Hi there, I've been lurking here for a while.  I love this thread.  Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the inspiration.  I don't have a huge stash (just a small one) but I am in the habit of buying stuff that then sits unused for ages.  As a result of this thread I am actually using products and being more choosy about what I would buy again.  I've set myself a wee project pan list for March and beyond.  Thanks again.

Good luck with it!

You're welcome.  For me, posting here has made me mindful of what I own.  I've retrained myself to think that there will always be a sale or offer.  The recent purchases that I have made have definitely saved me money though.

INS - yesterday the QVC TSV arrived.  I've sold the eye cream as it's not a favourite product but have now got from SkinSense: Neck and Decollete cream, Vitiamin C Complex, Day Cream and Night serum (to replace the Liz Earle Skin Repair that I usually use.  Don't fancy trying the new formula).

Welcome to the club!

I sold 2 Clarins hand creams on eBay with a Clarins Feed makeup bag. I have too many hand creams to use and decided to sell these.
My local Boots has a recycling box for makeup items (with Maybelline), I have recycled a tube of Clinique City Block  yesterday. It has been open for a long time and not much left in it.

Another UU : Liz Earler No 9 Botanical Essence.  I love this and have a back up though don't want to use it yet as I want to get the three body sprays that I own done with.  Today, I'm wearing a Ted Baker one which is half gone.

A few UUs from the past few days:

Childs Farm Baby Moisturiser 250ml - WDBA and probably will do in the future. Love this stuff, so cheap and effective, and there's no mineral oil in it  

Nivea Pearl & Beauty 50ml - WDBA and probably will do, I like this, but I much prefer the Stress Protect version. 

And a few INs from today:

Avene Thermal Spring Water 150ml
Garnier Ambre Solaire Super UV Face Fluid SPF50 50ml
Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Shampoo 385ml
Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Conditioner 385ml

A few essentials and a new product to try

DD uses Childs Farm and really loves it too, she has eczema and the prescribed creams are thick and claggy but this one seems to be very light.

I am in the process of simplifying our home, I've been doing it for quite a long while and it really is a process, I keep going over the same areas every so often and find I can let more things go each time.  I've been watching quite a few people on Youtube and one guy said the following statement which really resonated with me so I thought I would share:

"The accumulation of physical possessions is not the greatest thing you can do with your life."

If only I had realised this sooner

I’m on the same journey. I think lockdown has forced us to look at and move around our crap to make our spaces work and feel better.

One UU from this morning:
