Project 20 Tube
I mentioned in my last post about being notorious for getting sucked into the smell, prettiness or fad of the latest lotions, chap sticks, etc. I'm also a fanatic for beauty videos on youtube. One of the girls that I watch faithfully recently discussed that she realized that she all too often would realize that she had some extra money and would go spend it on makeup or another beauty product. Before she knew it, her collection was big enough that it was unlikely she'd ever be able to use it all. Her solution was to do a "Project 20 Pan".
If you are unfamiliar, what this project involves is not purchasing any of the product(s) you are needing to weed out before you fully use up 20 of that type of product. For example, (we'll use me) since my vice is mainly lotions and chap sticks, I would need to use up 20 total lotions and or chap stick products before I would be allowed to buy ANY more.
Now, to make this a bit more realistic and not make it to where it last literally a year or longer to where I know many, at least I, would give up, I've opted to also include "anything in a tube or bottle". So, that would include hair products (shampoo, conditioner, styling cremes or gels, hairspray), body wash, toothpaste (because we have a ton of that around too), chap stick and lotion. My primary focus will be the things I have the most of, but I don't want to get discouraged and quit because I'm not seeing results fast enough.
The payoff? I get space cleared out for storage for things that I don't need out to use on a regular basis, and I save money by not buying things that are completely unnecessary to buy because I already have plenty at home.
I'll update with pictures and an ongoing list as things progress, but I'm interested. What kinds of things would YOU Project 20 Pan or 20 tube??? (You can always start at a lower number too!)
