I think this might be the least amount of money used up this year….
I managed to remember to use some hair foils. I dont assign a financial value to foil packets, but they are part of a project pan.
I was also able to finish some items I have in my skincare project pan.
The total amount used for April is $25.00
Did you manage to finish anything?
A few months ago, I purchased a new Coach bag. Its the Jes Crossbody with Rex by Guang Yu. If you have been following me for awhile, you know I love a Coach bag.
I really wanted an orange one because my true weakness is orange accessories (well, anything orange) but those bags are difficult to find and when you do, they are twice the price. This bag went on sale (70% off if remember correctly) and it was about $80. I have been using it quite regularly and it has surprised me with how much it holds.
As you can see, there are two compartments, with an outside pocket large enough to hold an iphone.
I can fit all the items pictured below inside.
I love that I can fit everything I need inside this bag! (I did not take a photo of what was inside the brown Coach pouch, but it has my mints and candies inside.)
All of what is pictured below fits inside that little pink and white pouch. Its pretty much everything I would need to have with me.
What do you have in your bag?
About a year ago, I joined Beachbody. We all know what was going on last year and sadly, we are still facing the same challenges. Gyms are open with reduced capacity as well as restrictions on group exercises (my favorite). And while I am all for wearing masks in public, I cant imagine how hard it is to work out while wearing one.
This is why I chose to renew my Beachbody On Demand subscription. Plus you cant beat the convenience of working out at home.
Over the course of the last year, I have completed 4 programs – even doing several rounds of two programs. I began with 21 Day Fix and then Barre Blend when it released early due to the pandemic. I purchased early access to MBF/MBFA as well as 9 Week Control Freak. Yesterday Lets Get Up released, and I purchased early access to that as well. You do not need to purchase early access to any programs in Beachbody to use it.
I have lost over 20 pounds over the course of last year. It was definitely a combination of moving my body and changing the way I eat. I am currently very close to being at my goal weight but my real goal was to have stamina to just live life and stop being so tired and winded.
Despite the hate Beachbody gets for being an MLM, I have to say that the workouts helped me.
This weekend my community is ‘hosting’ a shredding event. In our neighborhood, its usually hosted by the Knights of Columbus or the library. Sometimes they pair it up with electronics recycling, but its been awhile since we have seen this.
We did not have a shredding event in 2020 for obvious reasons so I have quite the pile of papers to be shredded. Im not counting each piece of paper because that would be insane.
Does your community host an event like this? Have you been looking forward to getting rid of your paperwork?
This update will be short and sweet –
I have been doing pretty good with all of my projects. Ive been steadily using up products and slowly decluttering and selling items.
I wont officially count the numbers for my declutter until my pick up has been scheduled. We have been continually boxing things to donate. I am hoping to have the pick up scheduled around June.
So far I have finished 5 Project Pan items. (I will have a more detailed post regarding my Project Pan)
I have sold 11 items this year. This is fantastic since I did suspend sales on Poshmark and Mercari for most of last year because of the pandemic.
I have used up 26 empties – which isnt great but something is better than nothing.
Have you been keeping track of things you have finished, sold, or are donating?
This year, I decided that instead of doing a seasonal skin care project, I thought I would switch things up. I have a handful of hair care samples that should be easy to finish, so I will be working on getting them out of my collection.
I did not include a hair care category when I did my inventory because I have so few hair care products.
These are the samples I will be using:
This project will be open until June 18th (should I need to go the full time).
Will you be doing a seasonal project?
