I forgot about my uu yesterday

Sure Motionsense Anti Perspirant - WMBA but it wasn't super effective, I think I prefer Right Guard but will be looking into something more natural.

Dolly84, I use a natural mineral deodorant by Natural Elements. I've only been using it a few weeks but I'm finding it really good.

I've UU'ed Clarins Double Serum. This is my second bottle and with the one without mineral oil. I do like Double Serum and I think it did good to my skin. I have Merumaya Iconic Youth Serum to use now. It is also cheaper so I will see if I also like this.

I have gifted two S&G Birthday Box sets to two separate friends yesterday. I bought them from Boots when 3 for 2 was on and mainly for this purpose. So 2 outs.

I have visited Boots and bought some(4 of them) Soap and Glory individual Shower Gel sets. There are 9 individual pots in each box and they will be useful for gym or travels. Also bought a bottle of Batiste Dry Shampoo.

Last week was bad. I'm full off anxiety. I'm trying to stay calm and not impulse buy. I cannot bring myself to purchase much anyway as I need to save some money.

I know how you feel, I definitely tend to buy more (also eat badly)when I am anxious or stressed out. I really need to find better ways to cope in these situations for my bank balance and waistline! I also really need to save more this year too, a few big expenses to come out of the budget over the year so I am going to try stick around here for support to keep me on the straight and narrow! I hope you feel better soon:)

Big hugs for anyone struggling a bit, if you feel that you can accept them. I tend to comfort eat, rather than comfort buy, as I can't get to shops easily, other than those in my town centre. Even then, I'm not too bad, as I try not to buy too many comfort foods.

NBI, and it wasn't Am@zon this time. A friend brought round a 50 ml Senspa body butter and matching body scrub, that she knows she won't use. In exchange, she took a raspberry body spray that I would take a year to use up, as I rarely use them. I prefer body lotions and perfume.

The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey Body Butter sample size - This was lovely actually - really liked the scent. Would consider buying full size but must finish my current stash of moisturisers first.

Garnier Ultralift Night Cream 50ml - I really enjoyed using this. It made my skin very soft the morning after using. I got it on sale so was only £2.50 but would buy full price. Have a couple of night creams left in the stash so will use them up before purchasing more.

Have a shower gel with very little left, and a hand and foot cream which are almost gone. Also hope to use up a few more mini body lotions before Feb.

Finished a can of dry shampoo. It was from a beauty box. Around 50mls. I don't buy these and only use them when I get them in boxes. this one lasted forever. I usually pass them onto my DIL.

Finished an Estee Lauder brightening serum. 30mls. They don't make it anymore, so I can't be bothered to find the name.

Finished a Simple face wash gel, 50mls. Did the job.

I think the way to go is use up some samples and alternate with full size.

I'm cold, my skin and lips are dry and winter is definitely here!

Thanks, I will look into that.

I have a uu

Hawaiian Tropic Lime Coolada Body Butter 200ml - WNBA, I bought 7 pots of this online without ever having tried it, I love the coconut one and that was why I bought them (old me). It isn't the same lovely texture as the coconut, this one is just a cream and it smells like ozone and not lime. 4 pots to go.

One UU this morning:

Avene Eau Thermale Spray 150ml WDBA and have. I love this stuff. I reach for it more in summer but I've been using it lately to help a moisturiser absorb better on my body. I've got a bigger tin in my stash to replace this.

Duck Island Body Lotion 30ml - This was a hotel freebie. Did the job but lemon scent reminded me a little of bathroom cleaning products. I would still use it again but WNB.

Also used foot cream again after my shower today. Thought I would finish it but still a little bit of product left - will hopefully be gone by next week.

No INs recently. I went into Boots to pick up a prescription last week and didn't even check the Clearance shelf which is one of my main areas of weakness.
