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
Okay, that's a bit dramatic, but this is the last monthly empties post. I do have to say that it is already feeling very freeing to not have to keep my empty containers. I just clean them out and dispose of them according to my municipality's recycling instructions. It feels weird that it feels so … Continue reading December Empties: The End
This was a month of a slight pivot back to lower waste hygiene products. Which felt good to be back to my normal routine. Also, in September I actually made use of the fact that I've been holding on to my empty containers for the whole year and used some of the smaller ones to … Continue reading October Empties
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.

I'm not certain if I am actually going to buy anything due … Continue reading Sephora Sale – VIB Canadian Edition
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
It's that time again! Time to check in on what I used up in the month of May. This is part of me tracking what I use up for Project Pan, actually learn what I like versus what is trendy/ if I am being influenced by social media, and keep track of my plastic waste … Continue reading May Empties
