Labor Day Weekend Recap
How do? It's the start of a new month again. I have to say, decorating for Fall early this year was absolutely the right thing to do. I want to say I put stuff up August 12th-ish and not only did it put me in a better mood but I usually decorate early September and then it feels like a deadline. Having all of this up was calming in the blazing heat and humidity and gave me something to look forward to. The Mr and I had our birthday celebration Saturday. I had him pick up my favorite cupcakes and it's the first year we didn't have an actual cake which felt weird and kind of sad. I grew up on grocery store cakes with overly sweet frosting and roses or balloons on the edges. Sadly since everything is off-site and shipped into stores now, they are as dry as the desert no matter where we try to get them. Even Mom and Pop bakeries have the same problem. I really don't want to bake my own cake so cupcakes it is and they looked like they hit it ou...
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! 😆 (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! 😄
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!
