I know we all talked about this but I need it in writing to hold myself more accountable! I have picked out around 28 foils that I am hoping to get through by the end of Feb. that’s 1 foil a day unless I decide to stack more than one! Here’s what I’ve picked randomly!

itsfi · ‎02-13-2023

I agree @ather; more is better than none. I count the shampoo packet as 1 foil and the conditioner packet as another foil. Because what if I just use the conditioner because the shampoo has something in it that doesn’t agree with my hair or scalp. I should still get credit for using the foil of the conditioner, yes? Maybe I’ve been counting these foils wrong all along? 😝 Since they can stand alone, I count it as one. If, say, they were the Dr Jart 2-piece sheet mask where the 2 pieces are in 2 separate packs, I’d count that as 1 because they need to go together. Whereas I see shampoo & conditioner as able to go together but they don’t necessarily have to be used in the same hair wash sessions.

@itsfi I love this!! I don’t think there’s a way to count wrong. But I think it makes sense. So I’ll count mine as 2 now!! It will make me feel way more accomplished!!!

That's a great system @itsfi

Very organized and easy to reach 😄

Good look using your foils and masks this month!

itsfi · ‎02-04-2023

Thank you @CynthieLu! I need whatever help I can give myself to stay focused!! 😆 So far, so good! 👍🏼 But we are still just at the beginning of the month. 😉 🤞🏼

Good idea, @ather. In fact this post just inspired me to check my current stash and grab a foil at random - Fresh's Strawberry Exfoliating Wash. So it looks like I'll be giving that a try tonight!

ather · ‎01-31-2023

@quspork Oooo I’m so happy I could inspire you!!! I haven’t tried that one yet!! Interested in your thoughts on it!!!

CynthieLu · ‎01-31-2023

Thank you for sharing this thread @itsfi

I'm on to a bit of foils as part of next month's pan project 😋 it feels so good to start using them up instead of it growing out of control over here 😅

This is an excellent idea for a thread @ather I think alot of us might have a collection of these lying around 😘

These are the ones I'm hoping to use up this month,

Good luck everyone!

Lots of foils of past and current loves of my own here, @CynthieLu 💗 I hope you enjoy sampling your way through some fun new skincare!

itsfi · ‎02-04-2023

Ohhhh, I see some samples pf excellent skincare items @CynthieLu! 😍 It’ll be fun to see which ones you end up loving!

ather · ‎01-31-2023

@CynthieLu Great choices!!!! I agree. I have tried so many ways to use them up or to gift my foils to family and friends but mine have gotten massively out of control. I know @itsfi only chooses foils she will use or wants to try which I love that idea but I need to get through the thick of mine before I can be more mindful of what I choose!!

CynthieLu · ‎02-04-2023

I think once you see them starting to get used up, you'll feel more free with your choosing 🙂 😀 Good luck this month! @ather

oooo may have to join this to work in tandem with my pan project!!

ather · ‎01-31-2023

@cianni Right! I was going to post this mini challenge in the pan it thread but I thought we might have more interest in it’s own!

cianni · ‎02-01-2023

@ather i go through foils mostly when i travel, to avoid over-packing (which never works, but the intention is there!!). i am actually traveling more than normal this month so i'll put some aside and take a pic for this thread and see if i make it through them this month!!

my only problem with the foils is that i've accumulated so many for so long that sometimes when i find a product i like..... it's no longer available 😑

ather · ‎02-01-2023

@cianni Ahh yay. I’m with you. I use my foils when I travel which for me hasn’t been often. I know your pain I also find loved within my foils but never get to them till they are discontinued 😭

CorgiMommy · ‎01-31-2023

I challenged myself a few year old to use up my foils, deluxe samples and GWP. My goal was to end up with less at the end of year then I started(knowing I would get more throughout the year).

It was fun and I did end the year with less. I also saw how many times products repeated. I had a lot of fresh soy cleansers.

It also made me more aware of how much of this stuff I have. . I also discovered some great products.

Good luck

eshoe · ‎02-14-2023

I enjoyed watching you tabulate through those samples, @CorgiMommy. It inspired me to start tracking my own, so thank you for that! Funny how you had an excess inventory of the soy cleansers. Those and the Truth Serum seemed to be in abundance for quite awhile 😂

itsfi · ‎02-04-2023

I remember when you did that challenge @CorgiMommy - such a great idea! 😍 Foils and DS are great for travel and trying new products. I try to only pick up ones I know I will use for travel or for products I really want to try. Sometimes easier said than done.
