Hump Day Poll: What Takes YOU Back?
In a world that is spiraling down the toilet ever changing, and sometimes not for the better, there are small things we can do to create little pockets of nostalgia from a simpler time. It's harder and harder to find things from your childhood and if you do, often they aren't the same. (I still lament the death of the taste of Chef Boy Ardee boxed pizza mix. Sigh) But for me, there are a few scents that I can rely on that are still out there. When we were dating, one of my favorite scents was that spray musk and I was tickled to still be able to find it! One spritz of it and I'm ready for a night on the town with the teenaged Mr in his Iroc. I was also happy to find Night Magic from Avon is still available and gives me that same feeling. My friend got it for me last year and with as much as I use it (rarely to never), I'll have it until I'm dust. (I did find the solid perfume compact in a bin and still have it if I want to be truly...
Love my lotions, a bit more of a cream girl though. I purged mine down to a few faves. My side goal is use up. I want a minimalist pantry and products. I'm trying to get used to the cupboard and pantry looking sparse, but it keeps me from wasting.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good goal! I need to go through my pantry and clean/purge at some point. I don't discriminate creams...6 tubs! š (Two are the discontinued ones)
DeleteWe do have a lot of lotions and I definitely need to use some this time of year too.
ReplyDeleteYou'd better get to pumping some of that eucerin! You don't want old man skin! š
DeleteOk, for some reason your lotion obsession just made me smile! I also have a lotion that I refuse to use....only for special occaisions, because they discontinued it (I have about 3bottles left though!) As for side goals...I have lots of non health related side goals...financial goals for my savings and extra payments on my mortgage are my big ones. I have purging goals....as in purging the unncessary items from my house!!! Stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad my lotion hoarding brought a smile to you! Those are good goals! We paid and extra mortgage pmt every year and rounded up by $25 for the life of our mortgage (and told them to apply the extras to interest). Knocked 7 years off for us. Totally worth it!
DeleteI am terrible about using any kind of lotion or cream. Always have been. Aside from some hand cream before bed, or the occasional lotion or potion to my face, I rarely use anything, but have a closet full of the stuff. Lip balm is the only thing I'm consistent with.
ReplyDeleteAt least your lips are velvety smooth even if you can sand chairs with your elbows! Bwaahahaha!
