I really need to do this, so why not make it an event where people can join in?

February here is all about carneval, Valentine's Day and unending winter weather. So, let's look at a couple of new areas (pick and choose):


  • STUFF TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK DIFFERENT: old make-up, hair accessories, brushes, combs, hairclips, dried out nail polish etc.

  • BATH PRODUCTS: out of date creams, lotions, oils, bathing salts, old tooth brushes etc.

  • CLOTH: that towel with the holes (repair or put it to some other use), washcloths, reusable make-up pads, cleaning cloths (the ones that almost fall apart),...

  • PERFUMES: that gift someone got you, but really you never wear it, or maybe it's so old the scent changed



Let's free up some space in the space where we get clean! Or alternatively, let's clean those brushes and combs, replace that mangy toothbrush with a new one and throw away make-up we never use anyway.

Optional: if you have plants in your bathroom (I do), let's give them some love.

I'm open to more suggestions! Let me know what immediately came to your mind when you read the challenge.

I did get a lot of new items since my last post, but I also got rid of A LOT of things! I went through some of my dresser's drawers this week and filled up a few bags with clothes. I also systematically went through the two of the cabinets and drawers in the bathroom and found all kinds of things that don't belong! And I looked through a box and a basket in my closet which had plenty of random things, but also some useful items like a jewelry box!

Numbers under here... )

I've found that once I start removing things I don't need/want, it becomes easier to determine what I actually need/want. I'm finally getting some open space so I can see what I have right away, rather than having piles of boxes full of mystery items. It's nice. :)

I'm back!

Hello, all! I'm starting to get back into the groove of decluttering and down sizing my stuff. It's ridiculous the amount of stuff I have! I don't even know what all I have, so it's about time to get to it! Today I just started with my hygiene/beauty stuff. I'm going to need to clean my storage bins for all of the stuff I'm going to keep.

I'm going to need to go through my bathroom more carefully to find what's still useable and what I have multiples of, but I think I'm off to a good start so far. Another major source of clutter is going to be my clothes; I can barely close my drawers.

Here's my tally for the week of June 10th - June 17th, and my cumulative progress.

Numbers under here... )

I checked a few places off of my uncluttering list. The first being the basket where I keep my hair/body products. I threw out things that I don't use, to make room for the things I would use if I knew I had them. Next was my dresser. I took out old stuff which I haven't worn in years, as well as torn/worn things, and stuff that was too small. Some headed for the trash, the rest is being donated. I also got new PJs and a rug to replace an old rug and old PJs. I'm not sure where I want to go through next.
