July 2014 by alovelylittlethought-1 featuring a volumizing mascara

It's been a crazy month with my internship and getting ready for my trip home to my parents next week. So I've gone back to basics with really light make up and simple statesman pieces in my fashion choices. While this might not be all too exciting it was fitting to the weather and the mood situation this month. 

That's all for now! 

My product gathering problem

I admit that I have a problem. It's really not all that dramatic, but I go through phases and this is the best part of that cycle. At least. In the long run. The thing is that I have a tendency to gather products, mostly but not limited to care products, because I want to try them, and many never get used up. This has multiple reasons, but three stand out : 

1. When I really like a product, I don't want them to be finished. Especially when they were pricey. 

2. Products that I don't particularly like tend to be ignored. (Things I really detest I try to give to someone who can make better use of them, and if they r that bad then they sadly end up in the trash) 

3. Last but not least, I always want to try new things. Especially because most things are not so great that I cannot imagine using anything else for that purpose. 

So the project remains to use what I have. Now, if I were to run out of shampoo for example, which is not likely, I will get a new one. But I want to use up products that I have lying around because I have more that enough products I started, and away more than enough that I haven't even started but have for when I finish the one I have open. 

Apart from a few strategic purchases that I plan to make during my trip to the states in August, I won't buy any new products until I have used up 8 products. I'm very curious how long this will take me and how well it works. I think I will try to do an empties post when I finish and try to reflect. I should really do this more often. 

Bye! 

Sunday Post

Hello hello,

I had my last day of school on Friday, and start my internship tomorrow. So although I have plenty of prep that I have to do for tomorrow I am also enjoying this transition to pamper myself a little bit because I want to start this last phase before my summer break revitalized and refreshed.

So I got some organizing stuff out of the way first because that really does have to take priority. For the fun part I started by making cake batter and putting it in the oven. In the time the cake took to bake I applied a clay mask that I am liking mask and then kicked back and watched some YouTube videos while that was working its magic. When the cake was finished I took it out and let it cool while I took a nice hot shower, during which I finished the deep facial cleansing and deep conditioned my hair since I don't condition it much anymore.

I might go the movies later or stay in and watch a movie with my roomie when she gets back. The rest of the day will probably continue as relaxed and fun as it has gone so far, but that is still wide open.

That's all for now, until next time.
