And the weird plastic like casingDoes anyone remember bath oil balls? you often got them scattered amongst a bath gift pack from
Boots. i remember my friend dared me to bite into one, tasted vile and could taste it for days afterwards! i also remember accidentally stepping on one in the living room one christmas and the oil went all over the wallpaper, like flecks
of greaselooked awful, took
months and months to finally dry out clear.

not-a-medical-Dr Jessica Taylor monetising the Russell Brand and David Walliams news is disgusting. She forced her vulnerable employees to sign an NDA to stop them whistle blowing. She threatened survivors of sexual abuse to sue them for “every single one of their assets” if they spoke up. She is one of the most dangerous people in the VAWG sector and does so much harm to women and girls.

You can still buy bath oil pearls on Amazon, but they probably won't be quite the same as The Body Shop ones.
Speaking of The Body Shop, it has gone right down hill now, it used to be better a lot more 'fun' to shop there.

I couldn’t agree more! I miss the vanilla range and the strawberry conditioner was awesome. Hard pass on the advent calendar this year
Oooh so much Body Shop nostalgia!
I seem to remember them having some kind of perfume station where you could mix or fill your own perfume? Have I made this up? Lol
They did a cucumber perfume which I LOVED. I also remember having this tropical orange? Mango? smelling perfume that was in like a matte glass tube bottle with a silver lid with a clip, like a pen. Pretty sure I still have it stashed away somewhere. Can't find it on Google though
Also loved these lip balms - they smelled delicious:
Agree they've gone downhill. I haven't been in for years now.

Freak Like Me is absolutely brilliant. I was chatting to the author when it came out and we were discussing he join tattle and chat to us pop fans in more detail about his experiences but it never happened.
I would honestly 10000% recommend ‘Reach for the stars’ again it’s all about 90s/00s pop and the majority of it is interviews/snippets from the popstars themselves. One of the best books I’ve ever read and literally created a Spotify playlist around it!
Omg that would've been brilliant! I'd love to know if he kept in touch with anyone!
Yeah I've got Reach for the Stars too! I'm probably in the minority, but I wasn't that keen on the transcript writing style
I did find parts interesting, but I found it a bit too Sugababes heavy 
can you share your playlist without revealing yourself?
I’ve been devouring Freak Like Me, and although I am absolutely loving all the stories of him meeting these popstars, I can’t help but feel sorry for the popstars who have to put on a jolly face for these fans when they’ve just got off a flight at Heathrow or just want to be inside their own homes in peace.
There’s an interesting line where Malcolm says something about a guy outside Geri Halliwell’s house being an actual stalker as he’s driving up and down the street outside (whilst Malcolm is already standing outside for the third time), yet these fans literally know everywhere these popstars will be - usually by calling up places and pretending to be adults. They are actual stalkers hahaha. But good on them I suppose!

Yes, The Body Shop have gone very bougie now, with their black matte packaging on their fancy face masks( Himalayan charcoal, Rose…).Oooh so much Body Shop nostalgia!

I miss their fun lip balms, and their honey range that was brilliant! They ad a lovely lip balm, as well as a shampoo and conditioner, a bubble bath and possibly a body scrub. They reformulated the lipbalm then discontinued it altogether! The banana hair care range was so great too. The only thing I still get there is the camomile cleansing balm, in the sales, as , last time I checked it was 14€!
The prices are always a little higher here in France as it’s an import, but with Brexit/the cost of living, it is definitely not somewhere I shop at regularly anyway, it was more of a payday treat.
Their makeup range used to be quite fun, with the eyeshadow quads ( I still have a mint/teal/forest green one), now it is just boring neutrals!
I'm sure some magazines did it too or you would get little sample in a flat packet
Remember these squishy alien things? Apparently if you squeezed their head a black dot appeared and it means you’d killed them 
I couldn’t bring myself to test it out, really testing intrusive thoughts here!

Where I’m from these were called millennium babies and they were supposed to have a baby on the strike of midnight going into the year 2000. I would have been 9 coming 10 and believed this would happen. It just shows how innocent we were at that age comparing to kids now. If I told an almost 10 year old the same story nowadays they’d blow their vape smoke out in my face, punch me and finish off with a tiktok dance 🥹Remember these squishy alien things?

Wasn't something meant to happen when you put them in the fridge as well?!
YES!!! Can’t remember what thoughWasn't something meant to happen when you put them in the fridge as well?!
Watching that David Beckham documentary and there's a lot of boring football rit in it that I switch off from but when Victoria appears I perk up. I can't believe the Beckhams living in Madrid and looking like I imagine them was in 2003! I haven't paid any attention to them since like 2011 ( David retired in 2013) but if you say Beckhams to me the image in my head is an image in that documentary from 2005 and I can't believe that was a whole different era and they're now nearly fifty with grown up kids
