I decided that my first project be about something that some of you can probably related to; the desire to reduce the amount of beauty products that I own, and the need to put some bathroom organisational systems into place. I own a ridiculous amount of beauty products and I’m close to being someone that could be featured on an episode of Hoarders. The thing is though,, I hate clutter and I really dislike owning an excess of things. Life for me is far more peaceful when it’s uncluttered and structured, and yet I’ve managed to get myself to this point:
Now, in the name of being honest I have to admit that around 75% of the products that I own were sent to me for consideration for review. Regardless of how I came to own this gargantuan amount of beauty products, it’s my problem now and I am determined to make the most of it. Ideally I would like to have a small amount of products that I know and love, and that I can replace when necessary. In order to do that I am going to have to take an honest look at what I own, and figure out a way to whittle my collection down to a reasonable amount.
I already have my Project 100 Pan in place, but I am considering extending that indefinitely until I work through my whole collection. This would probably take years. Other steps I am planning on taking are: cleaning out bathroom cupboards / taking stock and keeping written reference of what I own / donating any product that I know I simply will not use / putting systems into place regarding storage of products and product rotation. If you have any tips and tricks for me on keeping track of products, or bathroom organisation I’d love to hear them. Also, if you’re planning on joining in any of these projects please let me know so I can make sure I’m following your blog!
