personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I started doing Project Pan around the same time that I started this blog, not because I started the blog, but because I moved, pretty far, twice in three months and was seriously disturbed by how much space all of my products took up in my move. And how many products I had that I … Continue reading Two Years of Project Pan
I have been up north all week and I am so ready to get home. I'm tired, I miss my cat, my bed, and my Christmas decorations. I also broke both thumb nails this week and didn't bring any nail supplies and have just had to deal with them for the whole week. Which now … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Solo travel, serums, and in/out lists
Like I predicted back in my very light June Empties post, July is a heavy month. As in it didn't even fit in the box I normally use to store my empties during the month. There's also a good mix of products here, some skincare, some hygiene, some coffee, a whole assortment of stuff. Let's … Continue reading July Empties
This month is feeling a bit less predictable than February did. I'm expecting a very large paycheque so I might have a bit more flexibility to be able to do some of my other goals that require spending money. But I'm not sure, I need to see how much it will be before I can … Continue reading What I’m Buying in March
We are entering year 2 of keeping track of the cleaning, hygiene, and beauty products that I have been using. I find it super interesting, and I don't think I expected to. When I went in to doing a Project Pan last year it was all about editing every product I used down to a … Continue reading January Empties
I thought it would be fun to do a round up of the things that I have been influenced into buying. Originally, I was thinking about doing it as a 2021 round-up, but as I am very much someone who could be described as "very online", being influenced is part of that, although I think … Continue reading Influenced Vol. 1
So this is slightly different, not only is this things I want, it's also things I have an order placed on it. But I have run out of a ton of makeup and skincare items, which is great from the perspective of my Project Pan, but of course I'm out of the things I'm actually … Continue reading Wednesday Wants: Beauty
I was actually pretty surprised when I opened my empties shoe box and saw how little there was. This is probably a product of my no-buy month, but I felt like I used a lot up this month and I definitely need to do a skincare order/shop very soon. I'm going to get more into … Continue reading August Empties
I am feeling slightly derailed as my blog post schedule is being impacted by my real life. We were supposed to be moving back into the office today, but then there was a government announcement that it was still recommended that non-essential employees still work from home until September 7. I have very mixed feelings … Continue reading June Empties
Compared to March it looks like I didn't use anything up this month! Mostly, I just finished up some samples that I have had for several months. The nice thing about a Project Pan is that you actually do use those random things that you have accumulated over your years of purchasing. I do see … Continue reading April Empties
