Panning Pro Tag

Hello lovelies, I saw this tag floating around the Project Pan Community and I thought I would go ahead and do it. 

1) How did you learn about project panning? What was your first impression?

--> I had heard about project panning years ago and had once attempted it, however it was a complete fail and I got over it quickly enough. Then, a little less than a year ago, I started to see decluttering videos come up on Youtube and I became addicted to watching those. I noticed that a lot of the people who did decluttering also did project pans. I have been addicted ever since. 

2) What is the hardest thing you've panned? The easiest?

--> I think the easiest thing to pan for me has been eyeshadows, and I mean I only hit pan not completely use them up. Setting powders are also pretty easy for me to pan. The hardest is pretty much everything else. Lip products, with the exception of liners, are really hard for me because I like to rotate those, same goes for blush. Face primers also take me forever and a day to get through so I never end up using them completely in a project and I guess that makes them hard.

3) Have you attempted a Pan That Palette? Why or why not?

--> No, I think that having to stick to one palette for an entire year is way past my league of project panning. I don't know that I would be able to actually commit to it. I love rotating my palettes so often that it would be too difficult for me to be stuck using the same palette for a year. I am trying to hit pan on as many shadows as I can this year though and that is going amazing! 

4) Has panning affected your makeup buying habits? If so how?

--> I think that taking an inventory has helped more with my shopping habits than project panning. I do like to find products that I would be able to keep progress on and I reach for those more than something that I can't do that with. I guess I do think twice before I buy anything though. I mean that I always try to finish the products in my projects before I buy more for that specific category.

5) What do you plan to pan next?

--> I am always doing full project pan and I have several going on now, so I don't know how to answer this question. I love doing them roulette style because that way I have no idea of what I am going to be panning next.

6) Where do you get your panning inspiration/motivation?

--> From the panning community. It is such an amazing and supportive group of individuals. Seriously my favorite part of project panning is the community.

7) What is your favorite thing about the panning community?

--> Again, so supportive and motivational. It is such a positive environment and I didn't think that still existed on the internet. 

8) If you're currently project panning what one item is giving you the most trouble?

--> Like I said I am always project panning. Lip gloss. I have multiple lip glosses to get through and I swear they don't go anywhere no matter how much I apply.

9) How long do you plan to project pan? Do you see yourself stopping at any point?

--> I don't think that I ever want to stop panning. I love being challenged and trying to make sure I use products before it is time for another update and actually getting use out of my products. I think I will start to cut back a little and not be doing 5 projects at once like a crazy person. 

10) Would you recommend panning to others? How would you explain it?

I have attempted to explain my love of project panning to others and they just don't get it. I recommend it to very specific people who I know won't look at me like I am a crazy person when I start to talk about it. I guess I would explain it as just using the products that I have and not trying to go out and buy new makeup all the time when I have so much of it as it is. It is using the makeup you have before it goes bad so you aren't wasting your money. It is a challenge and it is frustrating as heck, but it's fun.

Book Tag ~ Reading Habits Tag

1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading?

~ I usually read in bed. Sometimes I need a change of scenery so I read on a couch in my living room, but usually it is just while I'm in bed.

2. Bookmark or random piece of paper?

~ If I have a bookmark available I will use it, but because I start and pause so many books, well there aren't enough bookmarks. I typically go for a sticky note over a random piece of paper though...you can never be too sure if it will fall out or not!

3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/ a certain amount of pages?

~ I like to wait until I at least reach a break in the page if I can help it, but I always aim to at least finish the chapter before putting it down.

4. Do you eat or drink while reading?

~ I drink a lot while I am reading because for some reason I get so thirsty, but I only eat when I am really hungry and need some snacks. Or if I am reading something that is really working my anxiety, then I have to snack to keep from having a full blown panic attack.

5. Multitasking: Music or TV while reading?

~ Music. I don't get how people can read and watch TV at the same time. Maybe my attention span just isn't long enough.

6. One book at a time or several at once?

~ If you have followed any of my Current Reads posts then you know that this is several at once. I have been trying to get into the habit of just sticking to one book, but that didn't last long because sometimes I feel like reading YA, other Science Fiction, Fantasy, or whatever strikes a chord that day. I don't mind being enveloped into may stories at once!

7. Reading at home or everywhere?

~ Usually at home, but I can read everywhere. I do listen to audible when I am on the go sometimes because it is easier than reading an actual book, but I would always choose having a physical copy in my hands.

8. Reading out loud or silently in your head?

~ I always read silently in my head, probably because I don't want people to hear that I do have to go back and reread a passage or 2 because my mind drifts elsewhere while I read sometimes. If is something that I have written I read aloud so that I can hear that it makes sense though! 

9. Do you read ahead or even skip pages?

~ I read ahead sometimes, but that is when something major is about to happen and I am too impatient to wait to see what happens. I always go back and read everything that I have skipped and I never go beyond the page that I am reading to see what is ahead. 

10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

~ If it is my personal book I don't have an issue with breaking the spine because I feel like it is much easier to hold and read that way. I even fold the cover to the back as I read sometimes. If it doesn't belong to me I keep it the way I found it, and since I borrow most of my books from my sister and she is obsessive compulsive when it comes to her books I always try to be extra careful to return the book in the same condition it was given to me in.

11. Do you write in your books?

~ Not typically. I have a notebook that I keep that I use to write my favorite quotes from books in. I do highlight in my textbooks though. 

12. Who do you tag?

~ All the book lovers that are out there :)
