So, unless you have an extra $60 laying around, you might not be buying Fresh’s Brown Sugar Scrub. It’s great stuff, but I can’t afford that very often. And my shins, elbows, knees, and heels need some major smoothing. Try making this scrub and save yourself some major bucks. Feel free to substitute for what […]
Partially because of the first fall-like weather, and partially because I feel the need to keep using it up, I’ve been burning lots of tarts, candles, and other home fragrances.
First off - I tried a new Bath and Body Works wallflower in Kitchen Spice. I had heard great things about this scent, and it really […]
Since I’m on my no-buy/use-it-up, I’m trying to avoid ‘frivolous’ purchases. I have a pretty large bottle of John Frieda styling creme, but it’s nowhere near as effective as Frederic Fekkai. I hate to love it, but the smell is even wonderful (a slightly marine scent with olive leaf). When I […]
Now I’m finally getting somewhere. Last week I listed about 50 items up for swap - perfume samples, lotions, shower gel, and other prettyfying potions. Still basically showerless, I’ve been taking my gym bag with some scrubs and other goodies to try and use up. And I did! This week I […]
Well, as of about three hours ago, I finally have flushable toilets and working shower again, but we’re so not out of the woods. As in, the sewer lines under our home (and out to the street) may very well need to be replaced. But in any case I’ve been pushing ahead nonetheless. Baby steps […]
So, here we are at the beginning of Week 2 of the Use it Up Challenge. Have you finished any products yet? Don’t worry if you haven’t, with this challenge I have found that you have certain weeks when you don’t actually finish anything but you are making progress every time you use something you […]
Just to show you that I’m a person who practices what I preach, I have started my work on the Use-it-Up challenge. My Scented Life is actually beset with sewer line problems (I promise, no gory details) but the long and short of it is that I’ve been taking 3-minute showers this week. […]
For this assignment, you’re going to learn how to shrink your stash even further. There are several ways, and I want you to try at least one of these suggestions. These organization methods/techniques may even translate to other messy areas in your life.
1. Consolidate. This is really easy with […]
The easiest way to get a handle on just how much *stuff* we have is to organize it all in one place. If you’re super-organized (or just an excel geek like myself) you can even track your progress on a spreadsheet. In either case, if you follow these steps, you will soon find you have […]
Whether you’re a beauty blogger/writer, and have a big collection from reviews and articles, or are just a beauty junkie (let’s face it, I’m both), chances are your shower, closets, dresser, and other spots in your home are stashed full of scented lotions, scrubs, moisturizers, cleansers, and who knows what else. It gets kind […]
