Laura Sparkles, you are a beautiful and compassionate person, and that’s why you feel so emotional. I can totally relate to feeling overwhelmed with samples. I too, have so many that I have smelled and maybe enjoyed most of them, but I’m not going to use them up. I just did a big declutter- I still have so many listings to get through, oy- and what I started doing was including anywhere from 3-5 samples for free as a surprise to buyers. I find it does 3 things: make someone happy, which also makes me happy, thins out my sample stash, and boosts my ratings on Mercari. Win win win!
Your looking beautiful as always. I agree watching what’s going on in Maui really puts things in perspective when you think about what is most important in our lives.
I relate to so much of this. Not quite on the same level, but the feeling is the same. My ideal collection is about 8-10 of the best "me" scents. So far I have a couple and a few I need to sell/give away. Anyway, you're doing great and are a joy to watch. God bless you!
Yes, I love imperfection. Do it! Life is real and yes keep at it! Slow, forward motion! I think my dream collection is 52 total. 18-22 Perfumes / Oil Mists and 30-34 Body sprays for refreshing and keeping light in the constant heat and humidity. I agree with you on the FOMO, I think it's why getting rid of the samples is so hard. Maybe only keep the samples/discovery sets of houses you already like/ are in your short list of maybe 25 to keep? Or maybe the opposite b/c you want to experience something new. Give yourself a timeline, maybe one sample a day on the sets you are keeping to see what might make it into your collection. And after a month, make a decision on them. Would it make it into your collection or is it just ok? But YOU got this. Sometimes the littlest things can just set us off. We all go through it. De-cluttering videos always help me and I'm loving and enjoying Waterlily Sun so much. Big hugs!!! We got this, it's ok to feel and be sad with life sometimes.
