do you have all of your Christmas decor down?

Nope. We still have lights on the roof. But, we do not turn them on. The weather hasn't been good enough for DH to take them down yet.

Are you (or DH!) a product junkie (i.e. Do you have a ton of products in the bathroom?)

Yes. My mom works for a beauty supply company

so I struggle keeping my 9,000 body sprays, hair sprays, conditioners, lotions, etc. organized and off the counter. Not to mention I buy my razors in bulk!

Umm.. Yea, it's all been down since Christmas night. Shit it is damned near Feb.

Certain products I am obsessed with, like Sugar lip balm for ex. and certain perfumes, so in the case I guess, yea I have ton of products- they're all over my house, not just in the bathroom.

P.S I know everyone wants to know: How are you feeling @KC1212? How's the recovery going? I've been thinking of you!

That is sweet of you to ask. I got home late yesterday evening. I was supposed to go home straight from the surgery (I begged my doctor to release me and was adamant that I wanted to recoup on my couch with netflix) but, after the surgery I was in more pain than I anticipated (it felt similar to a c-section) and I was DRUGGED. Like whoa. I remember telling a nurse "my crotch burned" and to give me more pain medicine.

I remember falling asleep on the toilet with the IV pole nearby.

And I remember telling my mom to look for the that "little pan to puke in".

Anyway, because I was puking - they made me stay overnight in the MOTHER / BABY UNIT!

Physically- I'm doing great. I'm moving around, etc. I've been better emotionally, as I'm sure you can imagine but, time will heal.

((hugs)) You are one tough woman!

Omg! It all sounds brutal! Just know that everyone is continuing to send you tons of positive thoughts (big hugs)

As for smonday- everything but tree.. Dd keeps asking where Santa is?

Supply hoarding, I've been throwing away a ton bc I wasted so much by not using during pregnancy and breastfeeding for so long. Just heard too much against fragrance in products... Sadly trying to use what hasn't gone bad and hubs is all like, "wow! That is strong!!!" Bc u haven't used anything he is now sensitive. Ugh. I guess chucking it all.

KC1212- glad you are feeling better physically. I'm sure you must be mentally and physically exhausted - hope you are able to rest. I am so sorry for all you have been through!

Christmas stuff is all down. We just put up our Mardi Gras wreath last week!

I love to take bubble baths so I have tons of bath products!

Blackvelvet · January 2014

@KC1212 That sounds like it was more invasive surgery then I though it would be. Glad you are doing better

As for Christmas stuff it was all down on NewYears.

I don't keep many products other them soap and lotion I don't wear makeup or do my hair or anything so not much on the counter. DH uses even less

Jen071407 · January 2014

All of the Christmas stuff is down except for the lights on the outside of the house - way too cold lately for MH to climb up on the roof.

I have a few certain products that I always use, but I don't think I come close to being considered a junkie.

freakyfast · January 2014

KC1212

Yes all Christmas stuff is done.

I am definitely a product junkie, I put 5 products in my hair alone BEFORE blow drying it. I am a lotion and lip junkie too.

GraceyandTroy · January 2014

All Christmas stuff is long packed away. DS's birthday is early January, so I couldn't wait to take down Christmas stuff and start decorating for his party. His party was Saturday and our house still looks like it.

Product junkie? I would say no, but my husband might disagree. I have my routine that I stick with and replenish as needed. I'm not always trying new things or anything, but I do have a pretty extensive collection of items that I use daily.

annibes · January 2014

Yes- that is the one thing I do in a timely manner!

I do- I am impulsive about products and will buy on a whim. Shampoo, conditioner, and face wash are the major problems for me.

All of our Christmas decor is down and has been for quite a while but we didn't do outdoor lights, so our clean-up was pretty easy.

I'm with @momarazzi007 on switching away from fragrances and other "bad" ingredients during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I'm now the one that can't tolerate scents; they actually make me feel sick (same with air fresheners). I've found alternative products that I like well enough, so I just have a bunch of old products around that I don't use. I feel too much guilt about throwing them away which I know is ridiculous because I know I won't use them again, particularly with us trying to concieve. This post actually makes me want to go home and start chucking things because now that I typed this out, I realize just how ridiculous hoarding old products is. So I'm deeming myself a recovering product junkie with a boarderline residual hoarding problem.

Get out of my brain!!! Lol, the guilt!!! The "I bought you!" The knowing they should've gone home with someone else... Or maybe I'm a little crazier than I thought before I started typing...
