Wandering around the stores the other day I suddenly felt overwhelmed by the amount of stuff, and choice of foods, beauty products, clothes, equipment, labour saving devices, jewellery and so on.

We really do have it all (even if we can’t buy it all this minute!) For instance there are umpteen products for every area of our homes and every appliance within every area of our homes, for our cars and each separate part on it, and our bodies and every bit thereof.

These are just the products I could use for one of my legs:-.

Razor, Delapitory cream, body lotion, moisturizer, cellulite cream, fake tan, real tan, henna tattoos, deep heat treatment, nail varnish, nail file, foot cooling lotion…. and a bucket load of corn plasters, athletes foot treatments etc.

I wonder how different my leg would feel if I tried a week using all of the above, and followed it with product free week, or vice versa.

Apart from momentary gratification and a hairy leg, I doubt there would be much difference!
