Zen for 2010

In my quest to conquer some of my beauty clutter, I cleaned out my linen closet last weekend. Wow, I had no idea how much stuff I had! Fellow beauty blogger, Gouldylox had popped into the spa the other day sporting some great looking hair. She said it was her Wen cleansing conditioner. Guess what? I had a bottle of it in the abyss known as my linen closet! How much had I paid for it? $32. Stay tuned for my review of it tomorrow.

I also had been needing a new toothbrush...voila! A brand new cute pink Supersmile toothbrush was awaiting me to the tune of $9. In addition, I found a replacement Oral B brush head for my electric toothbrush that retails for $18. Add to that a cute shirt I found with tags still on & my closet discoveries produced a bounty of over $100!



Disappointing? The tucked away tube of retinol Philosophy product Help Me that had expired before I tried it! Expired Vitamin A can do more harm than good. Yep, $40 down the drain. Goals for this year are going to be focusing on awareness of what I already have. What have you unearthed recently that you forgot you had?

    I have so many travel sized things in my cabinet that I really need to go through and use. I always forget I have a mud mask and when I find it, I use it instantly!

    It was like Christmas all over again digging thru that closet- I did the same thing with a mask sample this weekend!

    That's good advice about the product expiration-what kind of things can happen if you use expired vitamin A?

    I need to go through my closet. Its too bad people don't want half used products. :-) I have scores of them. I always feel bad about tossing them, but they are taking up so much room! I really need to go through my linen closet. I keep meaning to do it...
