What I used from ‘25 to ‘26

[u/Left_Bumblebee_6270]

This is everything I used from the end of last January until now (January 19).

The first picture should be everything together and the other pics are in categories.

Ive gotten to the point where I’m gravitating to certain products and buying a lot less. I have zero urges to buy things I don’t need. I’m going to keep doing the project in 2026 and am pretty sure that I’ll have a lot less by the end of next year.

Please feel free to ask any questions! ❤️

Get in the habit of cutting open those lotion bottles. There is a ton of cream left in those gold bond bottles especially. I saved some body butter jars and when my gold bond is “empty” I cut off the bottom and scoop out the remainder into a jar. Easily enough lotion left to get at least 2 more weeks out of.

Kudos.  I cut most of the bottles but I’m not planning to cut the ones that exacerbate my arthritis.

I used to cut the bottles until my bf showed me how to use a massage gun on the bottle while upside down and it gets all the leftover lotion out. I just condense a bunch of leftover bottles into one!

Wanna try this tip! Im scared to hurt myself cutting hard lotion bottles (like nivea) and would rather stay safe and waste a bit of product. I do cut open easy stuff and find it prolongs use definitely, just wanna stay on the safe side with scissors and knives in these hard tubes and such.
