Seeing product empties is so satisfying 🙂

@itsfi really nice work on decluttering. It must feel so good to make room for new products to love!

[itsfi]

@eshoe, I have mixed feelings about decluttering; definitely pleased to have cleared out these things, and happy to donate unused items, but also mortified that there’s so many that truly needed to be tossed. I am looking forward to having mostly full size products to work on. 

[eshoe]

Mortified @itsfi 😂 I hope for your sake this will be a one and done sorting, then! 

[itsfi]

You can say that again @eshoe! I'm so much better with making sure my masks are not past their prime. Need to put a system in place with other products.

[eshoe]

You probably already have one in place, @itsfi, but creating a spreadsheet with purchase/finish dates to catalogue everything has been a huge help to me. Especially since I sometimes keep things ‘safely stored’ in random places 😆

@itsfi that's amazing!! Great job decluttering!! 🙌

[itsfi]

Thank you @lmaster! I need to keep at it, while there's momentum! lol. Hoping to get a couple more groups of products cleared out over the next couple of weeks.

Congratulations on the declutter, @itsfi!!

[itsfi]

Thank you @haleyvvvv! It feels good to clear out some things.

@itsfi Fragrance samples are one thing I can never part with - and I never even use mine!

[itsfi]

@greeneyedgirl107, I understand. I had piles of fragrance samples at one point; a few years ago. Never used ‘em, but couldn’t let them go either. This is the first year where I have less than 10 fragrance samples. 😱 I need to use my full size fragrances more. I’m focusing on whittle down my lotions and creams for the first half of the year so maybe I’ll turn my attention to fragrances in the latter half. 🤔 

[greeneyedgirl107]

@itsfi I can understand wanting to your your full sizes more!

[Samtian]

@itsfi Holy moly!! good job!!

[itsfi]

Thank you @Samtian! 🤗 I’m happy with how things are clearing out. I just have to be good with not picking up samples after samples just because,  and be more thoughtful on what I really want to try. 

[Samtian]

@itsfi You can do it!!

[itsfi]

Aww, thanks so much @Samtian! 🥰 I’m rethinking my next round of declutters; I think I need to pair a category of products that will be easier for me to declutter with a harder category so that I have at least one that I can get through more easily.

[Samtian]

@itsfi Sounds like a good plan!

[scott1201]

About a month of empties. A few duds, a few eh (yellow squiggle or question mark), and a lot of loves

@scott1201 I'm curious about the skin fix hand repair cream - can you offer some thoughts on the scent and how well it absorbs into the skin? Thanks in advance!

[scott1201]

Hey, @sockmagnet ! So sorry for the delay in my response. This was honestly the best hand cream I’ve ever used. It was THICK. Like, I couldn’t use my keyboard or mouse at work unless I rubbed my hands for like 5 min and got it all rubbed in. There wasn’t any scent. I think it works best if you use early in the morning or late at night so it has time to sink in

[sockmagnet]

@scott1201 thanks 🙂
