Monthly Check In: My Low-Buy Journey, Use-It-Up Update & Upcoming Plans

[@annashaffer8657]

You should definitely watch The West Wing!!! One of my favorite shows of all time.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I’m going to put it on my list.

[@anna121ist]

You are Killing it with your wax goals! 7:27

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Thanks Anna!

[@thefragrancefairy]

Great job with your numbers Martha. I want to live the width of life as well such a great way of sharing you got me thinking as well. I am doing the BBMB kit as I have bought no wax in 4 months. 😂 we love our Nespresso ❤

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Four months of a no wax buy is fantastic! I look forward to seeing what you think of the BBMB scents since I will be waiting until January

[@XizhousScentStudio]

Hi Martha! Always love the number chat ❤

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Out of everyone, I knew you would 😊

[@tammielalone9327]

I just made a purchase to Scandalous based off your recommendation. I was able to pickup a Christmas Story travel size items and I got the Exotic Vanilla body wash and dry oil. I’m excited to try them. You sound like you either work in supply chain or finance. I’ve been in both and inevitably it’s inventory or closing the books. I hope you get some much needed time off over the holidays! Have a great weekend

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I placed another order with Scandalous during her second Black Friday sale. I hope you love it. You are so so close regarding what I do. Let’s put it this way I’m part of the order to cash flow. Part of what my group does is commercial orders so I am tied to the hip with finance and distribution. I also have an anti counterfeit team, analytics, inventory management and other interesting stuff with distribution but from a commercial angle. It is NEVER a dull moment.

Great job! I love your top! I’m going on a low by next year

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I got this top last year and loved it so much, I got another in this same color and another in cream. It’s super soft and comfortable.

[@taratattooed]

Great video, Martha! I think these are my favorite. Yeah, the diplomat is sounding like the latest election and that was depressing, along with shocking. You’re doing a great job, keep that shit up! May any haters, go play in a Hurricane. 🍻 you’ve got a great family, that’s all that matters 🫶🏻

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

Thank you my friend 🫶

[@live_the_lifeyoulove]

Love the color of your top.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

It’s one of my favorites! Thank you!

[@AprilLeeWaxQueen]

Those are great numbers Martha. I think you did great! I LOVE The Diplomat...it is so good....Season 2 is 😯

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

The Diplomat is so good! I may go watch it again because it can be a bit confusing and then I catch up but there is a lot going on. I used to love Scandal. Did you ever watch that?

[@summertofall]

You have made good progress with your wax stash! Have you ever considered selling some in a wax destash to offload some of it? Like selling stuff you aren’t that into or just isn’t your scent preference. One reason I keep my wax collection so small is I don’t like making myself melt things I don’t like (hate melting). I have to check out The Diplomat.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

The thought of doing a destash overwhelms me so whatever I’m not feeling or loving I give to my local friends but most of my stash is stuff I’ve never melted before so I want to give it a chance to see if I change my mind once I warm it and I have had a few surprises like silent night from Harper James. At this point, I’ll keep working my way down. If I know it’s a love of someone else I will send it in friend mail. Recently I sent Steph from Stephluvslife a lot of blueberry because I know she likes it and Chris loves apple scents so I sent her some of the ones I wasn’t feeling, but mostly I want to give it a chance.

[@meltinginmaine4451]

Hi Martha!!! Great video!! Nice message. ❤ Question: what was the planner subscription that you mentioned at the beginning of your video.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@meltinginmaine4451 I realized I forgot to share it after I recorded my video. It’s from Hubman and Chubgirl.

Diane Ackerman “I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well”

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

You know I’m not going to remember her name later. 🤪Thanks for looking it up because sometimes not remembering a name drives me crazy.

[@espressosplanners7765]

I’m going to no buy because I want to move and I’m not gonna pack this all up including my candles I did a no buy on candle day. We can do this Martha.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@espressosplanners7765 yes, we got this!

[@taratattooed]

Yeah, it’s a low buy, next year. Nothing wowing me. Maybe you’ll consider spoilers on your book reviews next year 🤔🤞🏻 maybe? Asking for friend. Great video, thanks so much! Dude, if it brings you joy, just do it. Happy Friday ! Martha’s yearly update, song of the year, the ear worm …. Good luck babe and hot to go. Damn, Chappell Roan 😂

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

The new earn worm from her is Naked in Manhattan- her songs are so catchy but the real real ear worm is Apt from Rosé and Bruno Mars. Take a listen and tell me that isn’t an ear worm and you learn a Korean word. lol.

[@taratattooed]

@@Martha_FragranceCorneromg 🤦🏻‍♀️yes, I know that song well. I heard it, immediately knew I was old because I was thinking what the hell is she saying? Ababatit? AmbienTit?😂 I gotta give it Chappell and Billie’s evacuation dress code.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@ it means apartment in Korean and it’s also a drinking game

[@daniellecondit]

What field do you work in Martha?

[@tammielalone9327]

I work for an anti counterfeit co as a Sr Buyer. What a coincidence

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@tammielalone9327 that is a interesting coincidence 😊

[@XizhousScentStudio]

I'm not usually one for political drama but I loved Designated Survivor. It's on Netflix I think

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I’ve heard the name. I’ll add that to my list

[@XizhousScentStudio]

Could you give an example of how your youngest lives the width? Cuz I definitely agree. I'm just passing through. But I don't know how to live life to the fullest. It's very depressing.

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

I didn’t mean to get depressing but it’s something that has popped in my head recently. My youngest says yes to everything and she rarely isn’t doing something. She loves being outside and active. In the summer she is wakeboarding almost every weekend. She loves riding ATVs even though she almost died once (hence the makes me nervous sometimes) in 2020 she ended in intensive care with cracked ribs, fractured skull, punctured lung. Did that stop her from wanting us all to go ATV riding in Palm Springs for her birthday? No it did not. She’s the type to fall of a horse and get back in. She is willing to try anything. She wants both of us to go sky diving in San Diego. Something I really wanted to do when I was her age but not so much now. She wanted to learn how to snowboard, so she did. I learned in my 40’s. She’s a bit like me when I was younger but MORE. 😂 it’s not all daredevil stuff. It’s deciding to study in Barcelona even when she didn’t know a soul. She cried the first few weeks wondering why she decided to do it and I told her it was normal to be homesick but it would get easier. She ended up loving it so much she wants to go back and maybe work there for a while. She loves experiences. Just this week she got a call from a woman her puts things together for companies like Google asking if she could work a catering job. She has never helped serve food but she said yes just because it’s a good paying gig. She just says yes to experiences. Most people will give reasons of why they can’t and she thinks the opposite, she says sure why not.

[@XizhousScentStudio]

@Martha_FragranceCorner thank you for sharing!! Very cool. I have too many worries haha

[@Martha_FragranceCorner]

@@XizhousScentStudio I did a year of saying yes and I think that is the year I learned to snowboard and then at the same time realized that I like skiing better. Snowboarding is not of forgiving on my knees but at least I tried it with my girlfriends and it was a great weekend trip
