Things you never knew you needed until MN

[TwinkleToesStrikesAgain]

Retinol, vitamin D, and a foot file. All great.

Still no idea what or why a beach bag is a thing - I haven't been to the beach in >10 years and I'm not sure what I'd need to carry to one, but I guess if you live by one it's important (rucksack with a towel and a kite?)

That oloplex hair treatment stuff

An electric diffuser and a Himalayan salt lamp. And one of those big hair hot brush things.

Beach bags: aren’t they meant to be water-resistant and easy to get sand out of? I think that’s the selling point.

Where to start?

Yes to retinol, vitamin C serum.
Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue.
No-poo/curly girl and Cantu cream.
One Hundred Stars kimonos, robes etc.
Revlon hot brush.
OPI Nail Envy.
Silk pillow cases and travel pillow.

I'm sure there's a lot more I've forgotten.

An airfryer. Wish I knew WHICH one though!!

The Caroline Hirons book. I'd never heard of her till MN.

Ha ha!

100 Stars, me too Bussinbussin
Their Nibs PJ's
Advent calendar at Christmas
Love a beach bag!

Things I’ve bought since MN - Neom diffuser, Eufy robovac, Whitestuff dressingown, Premium bonds.

Vit c serum.
Need to try retinol next.

Vileda 1-2-spray mop.

Beauty Advent Calendar (s)

And I've got my first Me + Em order arriving today, hoping it lives up to the MN hype 🤞

Nip and Fab pads and Revlon heated brush hairdryer thingy.

@Inthestillofthenight ooh I didn’t Their Nibs was a MN recommendation, but I love them. Amazing quality and usually 15 quid in TK Maxx.

Bras that fit correctly (searching for answers was how I stumbled upon MN many years ago)!

FOREO bear. I had to go on a trip so didn't use it for one month. I had a FaceTime call and oh my god my face looked so saggy around the jowls. I have used it for 3 days and can see results! Love it!

Derma rehab spot patches, la Roche Posay effaclar duo.

More to come once I remember 😂

Retinol and vitamin C

594 foundations that I go the second somebody mentions them.

Nadine Baggott. (like Caroline Hirons but without the £££££££s and 54 serums per week or weirdness on the Facebook group)

Things that sly companies product placing on MN tell me I needed but I got wise to that (after a while) Me & Em, Saltwater, The Ordinary (when they first came out) Liz Earle (ditto) Boden back in the day etc. Or, any smallish company that suddenly features as "anybody heard of and are they any good" posts followed by loads of "OMFG I'd never use anything else" posts when everyone else is going "who?"

Robotic vacuum cleaners. Although I can't remember if I had one before MN told me I needed to buy one.

I haven't jumped on the serum band wagon yet. I was crippled by indecision after someone on a style and beauty described the half dozen things they put on their face at bedtime, double washing it off in the morning and then applying a different half dozen serums in the morning. How does one do that while brushing their teeth and riffling through the drawer looking for a hairbrush?

Penis beaker

Naice ham and a penis beaker.

Clean skirting boards. Preferably with a bleach mixture.

Amazon for knickers, never would of known otherwise but they are great!

How did I miss a penis beaker? I don't think I can Google and find out....

@50DaysAF tell me more what bleach solution mix is this?
