Oh Kadison, that's lovely. I was 33 when I met DH, we had both been married before but had never felt the way we instantly did about each other (and still do nearly 12 years later). Enjoy it my love and long may it last.

Aww, I had a melty heart moment reading that, I can completely relate. I too had been married before and was in a casual relationship when I met my DH for the first time, but I knew that very moment he was The One, call it chemistry, meeting of minds, whatevs, we were just the perfect fit for each other and it was like someone had switched on a lightbulb and I thought, "This is what love is supposed to feel like!". We haven't quite clocked up as many years as you but I've honestly never been happier. Even with my itchy legs

That's EXACTLY it FizzWhizz, he is truly my other half and completes me, he's not perfect but is perfect for me, my soulmate!

I can't really stomach the S&G smell after something once leaked out in my wash bag on holiday and stunk out everything I owned with the S&G signature - bleughh!

I got the S&G big gift set a couple of years ago just before xmas, ya know the one that everyone goes mad over!
Was great at first but got really really fed up of the same smell over and over. I got the 'Foam Call' shower gel and body butter this year which is a different smell but still somehow just as annoying! I shouldn't complain I was the one who brought it in the Boots sale...I just HAD to have it...it was only £3 for the whole set!

OUT to declare:

Element Hydrotherapie Moisturiser - WNBA, didn't do much and didn't smell of much. Average at best.

IN:
Bioderma Micellar Water Cleanser - just got the 100ml to start off with and see how I go. I get redness on my cheeks which i'm always seeking ways to reduce. I've been using the Clinique redness solutions which I think has made a small difference but i'm running out so wanted to try something a bit different and i've heard good things about Micellar water for sensitive skin.

If anyone has any suggestions on redness reduction it would be gratefully received!

Hope he doesn't keep you waiting too long Kadison - I imagine we've all been there at some stage in those early stages of 'courtship' waiting for some fella to call and willing the phone to ring.

He did text me, we're making weekend plans, it'll be nice to have him here all weekend and all to myself

People might with what I'm about to say! If I could have written down all the things I wanted in a man, he's fulfilled every single thing, quite literally! I know people are nudging and winking and joking about marriage but I do feel a connection to him I never have before with anyone, I already see us together in the long term and we're only 5 dates (and 2 months) in :eek:

*Passes the buckets around*

Some areas are really under control but skincare is still clearly my weakness and I know I've hair products I just won't use which need weeding out. Not too bad though, still heading in the right direction.

Aw ladies, it's fab to hear all the stories of romance. Kadison I'm so happy for you. Please do keep us updated

Assett I'm glad things went ok for you.

Can't remember who posted about which sulphate/paraben free haircare. I have tried the ever riche conditioner and like it - it smells lovely.

I am not happy as I have started to get noticeable lines around my eyes now, to go with the dark circles the lines are from when I smile. Not sure what I can do about them really other than not smile :rotfl: Tempted to try the PCMC to see if it helps after the discussion about it on here.

1 PP is very nearly UU. Would have been UU tonight but have had to leave it turned upside down to get the dregs out. Started using a soap and glory body butter but don't like it much, smells really sweet and leaves a film on my skin. Also used a soap and glory scrub in the bath tonight and really don't like it. Was really oily and horrible. Might be because the tub is a few years old though :rotfl:

1 UU this evening -

109 - Aromatherapy Associates Support Equilibrium Oil 3ml - WNBA

1 IN -

115 - Urban Decay double ended eyeliner pencil in Naked 2 - wanted a longer lasting eyeliner (I am hoping this is it) and had £5 voucher to spend so paid £7 for this. Not too bad.

sjprmc01

No UU a few 'minis' ins (for hols) and a p&p serum whilst the £5 voucher was still valid as I've been using this daily.

Found my avene cleansing water, and apart from the nice smell, I don't actually like it that much, oops it's a 400ml bottle! Just as well I only paid £4 and not £16 for it! I'll be back to my old faithful no 7 cleansing water ASAP ( speaking of which, I know I'm not meant to be buying, but could prob do with another while the £5 vouchers are still valid too)

Soap and glory the fill monty is great for fine lines. I had it for Christmas - cheeky cousin buying me an anti wrinkle product. Anyway it's not got wonderful reviews and I hated it for the first couple of uses and thought it was crap then I saw a review and realised its because you only need to use a teeny miniscule amount. If you use more it doesn't melt into the skin,

It's pretty much nuked two of the fine lines I was getting on my forehead and has greatly reduced it under one of my eyes. It's not for deep wrinkles but works really well on fine lines. I have pretty good skin anyway due to years of slapping on the sunscreen.
