Here is a mini Learning to Live Minimally update and my first “Empties” post. Empties posts are a list of products you have finished up that month. These kinds of posts also generally go hand in hand with a spending ban or talk about how you need to save more money and use more of the products you have. I’m on a pretty tight budget as I’m trying to save up for Chris and I to move out.
Product’s I’ve used up in July:
Bumble & Bumble Color Support for True Reds Shampoo & Conditioner * (Discontinued)
Watch the video below for mini reviews on the products I used up this month and an update on my resolution. Don’t forget to recycle your beauty products! If you are interested in what makeup I’m wearing in this video, I listed it in the description box of the video.

How many products have you finished up this month? Do you have any savings goals?
I’ve been asked on several occasions how I make and edit videos. It’s a pretty long process so here it is all explained in video. If you enjoyed this behind the scenes, you will also enjoy the vlog I posted earlier in the week that spoke on what it has been like for me to work from home.
Filming isn’t all about the equipment (here is my camera info), as a beauty blogger it also has to do with my skincare and makeup. Even though I have normal to dry skin, I actually need to wear a matifying/shine minimizing or oil free moisturizer on top of my normal moisturizer to keep me from looking sweaty with this summer heat. The one I use is the X Out Shine Control Moisturizer. I use this every day that I need to film. See my other X Out posts here (their cleanser is amazing!).
The editing and planning process is longer to explain, so I demonstrated it above.

Good morning guys! Here is a look into my current skincare routine. All of the products are listed below and I explain how and when I use them in the video above.
I used to wash my face with a Clarisonic Mia but sadly I lost the charger. If you’d like to learn more information about the Clarisonic you can see my review here.
What do you use on your skin? Post your products in the comments so we can discover new things.
In the description box of my videos I’m going to start adding a list of the things I’m wearing since I often get asked. Would you like me to post them here on the blog posts as well? It will be a little more relevant when I start wearing makeup again (I can’t wait for that!) so let me know your thoughts.
