101 in 1001

My friend Jennie posted about this on her blog, and I loved it.  I think Design Darling originally came up with this idea, completing 101 goals in 1001 days.   I love making lists and setting goals, even though I'm horrible at keeping new years resolutions.  I thought this idea was great because most of these are goals I can check off and won't just quite after a few weeks.  I also like that some of these goals are more simple and things I've been wanting to do or learn, and others will take a lot more time and effort.  Can I also say that coming up with 101 things for me took a really long timeSo here is my list...

  1. So I decided to do #41 with my lotion, perfume, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, face wash, hair products, and makeup. I haven't bought any of that stuff for literally 1.5 years (or more!) and am still nowhere near finishing my supply. I am a hoarder of these things.
