On one level it’s a bit indulgent (and not very eco friendly). But little treats like this and a new, very nicely scented shower gel, that I have saved for use over Christmas and into the new year, means I don’t feel deprived and end up splurging on waaaaay too much other stuff 😊 Every time my eye falls on either of them, I feel special ✨cathybird said:
