I start a new job next week! Considering I have spent more of the year unemployed than employed, this is a Big Deal. I should be excited, but I'm just kinda... numb. Like I will believe it when I see it. I half expect to get a call

Maybe instead of Monthly Empties, this should be Quarterly Empties??? Yay, for the Summer of Chaos and Depression, making me not want to do anything other than simply survive each day. Anyway, here are the products I used up or discarded during the last three months: Used up: 1. Redken
Used up: 1. Avene - Hydrance Light (40 ml): I've used up samples of this before. I like it as a daily moisturizer since it's light and soaks in nicely before I put on makeup. Doesn't irritate. Should I ever get to the end
Used up: 1. Batiste - Original Dry Shampoo (deluxe sample): this isn't my favorite brand but I can work with it. It's pretty reliable, although I don't think it "disappears" as well as other brands so it makes my hair feel a
I'm convincing myself I'm done with a tariff stock up. Yes, there will be items I haven't thought of and we'll just have to deal with paying more (and questioning if it's really a need). But I also feel like
I'm trying to be a rational creature and not let anxiety and the "what ifs" get to me, but I did spend some money this week on those little electronic things that may be harder to get in the near future. Also some basic toiletries (such
Been a bit – busy week at work and just general life stuff. I spent $210 on a Shiny item but I feel vaguely justified because it's not something I have (fancy edition of books I love and I only own beloved-and-battered paperbacks) and it commemorates an important year.
Small win! I did not spend money at the smelly store. I have a couple of free product rewards that expire next month so I keep toying with carts, but I don't need anything right now and nothing is catching my eye. I was very tempted for a
Triple digits into the year! I feel like this should be a good time to look back and reflect. After all, in some cultures, reaching 100 days in a milestone and worth celebrating. Funny how I don't feel like celebrating. Instead, I'll mention a small win:
I spent $1.80 (and a buncha points) at the Orange Cosmetic store today. They sent a prestige coupon and I had been worried about stocking up on a product that comes from overseas (sigh). It's a bit of a luxury splurge but I love it and I&
Declutter time, part 4! Knowing I had a couple full-size hair products arriving this week, and that I wanted a better idea of the random samples I had stashed away, I went through my hair product hoard. I ended up decluttering approximately (I lost count near the end as I
I spent $108.96 on items from the Orange Cosmetic store. On the bright side, a full quarter is the longest break I've taken from spending from that store in years. I'm hoping to continue the streak after today. This whole tariff fiasco is really putting
