I often feel like a crazy person, keeping my trash and then talking about it on the internet. But, it is satisfying to see that I actually do use up products. Doing these monthly empties videos has really helped me take better inventory of what I buy.
For example, I never have more than two or three candles ready to be lit. I like to burn what I have and then go back to the store to stock up. You might be mistaken, considering how many Bath and Body Works hauls you see on my channel. But I am using the products, and these videos keep me accountable.
I have also noticed my makeup purchases have decreased significantly. It takes forever to finish a product, so why not enjoy it and use it, instead of rushing on to the next thing?
I had a lovely comment on this video from Tracy:
I am always SO excited to see your empties videos on my newsfeed (well any of your videos, really - let's be honest)! Another amazing empties video! You always inspire me to use up what I actually have instead of buying new products! Hugs!
Thanks Tracy! I hope many of you feel the same way. Even if you aren't going to film yourself, keep those empties for a while and reflect. Did you like it? Was it a pain to finish? You may also feel a sense of accomplishment, finishing something:)
