No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries November 2025

@Hodgepodge it's hard isn't it!  I have one serum I want to repurchase that is running low, so I am waiting to see if they are doing a BF sale, but otherwise I am trying hard to resist.  I have another that is also running low, but my friend got a load of freebies at this ASOS event that she is going to give me, and I think one of those serums is meant to give a similar anti-aging effect so will use that as my regular's replacement this time round!

I did get a warm waterproof jacket and fleece lined walking trousers in BF sale though, but I need those for dog-walking this winter so don't mind having spent that money!

Also trying hard to resist - I really want some new eye shadows but  I will use up what I have

Three UU all though really were throw aways as I realised the nixon stuff irritates my scalp so threw away the scalp treatment and the conditioner.  Absolutely love my new hair topper so less stressed about hair falling out now.

No more UUs for November

There are 6 items I am trying to use up, so hopefully will have more stuff gone from my stash soon

Uu- baylis and Harding 'bauble' bubble bath - WNBA - nothing special, just the name.

I don't think anything much helps with hair fall, unless you try minoxidil, which deffo isnt for everyone and doesn't always work anyway from what I hear!  I'd try it except we have a dog and it's meant to be very toxic!  Where did you get your hair topper from?


Unrelated note, I almost succumbed to buying a serum and an eye cream (both ones I've wanted to try for a while!) from TKMaxx yesterday.  Was only saved by the huge queue and deciding I didn't want them enough to queue for ages.... not sure that counts as a success on my part!

I have tried toppers bought on line and always sent them back as they just didn't look great on me and looked so false.  I had almost given up when I went - almost as a last ditch - to Bear With The Hair in Essex   which was a fair drive for me and it took a whole day. I don't know why I went there but it was probably  my most successful day out.  I bought two, one I absolutely love and one I don't.  Interestingly the one I don't was the "starter" she suggested and now I have had it a while I am clear what I don't like. I will take it back and get it cut so it does work for me.

Having a real person to help made  a difference.  I adore having long blonde hair now    Interestingly most people just think I've had highlights put in!     The difference a great head of hair has made to the way I feel is  incredible!

In - two cream deodorant from Holland and Barrett. One was lemon and £5.95 in the sale, the grapefruit one was £10.95. I didn’t want to be greedy and buy all the lemon ones. WDBA.

UU - I have enough hand soap to last me a year or two. My delicate lady body skin can’t handle generic soap, I have to buy hand made all natural soap. Yes it gets expensive but it is what it is.

In - naughty purchase in Lush of a moisturing bar. I’m using it for foot soaks.

I must not go into town.
