The Clean House show on the style channel is outrageous today.

1. The daughter had an extensive lotion collection, which the people from the show made her give up!

2. Is there a point to collecting lotion?

Does she use it? What happens when it gets old and cracked and hard?

3. It was all unopened and safely kept in a basket, so I doubt it got hard and cracked.

4. I ask because I have a lot of lotion myself.

Mine is in a basket, too.

I stock up at Bath and Body Works once a year. I buy one kind of lotion from Avon when it goes on sale, and another from Mary Kay. I buy those about once a year, too. I do this because I am not tempted to buy every few weeks when I run out, and then overbuy other things that I do not need or use very often. That would be like running to the grocery store every day and then buying impulse items, thus overspending. Anyone looking at my house would wonder why I have so much lotion. It will all be gone in a few months.
