Hauluary 2018 – Post-Holiday Sales

I know, I know. I just posted about makeup decluttering and here I am, showing stuff I’m adding to my hoard.ย  Never did I once say that I wasn’t shopping anymore! (I was just making room? ๐Ÿ˜† ) And, I didn’t go as crazy this year with post-holiday sales.

This is called self control in my books! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Trash Stash: November to December 2017

Here’s a combined Trash Stash post for the last 2 months of 2017:

I forgot to take a group shot and was too lazy to take the items out of the bag for recycling. ๐Ÿ˜›

I initially felt that my steam dwindled a bit toward the end of the year to finish up products but once I started to list them out, I found that I did finish quite a few items in the last 2 months.ย  I decided to do a big post instead of separating into 2 posts, so grab a cup of hot tea. โ˜•

The Christmas chaos is over! I hope you had a fantastic time. It’s the annual tradition to post what I got for Christmas so here it is! (and as is with tradition, I’m too lazy to take photos so you get stock photos! ๐Ÿ˜› )

Smashbox Drawn in. Decked Out. Multi-use Brush Set

June and July 2017 No-Buy-Low-Buy Accountability

I hadn’t planned on being MIA last week but it was my final week at my old job and it was so busy!ย  I ended up having a lot of social engagements last week (goodbyes) – being out every night makes it difficult to blog! ย Things likely won’t settle down until after Labour Day weekend…

This post is a combined June and July accountability (I know, I’m so late with this!) ย June was a No-Buy month whereas July is a Low-Buy month. ย My budget for July was originally $200 but since I slightly overspent back in April, I had to subtract off $1.70 from my budget, leaving me with $198.30 to play with.

I was able to stretch my budget by supplementing with gift cards – plus, I received some birthday presents! ๐Ÿ˜€

Trash Stash: May 2017

This month was the month of finishing up a lot of facial skincare:

I finished both my day and night creams, plus a bunch of other essential face product. So weird how that happens.

Trash Stash: April 2017

A couple of housecleaning items to kick off today’s post. ย First: May the Fourth be with you! ๐Ÿ˜€ And second: I seem to be in spam hell once again. I’ve left a bunch of comments yesterday on various blogs and they all disappeared. ย It’s so frustrating when that happens – can you please check your spam box? Click here to see where your spam is located.ย Thanks!

Onward to my April Trash Stash! This month turned out to be ok for empties – I thought I’d have only a few to show but I am on an ambitious plan to clear out my cabinets of items that just aren’t working for me.

It was fairly well balanced in terms of skincare, body, hair and makeup stuff, actually.

Trash Stash: March 2017

It’s April already! Did anyone get pranked on April Fools Day? ๐Ÿ˜› Mine was uneventful. ย Here are the empties that March yielded:

I got a bit nervous at around mid-March since I didn’t have a lot of empties in my bag but it seems at the tail-end of the month, I was able to use up a bunch. ๐Ÿ™‚
