January Empties
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…

A Full Year of Project Pan
I thought it would be interesting to reflect on a full year of tracking the empties that I used up throughout the year. So overall, I don’t know how effective it was, I still have a lot of product, but the majority of it is stuff that I use every day now, I have a…

December Empties: Lotion, Mascara, and the Germolene fan club
It has been a full year of logging my empties and tracking my waste and doing a Project Pan, I’m going to go through them all and see if there are any conclusions I can draw or lessons I can learn. But December was a very normal month, although I have to say that I…

October Empties
When I picked up my empties box today I thought it must be packed full because it was so heavy. It was decently full, but I think that most of the weight came from the couple empty glass containers that were in it rather than a great abundance of used up product. I also have…

August Empties
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…

Project Pan: Powder
I’ve had this post scheduled for weeks, but I kept pushing it because even though replacing an essential make up product or toiletry item was in my exceptions list for my no-buy month, I was still doing a no-buy month. But if I’m going to get something that could be considered clean or low-waste beauty…

July Empties
This was a big month for using stuff up. Some of it makes sense, a few things I have been using since last November and some were purchases I had to make because I haven’t yet got used to having to be prepared and planning ahead to avoid using plastic/packaged products. This is a great…

June 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…

May Empties
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…

April 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…
