Anybody want to join in on a challenge for us to see how much we can all declutter together? In this challenge we all post a daily tally of what has left our homes. Lets see if together we can reach over a thousand. Example... Running total=6 At the end of the month we will total up everybodys totals and see how much we did together. 😀 This contest starts June 1st. | |

Probably one of the weirdest items yet in June Challenge: 1 lovable Gerbil (put to rest) Total 1 | |
| Tillie | Posted: 10 June 2013 - 02:34 PM |
Dianne, We know it is a lot more complicated in choosing what one item to let go. All the mental processing and self exploration is very hard work. One thing to keep in mind when sorting out cosmetics and toiletries is that bacteria grows in them really rather quickly. Keep up the GREAT work! (((hugs))) | |

Tillie you're *just one* suggestion was perfect for me! 🙂 I started with a shelf in the linen closet and tossed just one mousse. Then just one facial lotion. Then just one shampoo. Ended up tossing ~ 14 mousses, styling gels (from 80's) They were beautifully organized which always gave me a sense of pleasure and satisfaction. I adored organizing certain closets or drawers because nobody in the family ever touched them which meant I had something that never got messed up. Even if it was from over 25 years ago. Next will be the lipsticks in the dressingroom. They're organized by true reds, brick reds, browns, neutrals/naturals, bright pinks, medium pinks, light pinks, oranges, frosted, mattes, glosses, little pots. Just one from each group will be a good start and it will probably lead to more. It wasn't too bad. I thought about all the money I was wasting by tossing but they never would have been used anyway. Some of the shampoos and conditioners were for horses that I used on myself. But I wouldn't even trust donating them to be put on a horse's skin at this point. Those are the easy things because they are organized in one place. There are other linen closets and bathrooms with all the girly stuff too. I should tell Buffy in exchange for all the babysitting she has to come over and clear out all her products. What I'm trying to deal with too is all the people I have been. I liked the option of being everything. From Kennedy Center formal to pooping in the woods camper. Narrowing the scale sort of feels like winding down in life. All the trappings gave me a sense of who I was in that moment. Most basic is the hermit. Then I don't have to be anything for anybody but me. 🙂 | |
