Why do I have 30yr old acrylic paint from elementary school? Why have I moved it dozens of times and thousands of miles, unused?

Long story short: CRIPPLING PERFECTIONISM!

The inner voice that says “don’t use that if you can’t use it perfectly.” The focus on productivity that lies to us and says that you don’t deserve the joy of frequent creativity. The falsehood that you must make a finished project - how dare you live in the moment and like it?!

These are my mental-health-preserving perfection-bashing perfectly imperfect pieces of trash art. Now it’s a race to use up this degrading paint and enjoy EVERY LITTLE BRUSHSTROKE (and not a moment more)! No guilt about stepping away to start something new, no pressure to finish, JUST JOY! 💖💖💖

We aren’t promised tomorrow. Find your joy today. Use it up, y’all!

Frenshe Lavender Cloud: essentially I associate this scent with bedtime now. I have another tub of the body butter next to my bed already it’s so rich without feeling greasy.

Loved this ogx coconut pair but currently trying raw sugar lychee S&C and might just like it more 🤷‍♀️

Method body is an easy staple for me and this scent also smells and feels like bedtime for me as well 😴

Lastly, I loved how the up&up sunscreen felt on my skin! Not heavy or sticky but felt like it protected me well outside a lot this Summer.

I have adhd and ocd, and I have accumulated so much stuff through freebies, gifts, and my own shopping. I love the idea of using beauty and self-care items and other things, but I get more of an enjoyment with getting the item or ordering it and tend to forget about it after and rarely use any of the stuff I've accumulated.

I want to change and I discovered project pan so I'm really excited to start using stuff that has just been collecting dust around my house.

The DP hue gloss is my fav for my copper hair with strawberry highlights. The L’Oréal iron sleek coat has replaced the color wow spray in my routine. I hate finished the cocokind and Caudalie sunscreen. I love the warming eye masks to use before bed as a contacts wearer.
