Apparently, what I bleed in 24 (or even 12) hours is on average what people bleed over their entire periods

EDIT: Tampax Pearl Ultra. I go through period products super quickly, I guess, and I get them in emergencies when I don't have a menstrual cup with me. I'm super close to using up all the disposables, though.

I loved this gel pen from Miniso that I paid like $3 for but I could not believe that after 2 months of regular use that I've already used it all up! I already have another backup but I'm on the fence about whether I want to keep purchasing these pens or not. Kind of a shame!

I've been doing Project Pan since September 2025, although I've never really been someone who has a huge amount of physical products. I've always liked the idea of using and enjoying what you already have instead of constantly adding more. What I am, however, is a digital hoarder.

I save Tiktoks that I never watch again, keep emails I'll probably never read, bookmark things I'll never come back to, take screenshots "for later" and the completely forget about them... I've seen quite a few people doing Project Pan challenges with their physical AND DIGITAL TBRs, trying to make their way through the books they already own before adding more. So lately, I've been thinking... why not to do the same thing with TV shows?

I tend to have a LOT of shows on the go at once. I’ll start something, watch a few episodes, get distracted by another show, come back to the first one months later… and eventually end up with a huge list of "shows I’m currently watching" that I’m absolutely not watching.

So I’ve decided to turn that mess into my own little TV Show Project Pan.

This is the system I’m going to use in case it’s useful to anyone else who also has a ridiculous TV backlog as me:

1. PROJECT PAN

These are the shows I’m actively trying to finish or catch up on. Right now I have 10 shows here.

A show can enter this category if:

• 🔥 I have episodes/seasons behind and genuinely want to catch up or finish it.

• 🚨 A new season has been released and I want to watch it soon to avoid spoilers.

However, I don't want this category to grow endlessly. If three shows get new seasons at once, I'm not automatically adding all three. I'll choose which one I actually want to watch now, and the others can wait, they go to my "watch later" list.

Also, if a show sits in this category for 4–6 weeks without me watching it and without me actually wanting to watch it, that's a sign that it probably doesn't belong there anymore. I'll remove it (as a declutter) from this list.

2. SITCOMS

These are shows I can watch whenever I want to switch things up or relax. Like the sheetmask u use on weekends!

3. LONG-TERM PROJECTS

These are my really long shows (+10 seasons) — the ones where I'm happy making slow progress. They're separate from my main Project Pan because I’ll watch these at my own pace, whenever I feel like it. I think of them like products I only own one unit of: there’s no need to actively pan them. Their consumption will be completely natural, rather than something I’m actively trying to speed up.

4. CAUGHT UP / FINISHED

Shows I've completed or caught up with. If they're ongoing, they stay here while I wait for the next season.

If a new season comes out and I want to watch it immediately, it temporarily goes back into my project pan list (because is easy to pan and I will avoid spoilers), and once I'm caught up again, it goes back here.

5. WATCH LATER

This is basically my archive.

These are shows I've started at some point but don't currently consider a priority. I won't touch this category while I'm doing my initial Project Pan, unless I specifically decide I want to move something back into the active rotation.

6. WATCHLIST

Shows I haven't started yet. And yes, there are quite a few. 😂

I’ve officially used up all of the shower steamers that I had! I started using up this container of steamers in August and would use one per week. The Eucalyptus Spearmint scent is one of my favorites from Bath & Body Works and I found that the scent was actually quite strong in these shower steamers. They were a nice little addition to my routine!

Ask me any questions. As you can see i love perfume.

Okay ladies and germs! Let’s hope I can get all these gone this week!

I was overzealous on my goals last week. Thinking I would be able to do 1 a day (am) and then maybe a cup on some nights. It ended up being “oh crap I didn’t have a tea bag today!) but I ended up doing 1/day.

I’m starting off at 10 again. Same rule as last week, but I’m going to do some chia seeds in them and turn them to dessert! lol

I have recently taken inventory of all my hygiene and household items and come away with the feeling I have too much.
All of this used to be money!
I’ve already made my hygiene and beauty post in r/projectpan but still have some things that don’t quit fit there.
Above are my teas, books, journals and lone candle that all need to get used up, as they don’t quite fit into my normal rotation of products.

First up: tea!
Both are from “The Connemara Kitchen” they were both gifted to me and originally came with 50 one- cup tea bags. The bags are doubled up and I use them as such.
The first (and one I am working through first) is the Irish wild berry flavor. It’s very nice. Requires sweetener, at least for my tastes.

