Happy October

Wow its been awhile since I have posted. I have been busy with the kids in school and working on my resume and trying to figure out what to do next in my life. I am lucky where I have a part-time job while I am looking for something else. I have never had to look for a job which is amazing for being employed for over 15 years, but at the same time I haven't had a job that I picked.

All of this has kept me busy and not looking at new makeup. I haven't done many swaps, but instead going through all my stuff and using things that I either haven't ever used or things I forgot I had. I have also taken things out of my stash and put up for swap. My swap boxes are getting fuller again.

I also have done some Birthday and Christmas shopping. My husband and I share a birthdate (thought he is five years older than me) and our kids are Nov 4 and Dec 22nd. It makes the last three months of the year expensive. I like sales and right now, like last year, there are lots of great sales on everything. Guess that is one of the only good things about the economy.

I did an overhaul of my skincare system since the start of August and now on the right track of what I use that helps with my skin issues. Atleast for now it all works. I was low on all my staples to begin with so buying something completely different wasn't that bad of the past few months. My skin looks how it was before I had my daughter which was when my skin changed drastically. I cleaned out my bathroom cabinet of all the things I could use that might help (which really didn't) and now have an empty shelf and more space so the things I use are organised and easy to find.

So between going through my complete stash and gifts to buy, I have no desire for anything new. So I am keeping to my "no/low buy".
