Project 50 Bottle Update

I've been doing great this week. I've taken 3 showers a day and used 25 products each time and I have finished 50 whole bottles!

As if. Still, this week has shown an exceptionally high volume of "empty" bottles. Of course, I may have cheated. Just a little. In fact, I decided to do a little reorganization of the icky bathroom o' bottles chaos.

So I turned this...

Into this...

While it doesn't look terribly different, it is sooo much more organized. I put all like items together and moved stuff that was oldest to the front. Despite a lack of confidence in myself to use this new system to get rid of products, it actually worked really well this morning, my first day. I used an older conditioning spray and heat protectant for my hair and some lovely body spray that I found I still really enjoy.

I also found some stuff that was old and needed to be thrown out. This is everything except one bottle that got refilled with another product that had a fault spray nozzle. Oh, and yes, I am counting each of those eye drop bottles as a single unit!).


And there's some stuff that I truly don't want any more and will never use. Most of these items are barely touched. So, instead of letting them linger, I was going to give them to a women's shelter. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there is a shelter within 45 minutes of my house, which makes donating too inconvenient (yes, I know that makes me a horrible person). Instead, I think I may try to sell them online. I'll put a couple of things up and see how it goes. If it ends up working really well, this project may go by very quickly!


So, my count for this week is... 24!! Almost halfway there!! Awesome!! Job well done!!

So, all sarcasm aside, I did actually use up a couple of those bottles through actual, normal use. So while my total number is pretty high, I'm more proud of the 2 bottles I actually used up. And with just a drop or 2 left in one of my makeup remover bottles and maybe even less in one of my body wash bottles, I already have a good start for next week!
