Project progress.

So, MAYBE some of you remember from a long time ago – I'm sure I wrote about it in here but I'm not going to go through the archives to find out – when Davey & I were packing up in Boston to move to Dallas I was dismayed by the amount of body and hair products I owned and swore not to buy anymore until it was all used.

You remember that, right?

Anyway, SOAP was the biggest offender at the time. Because it would be put in stockings at Christmas, or otherwise given to me as a gift, and then I'd forget and buy some shower gel or something, and soon I had a whole little box FULL of nice soaps. I swore that day packing that I would get THROUGH THAT SOAP.

Now, 2.5 years later, I have accomplished my goal. I am on my last soap! And it is about halfway gone. So I celebrated… by buying two bars of soap! But that's ok. I need it now.

Whole foods soap

Now it seems the biggest offender is hair products. I have about 10 half-full hair products. And I like them all, but I just don't style my hair like I used to. I guess I need to go get a chop so I can make it all stick up like I used to do so I can use all that mud and sticky stuff. Yes. I'll pay $60 for a haircut so I can use up my styling products. That makes a lot of sense.

Also we seem to have several hand lotion tubes. I guess I'm soon to have the softest hands in the world because I'm about to start using that shit up too. I'm also almost through all the self-tanner and body lotion. I don't think I'll ever get through the sparkly body powders from Stila & BeneFit. I just don't get all sparkly anymore. No where to sparkle, I guess. MAYBE I SHOULD FIND A SPARKLY PLACE, EH?

Dream: In my future cabinet, there will be ONE hand lotion, ONE body lotion, ONE powder, and TWO hair styling products at any given time.

And two soaps.

    i am working through my own pile of products. I have cheated and put some products in the hallway of my building. :) Maybe you can have a product swap with friends :)