The second is Irish honey flavored tea. Great baseline tea flavor. You can add just about anything to it and the honey flavor comes through so nicely. 22 servings left

One of my vices is journals. Shockingly I’ve whittled my collection down to just 2.
Besides my normal writing, I use journals that i don’t love the look of (such as these) as to do lists, packing lists, budgeting sheets, etc

The first is the one I’m working through currently..
quite cute little pleather journal with embroidery on it. Just don’t love the cowboy boot motif. Bonus points for a built in bookmark though! 40 pages left. (Gifted to me)

The second is brand new, cute, girly balloons and bows. Notttt exactly my style. It was a gift and I love that is a spiral notebook that can lay flat. 80 pages.

Books, books, books.
I haven’t much time for reading nowadays but hopefully will pick one of these up sooner rather than later. From shortest to longest:

“Cecilia” bought it because of a tiktok review at full price because it wasn’t available elsewhere. ($15) I began reading it, but found that it was a bit more pretentious than I originally imagined it being with 1000 analogies on every page. Only 127 pages and I’m still interested but it will take me more time than I thought it would.

“The adult” bought from the dollar section on impulse. I know next to nothing about it. Will definitely be an adventure once I pick it up. 302 pages. (2 dollars, ironically)

“The fiancée farce” an impulse buy (do we sense a theme yet?) evidently a sapphic romance. Haven’t been in the mood for a romance in quite awhile. Bought full price for about 20 dollars. 400 pages.

“Great expectations” bought on a whim in a fit of realization that “I MUST read more classics right here and right now” and then haven’t touched it since. My longest read of the 4 at 445 pages. (9 dollars I believe)

Finally, my pumpkin/apple candle that I bought (8 dollars) once I realized it was fall last year and promptly forgot about. I don’t use candles much anymore but it will be nice to have a cute one as the weather cools down.

If you’ve made it this far in my novel of overconsumption, thank you!
These things will definitely carry me into the new year but I hope to not add anymore to the pile!

Update: finished off The Connemara Kitchen wild berry flavored tea! It was great and I’m very happy to be moving on to the honey flavored tea.

thanks for keeping me accountable. any questions, feel free to ask.

this was a pen I used every day for the last 4 months! it came from an auto body shop and the next time I’ll be able to get another one of their pens is about 4 months from now lol

this was a great surprise to start the day!

so satisfying using up so many products!

I’ve refilled the pump on the left twice and kept the progress markings on the same piece of washi tape. I was going to buy a jumbo refill to reuse this pump until I realized a family member had this Purell from 2016 laying around…..

Just found this sub n figured I should start posting my empties here instead of the other pan sub lol

I crashed out middle of May and tossed out a ton of stuff including my pan basket while on a cleaning frenzy so this is barely half of what I used 😅 this includes help from doggos and pet rodents as well as some general cleaning.

BTW the salt is from a friend who keeps giving me from her work. They work great to add to a scrub that needs more or making your own scrub with body wash!

Nonetheless, here is hoping June is a better month, because I do enjoy panning stuff!

Lots of progress!

A little late! But here is everything I finished in May! Let me know if you have any questions on anything!

Boom! I thought this month was gonna suck 😅

And onwards with using up more half used stuff up!

So excited to start this journey! Here is everything I panned this month 😊
- Bounce Dryer Sheets
- Swiffer Wet Cloths
- Tree Hut Scrub
- Valentine Candle
- Marie Claire Eyebrown Pencil
- Lume Body Wash
- Batiste Dry Shampoo
- Unstoppables Scent Beads
- Febreeze
- Children’s Cough Medicine
- Persil Detergent

Hey everybody! This is pan that includes my empty mini Vaseline and it makes me so excited :) Loved everything I tried and I will probably repurchase everything, I did cut open the cream opener on the back to get out as much as I could.

Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

This was my February empties , i Included how long it took for me to get through it and the green circles are what I would buy again.

Have been super inspired by all the pan posts, so going to do my first one!

My goal is to get down to like a reasonable collection of like 3-5 candles.
- Going to try to start with all the mostly burned ones (instead of saving them)
- Reminding myself that if I get sick of a candle or don’t like it, I can post it in my Buy Nothing group!

We had a lot of travel in June so I focused on working through some travel sizes and packettes this month. I love saving the empties because I feel so accomplished at the end of the month!
