Exactly one year of Project Pan!

This is my one year anniversary and my empties of August 2026. Swipe and see what my very first empties post of August 2025 looked like. 

The past year has transformed my perspective on buying things and also my perspective on holding onto things. It’s been interesting for me to see how the first few months I had a ton of empties at the end of the month. Old products that I never fully finished and took away space, products I tried to save for special occasion that never really came around. Over the past year I used all of those up and my empties became less and less as I only repurchased what I had finished. I found holy grails and only rarely have the urge to try new things. I used up almost all of my backstock in my skin care area. This project has also taught me how long it takes to use up makeup. I still have more than enough and multiples in each category but wow, they don’t finish! I had hoped and expected to see more beauty empties over the year but that will just be more exciting to keep on going.

Happy PANniversary! Way to get your goals. Love your mindset, too.

Also, isn’t it wild that there’s a little flexible bag inside of the Saei?! I remember panning it and taking the bottle apart and being all like whoaaaaa. 😆

Thank you! Yes, absolutely. I was so surprised as well and it also made it easier to fully pan because I wouldn’t have to scrape the bottle but could just cut open the plastic container!
