@makeitup305  Oooo thanks! I’ll have to check if I can find that in Canada!!!

[ather]

@lmaster  Thank you! 😊 

[Samtian]

@ather Great job!

[ather]

@Samtian  Thank you! Easy to use when they are loves!

Woo hoo 🎉 Good job on these empties! @ather 

I enjoyed Ouai's hair serum sooo much while I was using it. It's a lovely hair essence. (I prefer the price on my The Ordinary Mini Multi Peptide Hair Density Serum 1 oz / 30 mL more 😉)  @Mellmars1185  got me hooked on JVN's prewash oil, it's so fab. 🩷

I'm sorry to hear Peace Out turned on you before you could finish it.

@CynthieLu  I’ve used the The Ordinary Mini Multi Peptide Hair Density Serum 1 oz / 30 mL  and I prefer the Ouai. I’m trying the JVN right now! 

[CynthieLu]

Good luck with JVN 💛 let us know how using it works out for you @ather I really enjoy it. 😄

@ather The Ouai serum is a contender for my 2024 project pan items.  I need to find a way to get in the habit of using it.  Glad to hear another vote of confidence with it!

[ather]

@missjeanie  Do it! 

[itsfi]

Just poking my head in to say "dooooo it @missjeanie!" The Ouai was in my project pan this year and it kept me accountable to using it, which in turn, resulted in me repurchasing it after I finished the bottle. @ather 

[ather]

@itsfi  @missjeanie  I have mine on my dresser and I keep it with my skincare so I use it at night! Hope you are able to use it! 

[itsfi]

@ather, that's smart. 💡 The first time around, before I included the Ouai serum in my project pan last year, I kept it with my overflow hair care products - items I have open but that are not part of my then current rotation. Even as I write that, what a bad idea to keep the serum there!!! Ack! 😫 No wonder I never used it. 🙄 I like how your brain works, ather. Going to think about anything else that I should be using nightly - I'll add that to my skincare items. @missjeanie 

[ather]

@itsfi  Hopefully it helps! My overflow is in my closet in my room. And I rarely grab from it. I need things in open site for me to use it!! Hope it works for you!! 

[itsfi]

Yeah @ather, the adage "out of sight, out of mind" is a good descriptor when it comes to using up products. Ugh. Challenges can be helpful because I can chip away at things - a little here, a little there adds up over time. Being on a low buy / no buy will be good too, especially for shopping my stash. Hoping my attempt a Capsule Makeup Collection will help even more. 🤞 We shall see what organizational system I come up with when I've moved back in.

[ather]

@itsfi  I love the capsule idea. I actually was thinking it was more of only having one or 2 products in each category! But I like this idea better. This means I can keep all my products!! 

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I've got about 20 products pulled so far and will need to narrow it down tomorrow!  Jusssssst for you though... I'll make sure the Ouai makes the cut!

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, oooh, Ouai to go! 😂🤣😂 

But, you know, if there's something that you really want in and something has to go ... I'm sure we can find another way to get you on a schedule with the Ouai serum.

I keep adding things to my project pan basket, and then taking things out, putting more in, taking them out. In. Out... I really have to remind myself to keep it simple. I tried being ambitious one year - it did not work for me. 😆

[missjeanie]

@itsfi I think it was 2021 I had 21 products thinking that was a cute number for the year.  Turns out the way I choose products (things that are still good, but that I either forget about or I have things that are in the same category but are newer or more fun etc etc) doesn't lend me to completely finishing 21 products.  I have to do the same as you and remind myself that simple is good.  While I want to challenge myself, I need to be realistic as well.  I'll do 10 again this year and rotate items in as I finish them for the first half of the year. 

And it's too late... The Ouai is in!!

[itsfi]

@missjeanie, if it makes you feel better, I had the "genius" idea of aiming to pan 22 items in 2022. Yep, genius. 😜 A lot of hacks and lessons were learned that year. 🤣 My original plan for 2024 consisted of 10 products, 14 goals. I will be going back to the original plan.
