A ban on buying…

October 5, 2010 · 4 comments

Argh.

While the plumber was here today, I started sorting through my stash of nail polishes and sample-sized beauty products… to find a crapload of each and to reach this decision…

Nail polished
A small segment of my hoarding

I will not buy any more nail polish or makeup or other ‘beauty’ products (cleansers, moisturisers etc) for the rest of the year.

I have one exception – I will need more foundation, and I’ll get that when I’m next out and about. Especially for party season fast approaching!

You will also see one bonus of my realisation – many colours of polish over the next 3 months will make appearances on my fingernails and toes! :D

(I also won’t stop trying to GET more sample-sized products! Just no more “free with puchase” ones)

Gluten Free Muesli4Me sample

A week or so ago I received a sample of the new Gluten Free base from Muesli4Me mixed with a couple of my new awesome in my breakfast fruits – cranberries and figs, as I’d asked them if they were going to put out a GF base given the amount of people that have to have gluten free… such a market for them.

The Gluten Free base contains puffed millet, puffed rice, rice bran, sunflower seeds and roast buckwheat “for a delicious nutty flavor”. I should have had it with yoghurt (which I didn’t… ) which would have prevented the eeep it’s going to go soggy! issue. It tasted nice, just had to adjust the liquids accordingly with the puffs.

I also got to try their Go Crunchy base, which they list as “sweet and crunchy made from oats, almonds, pepitas, coconut, milk, sugar and vegetable oil” which it certainly tasted like! It’s a complete cereal in itself, though I’m sure the addition of your fave dried fruit would give you an added bonus… It would probably a sometimes breakfast food for me… delicious, but the sweetness induced guilt ;)
