Souvenirs from a Magical Place

Now that I’ve finished writing all three recaps of our Iceland vacation, I want to do a show-and-tell about the souvenirs that I bought. We bought some gifts for friends and family as well, but I won’t be posting those here because we haven’t given all of them out yet.

Obviously, I bought a bunch of beauty products! Keep reading to see more of my Iceland purchases…

Birthday in Iceland!

Well…I’ve reached the third and final recap of our Iceland vacation. (See parts one and two.) I’ve been dragging my feet on this one because it’s just been so fun to immerse myself in Iceland memories. At least I’ll have the memories, my photos, and these blog posts to carry with me. What a magical place:

Birthday Month Beauty Empties

Happy July! I can’t believe that our Iceland trip is over. I’m still mentally in vacationland and am fantasizing about a return trip!

I emptied plenty of products during my birthday month and decluttered a few items as well.

A Bucket List Vacation: Iceland

At the end of my last empties post I teased an upcoming vacation, which has now come and gone. So I’m here to recap our amazing vacation in the incredible country of ICELAND! Iceland has been at the top of my “I want to go to there” list for years. And I finally got to go to there! I can’t wait to share all our trip details with you. My trip recap posts will all be quite long, so buckle up.

Late Spring Empties

Happy June! We recently returned from a short trip to Austin to see my oldest niece graduate from high school. Big congrats to her!! We have a vacation coming up very shortly that I’m very excited about and will of course recap here after the fact.

Let’s take a look at the beauty products I emptied in May:

Plenty of Spring Empties

Happy May! Spring has fully arrived here in DC, and it has been so beautiful. We had some travel in early April and had a couple visitors as well, so it was a fairly busy month. I have quite a few empties from April, along with some declutters and single use products (apologies to Mother Earth).

Early Spring Empties

You know spring has arrived when the cherry blossoms hit peak bloom in DC, as they did last weekend. Even though there is a shitstorm taking place in this country, DC is truly beautiful in the spring.

I had more beauty empties than usual in March, and I decluttered a handful of products as well. Keep reading to see what I thought of everything.

Empties + A Blog Milestone

Happy March! I am excited that it feels like winter is finally beginning to lift. It’s been pretty cold here for awhile, and I cannot wait to not wear a heavy coat every time I set foot outside.

Also, happy TENTH blogaversary to me! This blog’s tenth anniversary was actually on February 17, but I didn’t feel like I had much to say in the moment. So I didn’t bother writing a dedicated post about it. Blogging is a hobby for me, and if I don’t feel like writing, I don’t write. But I can’t allow such a milestone to pass without acknowledgement! Ten years of blogging is absolutely something to celebrate; most people who start blogs (or influencer accounts, or podcasts) don’t keep them going for this long. So I’m going to give myself a pat on the back for still being here, even though I don’t post super often. Good job, me!

Let’s move on to my February beauty empties!
