes and I rather like the results I'm getting using an eye cream around my lips.

This is the one Am@zon gave me the other week. Definitely much better than the previous model and well worth getting in my opinion. Easier to use and far more effective - the abrasive surface is tough without being lethal.

UU an Alberto balsam conditioner in raspberry. Usually love this brand but hated the conditioner on this seemed to have a weird consistency unlike others I've tried and the raspberry was very artificial. I'll stick to juicy green apple in future

I have feet of doom seriously I've had severe hard skin since I was 12. Once I walked on glass by accident and it didn't go into my foot because the skin was so hard. I think you can't go wrong with the soap and glory foot buffer it's old fashioned but cheap and it does the job

spa 02 lime basil and mandarin bath and shower creme. smelt nice but not very bubbly when used as a bubble bath
random bath bomb think it was lush, fizzed a bit turned the water a yellowy brown but not bubbles at all.

I have a few uu

This Works Pillow Mist - WNBA, smells nice but lasts about 10 seconds, I have tried three things from this brand now and have found all of them overpriced rubbish which does not work.

Argan Oil Hair Treatment - WMBA, this was the first hair oil I bought and have since stashed loads of others, it was OK, nothing fantastic and has gone up a lot in price since I bought it a couple of years ago.

Espa Lift & Firm Moisturiser 7ml, WBA, this was really nice and I have replaced it with another of the same size.

L'oreal Exfotonic - WBA if I was going to buy body scrubs again, very scrubby, nice smell and lasted ages, thanks VALM for the recommendation.

Got a NBI to add, found a Garnier moisture match (the orange one) lurking in the back of my cupboard so had to add that to the list.

Ta for the toner advice, have read lots about Pixi so thats on the wishlist, think I might get the La Roche Posay Effaclar one instead this time though, would only be £1 as I get boots vouchers from surveys.

Maddiemay - check out Lisa Eldridge on Youtube, she does a fantastic makeup tutorial on an older lady with grey hair and gives lots of tips and advice. She says that eye makeup is more important than ever as you get older. The woman looks amazing at the end of it and it is all very simple.

Dolly, I watched the clip this morning, the finished effect is lovely, but without being at all overdone. I had an attempt at copying the eyes, looked OK, but hopefully will improve. I am pleased to say that I have very few wrinkles in comparison with the model, but she has a natural beauty that I am envious of:)
