I was doing lots of traveling at the time- so I just took them with me. When they didn't get on well with my body chemistry I used them to deodorize the room where we have our kitty litter box-- so nine went to waste!

At first I found that it really took a concerted effort to use up all of my half empty products, but now I relish the thought of using up what I have.

Well, knowing that I was going to do this post was motivation to finish up everything that was getting close to empty-- so I really did focus a great deal of attention to using up those things.

It is such a great way to keep you aware of what you have, and how much you have left in your bottles, tubes etc. Just grab a big bag, and toss it in a closet-- that's what I did. <br /><br />I also find that it helps in giving me more of a spending structure.
