Project Pan: The Last in the Series

Hi there! I have been participating in the beauty trend/social media challenge #projectpan, and I feel like it is time it’s over. It has taught me so much and I have gotten to the point where I am not spending money because “I don’t have something.” It was a combination of the book Spark Joy […]

Project Panning and Sparking Joy

Good morning, everyone! Since I’ve been project panning, I have been taking a hard look at my shopping habits. I used to be horrible! The reason is due to not tidying up my cabinets and seeing what I already had. It’s been an insane amount of things I have gone through, and I can’t believe […]
