It has been a very long time since I have challenged myself to use up items other than from my various craft stashes or the pantry.
But in the past couple of weeks I have been once again using some beauty/personal products up. So far this month I have used up a small tube of hand cream, and some foot cream that I brought back when we cleaned out Dad's apartment. During that time I noticed how many small lotion and potion bottles and gifts from various family members I have collected through the years. I decided that this was the year I would use those that I could, and donate the rest (I don't use bubble bath). This will clean out the cupboard and basket in the bathroom and make things look much tidier.
All this to say starting on the second tube of hand cream, and a rich body butter to smooth on my feet at night.
Use It Up
Re: Use It Up
This is a great reminder, Jackie. I have a lot of sample size products I need to use up. I just used up a mini shower gel that I brought home from a work trip back in 2019 and I have a couple more things from hotel stays as well as freebies I've requested that came in the mail. Lotions, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel, facial cleanser, etc. Can't let them go to waste.

Re: Use It Up
Used up the second small bottle of lotion and starting on the next. Not many of the small ones left so pretty soon I will move on to the larger ones....

Re: Use It Up
Now, thanks to youngest DS I have many more tubes of hand lotion and jars of body butters/lotions. I have the hand lotion tubes in the basket beside my chair in the living room so I remember to use them up.

Re: Use It Up
I have used up another small hand lotion and pulled out another from the collection in the basket.
I also took another foot cream into the bedroom to use at night.

Re: Use It Up
I am almost done a liquid soap in the bathroom. Today should see it used up and then I can start the larger bottle of Lavender liquid soap. I am going to look for another soap dish while shopping as the sets of smelly items that youngest DS bought me contain soap and as I plan on using everything up I will definitely be needing another soap dish.
