I have a bazillion (ok maybe only milion tee hee) beauty products like soap, shower gel, lotion, spritzers, and hair products. Some are BARELY if at all used. I mean idk what should I do with them?! I am trying to simplify and pare down.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff to keep in your bathroom! Maybe you could give them away to friends or family who might want to try something new.

I just am like IDK some people are weird about that stuff......I barely buy any anymore but am given them as presents, I even have a drawer in the guest room filled for them! It's ridiculous and half of it ok more than half is the like not natural/organic kind. I wanna get soap from you ladies etc. xo

I have donated stuff like that to the local family center. They serve women and children that are in transition or impoverished.

The nursing home idea sounds often. I know a lot of time, the ladies there would love something to make them feel pretty and young. Sometimes, they are there because they have no family or their family is too busy. What a sweet idea to perk them up..lol
I am just in awe of this thought. Isn't it funny how such little things that seem simple to some people blow other people away..LOL

I also use cheap shampoo to wash my sweaters and you can use conditioner to stretch out sweaters that have shrunk.I don't know how many sweaters you have to wear in Texas.

I have washed handwashed sweaters in conditioner too:) AH I forget about the shelters and nursing homes, thank you! DUH! I just was curious if they might be like well this is open or looks like you used it. I am always leary cause of laws that are wonky.

You might also donate them to a local nonprofit thrift store. When my mom managed one, she was always getting stuff like that in and she would put it out for sell.

You can take the farmer's daughter off the farm but you can't take the farm out of the farmer's daughter!!
