Samples, Samples Everywhere!

Hello everyone! Today I bring sort of an interesting post to the table. I'm going to be talking about my obsession love of samples. I really am a sample hoarder. I have an entire big shoebox full of samples, plus two whole freezer bags full of them as well (which I can't find! *sadface*).

As you can see from the picture above, I have alot of samples. Also, like I said earlier, I have alot more samples that I can't find right now because my room is a mess! So yeah, I have many samples of many different things. There's a ton of skincare samples, a few makeup samples, and a crapload of perfume samples, which I actually can't stand perfume to be totally honest. I'm thinking about doing a giveaway on my blog in the near future, which will probably include a few of those perfume samples because I'd rather have them be put to use instead of being thrown away or sitting in my shoebox. I do also have a good amount of hair care samples as well, which I'll probably use if I feel like using something different.

There's also this really funny movie that comes to mind when I think about all my samples, and that's Friends With Money. Jennifer Aniston's character in that movie is great! She goes to different cosmetics counters asking for samples of skincare because she's broke, then you see in a later scene her hoard of samples. It's just hilarious and totally reminds me of myself and my momma. Yes, my mom's a sample hoarder as well, but I have way more than she does!

These samples could definitely come in handy whenever the sad day comes where I'm all out of skincare or makeup and have no extra money to spend on it. Samples are definitely a great way to try out new things, but also great of you're pinching your pennies and don't want to spend money on new products. I'm thinking of maybe doing a Project Samples series on my blog so I can use up some of these bad boys and let you guys know the progress I'm making.

I hope everyone enjoyed this post! Do you guys like the idea of a Project Samples series? Is anyone else a sample hoarder like my mom and myself? Let me know!
