While going through my wardrobe recently, I discovered a beauty advent calendar that I kept to open up the next year, but I completely forgot. In my defense, that was the year that I was living out of boxes as I had not unpacked due to the house move, and I believe I got it on discount after the advent had already started. Then, it was a renovation in 2017 and a trip to the states for December; I still had not finished unpacking as the renovation for the second phase kicked off at the end of 2018, and that finally finished in 2020. I spent the time in early 2020 unpacking. Then, of course, there was the pandemic and I totally forgot that I had left it in the wardrobe.
