So, the declutter.
Where do I start?
1. SO MUCH PRODUCT. No wonder so much of it was out of date. Would be good if there was some acknowledgement of how much of it was gifted.
2. On the subject of things being gifted - the influencers receive so much gifted goodies, they don't respect their products at all; things being gifted is the reason they are not used up and allowed to go to waste.
Look, if I treat myself to a nice moisturiser, shower gel, anything, I will use every last drop. Because I spent my own money on it.
My influencer friend from my home country says she gets gifted so much, anything she decides she can't use, she gives to family and non-social media friends so there is as little wasting as possible.
3. [This one is just me being nit-picking]
So, everything she decided to throw away, she just shoved in one bag. I mean it's Katie so we can't expect much, but in the ideal world, you would empty the leftover product, rinse the packaging and put it in the recycling bin. I do that with things I finished off but then I probably finish 1-2 things at any given time so it's easier to keep up, wash the containers as I go and put them in recycling. She reads here so maybe she'll do better next time.
4. I prefer declutters when people tell you why they get rid of things - not suitable for their skin type, gave them a reaction, item doesn't do anything, I don't know... Well Katie can't really do that, because she got rid of things because they were old. Well, maybe next time, she will have less products and can do a declutter where the reason for things being chucked away is other than them being old
Now, I am not saying, I have never thrown an item away because it was old. It happens. Sometimes you have one too many things open, something gets pushed to the back of your bathroom shelf/cabinet and you find it weeks later and it's gone off. But it's not normally 50 products. Maybe 2 at the most.
Double post, sorry!
See, with the food bank switch I feel like just do it, no need to document/photograph it because then it becomes a bit holier than thou. It’s like all those people who filmed themselves doing a food shop drop off for their elderly relatives during lockdown 1.0.
Agree. Mention it but don't have to film yourself doing it. Also, as I said before, I hope they checked what was needed and didn't just buy things they
thought were needed. I think people just assume foodbanks need pasta and tinned tomatoes, well, they don't always do. Depending on area, they might need very specific items. A while ago, my local one was asking for things like olive oil/cooking oil and tinned fish, but for example didn't need period products. Who knew, huh?
Oh Geoff, you're so funny
