Lush Storage and Ecoflo Re-use :)

OMG...what a stress! Some of you may have noticed that my Comments have recently become invisible, meaning I was unable to read them without highlighting over them... Well, I have been stressing, trying to find a solution and doing some HTML, following a website guide I found here my comments are now visible, PHEW!!

Anywaaay, tonight I am posting about Lush and how I store my Lush and re-use the Ecoflo (100% biodegradable potato starch), which Lush use to fill out their gift boxes.

Lush also sometimes use popcorn, which is also biodegradable :)

Being an environmentally friendly company, Lush use these 2 types of packaging as they are better than plastic/polystyrene and also biodegradable, so can be put in compost bins/heaps!

Plus they are a lot more exciting...or is that just me being a bit dorky?? Hehe :)

So, I don't have a compost bin/heap and for those of you who don't own one, or know of anyone with one, here's what I do with my Ecoflo...

Plastic container...

2 boxes full of Ecoflo from my recent Lush haul...

Pour in the 'Rainbow Wotsits'...

Here's one I made earlier...

and place products in :)

Tadaaaa!

This keeps the products fresh and is a great way of storing them.

You can leave the lid off the box to keep your room smelling fresh and Lush too ;)

I also have another one of these, with some older Lush products in.

I re-use them again and again but if ever I don't need them, I will give to my colleague who has a compost heap :)

and as for the sealed (bottles/tubs) products...

I am currently storing them in one of the Lush cardboard boxes, before putting in the cardboard recycling, naturally :)

and for their lovely products here :)

What do you think?

How do you store your Lush goodies??

I've been bad...

So tonight was the Boots Advantage Card Event and I cracked under the pressure...

I also got a pack of 2 boot boxes, now reduced to £1.99 from B&M. However, to my disappointment they did not have any shoe boxes and looks like they have been discontinued!!

Anyone know anywhere else that sells them cheap??

Boots haul post to follow tomorrow ;-)

I hope you all had a good day!

A Little Pay Day Spending :)

Good Evening, well 1am...I really need to start going to bed earlier at night :-\

It's one of my favourite days...PAY DAY! YAY :)

So, today has been productive...I spoke my mind and voiced my opinion on a few things (which felt so much better to not keep things locked in any longer!), I booked the hotels for my sisters 21st Birthday weekend (Blackpool & Liverpool Albert Dock - can.not.wait!) and I filled up my car (finally!).

This evening I went to Telford, to the retail park which has a B&M Store, as I needed some more shoe boxes, well, I need quite a few more, but just got 6 more for now as they are cheap from there ;-) Went round a few of the shops up there, then to Tesco back in Shrews to get a few things too (some I can't show as they are presents!). 

I am currently listening to some Nirvana <3 Which starts me off on today's little haul...

Kerrang mag, celebrating 20 years of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' <3

B&M <3

Shoe boxes: £2.49 for 3!

Zebra storage seat (because I love zebra!): £3.99

Next up a visit to Boots, sprayed some perfume and had a little (sensible headed!) browse.

Got a few things which are presents, so can't show.

But, following my recent post on a Prestige lipstick I bought, I found another gorge one tonight, this time 75% off, at just £1.62! Also included in 3 for 2 offer! Crazy.

Prestige 'Romantic Red' Lipstick: £1.62

This is in my dimly lit living room, so not the best swatch but you can see how shimmery the lipstick is. It is a lovely reddy-pink colour, not bold red.

Another swatch attempt.

Next up, Tesco.

I got a few things, including Kerrang mag, but can't show some, as again they are presents :)

More Vivo from Tesco :) I couldn't resist...I fear it may be a problem now, everytime I go to Tesco having to look and be tempted!

Also got some hand sanitizer for my car, only 65p...bargain!

Vivo Baked Blush in Peaches and Cream: £4, Tesco

I couldn't really get a good swatch photo in dim light, but you can see the colour of the blush in the pot on this :)

Swached in dim light (I will show in natural light ASAP)

Still trying to get a good swatch photo!

The Baked Blush is a gorgeous colour, and I really like these :) They very much remind me of the Accesorize ones! and so cheap!

We popped in to Outfit at the retail park and I spotted a CUTE dress in the Dorothy Perkins section, which I really want for Donna's Birthday weekend.

<3

I also spotted a Beatles Abbey Road tee in Topshop section, which I love and think would be very apt for Liverpool :)

I shall leave you all with my words of wisdom of the day...

If you have something on your mind that is bugging or upsetting you, speak up! Tell someone how you feel and don't keep it trapped inside. You'll feel much better for it :)
