    And another UU to report this morning

    Wild Mint and Eucalyptus Deodorant: I started using Wild during 2020 when I wasn't seeing people and actually it's quite good.  I like that I can chuck the actual deo packaging into the compost bin and the recycle the rest.  Each pod lasts about 2 months for me so think I've only had one delivery on their subscription plan this year and definitely won't need another one till next year 👍

    Don't go too mad when you get to Naples VALM.....or do, I would lol!

    Two UUs
    Femfresh Re-Balance Powder 200g - HG talc, it's on offer atm in Superdrug so I've got 10 coming.
    Rimmel Wonderlast Brow Tint 4.5ml - Soft Black - WDBA, very nice and easy to use

    Even better, there is a Sephora in Barcelona where we are sailing from.  We have a couple of days there prior to the cruise just in case the flights go awry so hopefully there will be shopping time there. 
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    another Suddy Nora guest size bar soap - I quite like these, they are less drying than some soap bars.
