The second item I used up on the 15th of July is from 'Beauticology Orange bath/shower gel... 


19th of July - Yay,,,, I finally got through this one, it as took me about a year to use up - 'Yardley - lily of the valley body lotion. I am now on my last bottle, let's see how long it takes me to use it up....

#busybeeclearout

I know it's been a while since I have done a #busybeeclearout.... I have not used much up as most of what I have are in big bottles like shampoo and conditioner, even my shower gel. 


In February  I finally used up my favourite tub of body butter from The Body Shop that my godmother bought me.. 


I also used up one of many of lip glosses I have...
I'm also hoping The Body shop will still have have the butter.

In April all I used up was some handbag perfume from Avon.


In May I used up some body spray, which again I have loads. I also used up my favourite Juicy Couture handbag perfume.

The last item in the picture is Flutter a vegan body butter from Superdrug I believe it only comes in store at Christmas..

Then in June I used up my last Avon handbag perfume and of course I used up my roll on.



Let's see how I get on next month..

It's been a while

Can not believe it as been awhile since I have posted anythink on here, I think my last post was back in January.

We are now nearly the end of June.

My brother raised the money he needed so could go and volunteer in Africa, with the ICS he's working with nfed outside Tamale in Ghana. He's due back this week.

We finally well I finally understand why he needed to raise the money, it's to pay for the next person who is going out there in the next few days. It's a bit like a pyramid scheme kind of thing.

So that's my brother.....

About nine weeks into his a placement we lost our internet, it was own then when I realise how much I depend on the internet. With either blogging, Facebook Instagram, YouTube , twitter.

We had to wait just over a week to get it sorted, so in that time I learnt I don't need to be on my tablet that often, it's okay to have a break from it... 

So that's what I'm going to be doing from now, try and have a couple of days off the internet. I think it might be a tough one.....

Little Miss Crafting Bee: First Quarter



Little Miss Crafting Bee: First Quarter: Wow can you believe it is already that time  of the year again - The First Quarter... January and February was just mainly Birthday&#3...

Sunday, 31 January 2016

Post from 2016 that was posted and some how ended back in my draft file. 



Hey it's the end of the month let's see how I did with my goal of #busybeeclearout

Firstly if you follow me on twitter, I am sorry I haven't been tweeting....

So the first few things I got through is some shower products.

 The first one in the picture below ' Balance Me' was free with a magazine. I'm trying to think which magazine maybe it was the Cosmopolitan. 

Next one is the 'Palmolive Cherry Blossom' this one of my favourite products and you will see it a lot, just warning!! 

The third little one was from a gift set...



So my next few items are.
The first one of my newly favourite hand creams is 'L'Occitane - Rose' honestly I got this (again) free with a magazine called Red.. The hand cream is normally £8 from L'Occitane . 

But I do know for sure I will at some point rebuy this hand cream at some point later in the year.

The next one is 'Nivea lip gloss' again you will see this a lot. 

Last but not lease is 'Ricola' my mum got this free with her 'Sainsburys Magazine', she doesn't like them so I got them... 

Not really a great start right?

Let's hope next month is a better one.. 

Don't forget to follow me on Twitter or Facebook..

My Aim for 2016

So if you read my other blog Little Miss Crafting Bee you will know how I have set myself a very serious crafting aim .



  1. To stop adding to my craft stash , so no YouTube videos of hauls from me for a while! 
  2. To use up as much craft stock as possible
  3. To not impulse buy - stop and think do I need this really! If no don't buy it

Which you can read about by clicking the link at the top ∆.

But I do have another aim this year. 


This is just a small amount of what I have. I have a lot down stairs in the bathroom and most likely more dotted around my room..

So my aim is to use all what I have up. I'm hoping to use up all the gifts from the last couple of years... I want to clear out and start a new.

I'm trying to refocus on a few things, a few personal thing's.

My plan is to post at the end of each month, what I have used up!

I will also be using the hastag #BusyBeeClearOut throughout my social networking pages, I think I will post more on twitter!

So please fill free to leave me a message or follow me on twitter @dorsetbotanybee
