2015 Empties Grand Finale and Reflection on Minimalism

Hello Internet! The time has come!! My 2015 empties round up on the last day of the year! This has been a great year for empties for me. I really learned a lot about what I like, what I don't like, and discovered earlier this year that I no longer enjoy having a large collection of makeup, skincare, and the like. I was...

October/November Empties and Minimalism Update

Hi Internet, Today's empties post is a little over due. I promised myself I would only keep empties for 30 days and then let them go as last time I held onto them for almost 9 months. I feel shame. In my defense, I was trying to keep a whole year's worth of empties in an attempt to get a visual understand of...

Winter Empties [March - April]

Empties are my guilty pleasure. I love watching empties videos on youtube, empties posts on instagram. My empties are important to me because every item brings me one step closer to my minimalist goals. It also means I haven't wasted my money if I used something up ;) One of my goals for achieving a more minimal lifestyle is to not own more...

Minimalist Living Part 1 - Identifying Areas of Clutter

As much as I like those lifestyles though, I don't think that is something I can attain at the moment. But there are elements of minimalism that I would like to bring to my current life situation, such as...

Closer Look| Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask

I have had oily skin all my life. And I mean OILY. Makeup didn't last long on my face, nothing stayed on my eyelids. I would look very shiny within an hour of applying makeup. The struggle was real. I became an expert on all things oil control. I tailored my cleansers, moisturizers, and foundations to my oily skin condition. What I wasn't...

Perfume: My Three Most Worn

So I watched a very unusual movie the other day called Perfume. Set in the 1700s, about a boy born with a very keen sense of smell that led him down a path of murder in search for the perfect fragrance. What fascinated me was the art of perfumery and the effect it has on your senses and emotions. And it made me...

January Products I've Used Up

It's time for some empties peeps. I haven't made an empties post in a very long time. Empties are my favorite type of video to watch on youtube and a hashtag that I check regularly on instagram (which I have an account by the way, follow me @withjenzy). Plug that shit Jen, plug that shit. So, this January I finished up: 1. Herbal...

New Year Update - Goals for 2015

Hi blogosphere, 2015 is here!!  The last time I made a post was March 8, 2014. That's the first goal I have for 2015, to really dive into my blog more.
