Hello and I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas.
I've been MIA with a lovely, sunny holiday and then all the Christmas shenanigans
I have no INs :jbut a couple of OUTS :T
2 x TBS Joy gift sets from a previous Xmasnice set of bag, shower gel and body butter & scrubby thing.
Also put together a package of full size TBS butter, shower gel and lip balm for a friend.
Also have various UUs from holiday, can't remember what exactly as I'm feeling abit over whelmed with the amount of stuff I have.
Realising I have some serious hoarding habits that must be stopped and cleared out asap. :eek:
Hope everyone has a nice new year and best wishes for 2016 :ALife 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.

I've decided against doing a full list of what I have on here, I've gone through everything but it would take FOREVER to type everything up! SO I'll just update on any UUs and Ins etc
Starting off with a UU of a Biore nose strip, got a couple of free sample s and I love them, they really clear my nose!0 -
Just had an order come in from The Body Shop - Frosted Cranberry, Spiced Apple, Passion Fruits, Papaya and Poppy shower gels which were all reduced in the sale. I am trying not to buy too many more things but offers are very tempting. I also got a half price pack of two nail polishes from Boots that were in the sale on Boxing Day; and a Simple facial moisturiser which was on special offer at Tesco. I have just one UU from today - I seem to have loads of bottles where that last little bit of product takes longer to shift than I think.
I have set up a little cosmetic bag in my handbag with one of each product I am hoping to use up so I can concentrate on one product at a time to finish. I will keep the bag by my desk at work so I can use up the hand cream.
UU
Beauty Formulas Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Strip - Have used one of 5 that I have left over from a pack. I still have to get through the rest, which I will use whenever I do a face mask. These don't really do anything for me so WNBA.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2019 Total UU since 2016 - 396 | Total February UU - 10 -
I have a uu
Imperial Leather Field of Dreams Bubble Bath - WNBA, I get through these too quickly, I think the opening on the bottle is just so big that a ton comes out. I prefer Avon bubble baths for basic, cheapy ones.
My ins from the sales
Prada Candy Florale gift set with 50ml EDP and 75ml body lotion.
CK Eternity gift set with 50ml EDP and shower gel.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I am really determined thgat 2016 will be the year I make a serious dent in the stash and release some much needed drawer & cupboard space. See all you lovely people next year.
Happy New Year to you all _party_0 -
Repainted my nails today and am wearing Leighton Denny Berry Nice. I don't wear this colour very much but having applied it today I don't think I have another colour similar to this. I remember buying it in a TSV some years ago. Might have to seek it out when it's UUed.
Have been for a walk today and conquered 10.000 steps on my Fitbit. My sciatica is burning so it's time for a painkiller and bath. Am going to UU my LUSH Peeping Santa so am putting £1 into my sealed pot.
Anybody else have a Fitbit and want to friend me?
Have had email from Boots advertising the S&G OOTW kit at £25. I'm not enabling but surely this is the first year in forever that the kit did not fly off the shelves. Perhaps the S&G bubble has burst?Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Hi All
I have been busy listing all the products I have and am almost finished but going away overnight and won't be back until tomorrow night so doubt I will get it completed until Saturday.
I will join in the six before spring challenge as one thing I have learned from doing my list is that I have far to many of certain things open and on the go. So I really need to concentrate on using them up before opening more. I will sort out which I want to do first.
Wishing you all a happy New Year and see you in 2016.0
