Here is an update for my last project pan
skincare edition. Unfortunately, I don’t have the video update that should have
preceded this, but you can see most of the products in my empties videos – most
notably in part 1 and part 2 of my end of year empties video.
Up next – my intro for the next project pan
skincare edition!
Marketing: I’m PR friendly and would be delighted to try your products.
Contact me if there is something you would like to send for me to try and
review. Sending me a product does not guarantee that it will appear on my
channel.
Welcome back to my channel. I have joined another project pan – For the
Love of Panning. This project pan was created by Simple Southern Girl and I was
invited to participate by:
There as so many participants in this collab now that I recommend that
you do a YouTube search of “For the Love of Panning” to find all the
participants.
Lip Monthly – only have January & February left, then will cancel
GoodBeing Box – I have this one through February, then might cancel
BeautyFix – $24.95 + tax, this is the box that made the cut and I'll be subscribing to this long-term
Allure Beauty Box - I keep this on hold and reactivate when I see something cool in the spoilers
Unless otherwise stated in my video or description above, this product was purchased by me. I am not affiliated with manufacturers or any subscription service and am not compensated for the review. I promise you that you will always get my full and honest opinion.

Here is my intro for Project 100 Pan ~ collaborating with Elle S and will post a link to her video as soon as she posts it. In the meantime, if you are watching this video and would like to participate in this project, consider yourself tagged.
I will post updates when there is real progress to show, but will only run through those products and not the entire list again, so future videos for this project will be much, much shorter than this one. I tried really hard to shorten everywhere I could.

Thanks for joining me for my Finish 16 in 2016 lipstick edition. I have
about 75-80 lipsticks, many are not cruelty free. I intentionally picked 16
lipsticks that are not cruelty free. In my quest to become fully cruelty free,
I am using up things that are not cruelty free and only buy things that are
cruelty free.

Welcome to my channel. Fortunately I have found a couple project pan
challenges that I have been able to join – I do so much better using up my
stuff when I participate in project pans. My weekly makeup drawer also helps.
This is a challenge called Seven by Spring where you have to try to use up or
hit pan on seven products by March 20th. Some of my favorite people here are
participating in this challenge so be sure to check them out.

Welcome to my channel. Here is my finale for Finish 16 by 2016. I can’t believe how many products I finished. I actually filmed this on 12/30, but had so many time sensitive videos (unboxings, etc) that had to be published first, so there was a slight delay.
Watch my YouTube video
Anyway, Here are the products – you can see what is and is not cruelty
free below. It is my intention to work
through all the non-cruelty free stuff and never buy again, and work through
cruelty free stuff to see if it’s worth buying again.

GONE

I have completed a 3rd draft of my first novel and having fallen flat on my face with the query process with a net result of 14 rejections (one very kind, personal one, while the others were form letters). 6 agents didn't answer my query - at this point I'll take that as a no.
I've started a complete rewrite of my finished novel. I have another idea and have started crafting a YA novel, now also a work in progress.
