Skincare Sunday: How much soap does one face need?

I was cleaning my bathroom the other day and noticed that I had not one, not two, but three facial soaps or scrubs sitting on my counter! And then I remembered I had two more sitting in the fridge, not to mention some trial size goodies. Is this normal? Does this sort of accumulation happen to you?

Before I make myself look like some sort of crazy hoarder (which maybe I am), two of them were gifts from my mom from a while back (gratefully used), and the Fresh Soy cleanser was a full-sized freebie I received from Sephora (due to a lucky mistake). I think on weekends, I'll do quick reviews of my face soaps. I really love all of these guys--- they're all at least 1/3 used, except the newest Fresh Soy.


In terms of life, I hope you're having a good labor day weekend! A friend offered to drive to the outlets, so I of course tagged along in her car. All I have to say about outlets, is that people go crazy for Coach. We got there before the stores opened and noticed a line set up outside the door. It was only several people there when the doors opened, so I popped in a few person line to see what the commotion was about --- apparently they had 20% off entire store coupons being handed out to everyone. I don't know why they felt the need to hand them out. Couldn't they just deduct at the register? Waste of trees! I saw some keychains I liked, but decided to come back later. Unfortunately, later never really happened, because the line became like 20 or so people long. As much as I wanted a cupcake or grasshopper keychain, it wasn't worth making my friends wait. Sad. I'll get one sometime, without that crazy line! Have you ever seen this sort of production on sale days? Lines outside stores? It's mind boggling.

That said, I had a good experience in other outlet stores without lines--- got a couple really cute accessories and some other things.

Hope your weekend is a happy one!

Happy Labor Day.

Love in the dove,

  1. oooh... about the handing out coupons thing..... I went shopping this weekend and they were doing the same thing in all the stores..... it's like.... why don't they just label the on sale items like usual? Maybe it's to make it *special*

  2. actually..... the dumbest was express because not everything was on sale and they still handed out coupons.... but also they had to label the ones that WERE. It made it sooooo confusing.....

  3. OMG yes, the coach outlets are insane everywhere! At least whenever I go to the ones in NY. i love the keychains but yeah definitely not worth the long wait in line unless you're buying a bunch of bags or something. :(

    haha you have a lot of facial cleansers! I probably should branch out but I always use the same one asian brand...

  4. Yeah, that is such a dumb way to have a sale! I would love to see some of those washes! I usually have two or three different face soaps at any one time on my bathroom counter!
