Thanks PALady for mentioning decluttering.

I forgot to mention my May ORC is complete. I emptied out two 2-drawer filing cabinets, reorganized with the Freedom Filer, and sorted out, re-filed or shredded all those papers! All the unwanted paper was taken to the church for their day school program. (They have a collection bin and receive money for the school).

How could I have forgotten that?

Just Bee, don't be embarrassed about finally getting to your Dessert Treats. I have 3 bottles of shampoo waiting to be used that were purchased before I moved here in 2006! You're right, our products last much longer than we thought they would.

Just another reminder: Your products last much longer than you think.

Don't I know it! I may never have to buy another shower get again. Every time I bought one I was like, well it'll get used. This month I used up an old Yves Rocher Holiday Delight Sugared Almond shower gel. I don't know how old it was but I do know I bought it before 2008, because that's when I became an Avon rep, which didn't help my problem at all.

Hello fellow compacters. I am ready to start June. No new beauty items have come in, but boy are they slow to use up. What was I thinking continues to be my thoughts as I look at the same things on the chopping block. It is a slow process, so I look at it as an investment and shall use them before buying new. It is one thing that has been going up in value. I haven't really found anything yet that is bad, but I tend to repurpose if that should happen. Bring on June, good luck to all of you, and thanks for all your posts. They did not come in one day, they won't go out in one day. But no money going out for trying new things, so that is a victory for me.
