I had already spoken about why I started the monthly empties post and why I think, if you are a fellow
beauty blogger or just a beauty addict why you should do this. ( Check the post here). I thought this time I better share how you can go about doing it and how it can help you.
Setting the goal
I wanted to clean up without depriving myself. I am not
technically an addict. If I see a nice product, I can walk past it and not
regret buying. But who can miss the ‘high’? So, my initial plan was I think 4
products for 1 which was absurd. So, Now, I kind of stick to use up 2 products
before you buy 1. Now, even that ‘buy one’ includes the necessaries like a
shampoo or face washes that whole of my
family uses.
Difficulty: I had stashed so much; I didn’t see anything
finishing up. In my first month, there were hardly a few products which were
empty. I kept myself from buying anything. Every time I was tempted, I would
take a peep into my cupboards and since it contained what had actually
disgusted me (the pile of products), it put me off for some time.
Remedy: Stick around. If you use a product regularly, it
becomes more effective and yes, consistent use also finishes it up soon.
Your post will surely inspire a lot of people. Thanks to you I started my Empties Post ... :D

DeleteThat was exactly what i had in mine when I started doing my empties post....my vanity and shelves were full of products I tried for a couple of weeks and stopped using them when I bought something new...now I remain motivated to finish things because I know I have a post due every month
ReplyDeleteTrue. My stash now sickens me and I so detest it!
