Give And Make-up




In a change to my usual formulation for picking posts from the vault (i.e. finding the oldest), I decided that I would repost a post which I published in the middle of last year. Although relatively recent, I felt that January was the perfect time too give it another airing - I hope you don't mind...

Give & Makeup

I am sure I am not alone when I say that every year I find myself with a collection of products that myself and my household have absolutely no use for (aftershave!? - this is a beard-wearing household!) or have no inclination to use primarily due to their ingredients list - yes, I'm talking to you weird pink fluro bubble bath with a list longer than the Magna Carta! 

This scenario most often occurs around Christmas and/or birthday time when a well meaning elderly individual who I haven't see since I was 3 months old (if ever) very kindly sends me a present which is not to my taste or possibly even meant for me - then I guilt at not even having sent them a card! What do you do..?
