Hump Day Poll: Hobbies
My mom had a ton of hobbies. She was a scrapbooker , cardmarker, diamond art maker, slot machine jockey, bingo player, cross stitcher , occasional sewing thrown in when I was a kid to save money. She loved being creative. I also love being creative but haven't done much on that front. I suppose you could say my Etsy shop is about as creative as I've gotten lately but hobbies that become something you depend on money for, it becomes less fun and more job. (Not that that's producing anything right now anyway since I've not done a single thing with it yet this year because of the house chaos but I digress.) I have this bad habit of going full force into ideas and pooping out on them. I still have a bin full of stuff to make risers for stuff like soap, tea kettles , etc waiting for me to do something with them. I have drawers full of stuff for craft projects that rarely get touched and then inherited a bunch of Mom's stamps and card m...
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!
