Toiletries is a great place to start. I have the same habits, and this has rather inspired me to bite the bullet and deal with the things I'll never use.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277732200893723884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662819536901691412.post-8897133802397531952015-04-23T14:07:23.211-07:002015-04-23T14:07:23.211-07:00I'm glad to hear it!

And it can be liberating:) I used to hate getting rid of stuff, but I've had this change in mindset and now I also feel a weight being lifted off my shoulders when I do discard. (Not to say that I'm not still having a hard time with it sometimes, but) I now know I'll love the space I'll have freed, and I also know I'll be able to enjoy the things I am keeping more.<br /><br />Anyway, great job! I hope you'll enjoy the extra room you created too!Blue Eyed Night Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794978635801756974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662819536901691412.post-41788474788883575922015-04-23T14:03:48.551-07:002015-04-23T14:03:48.551-07:00Sometimes something has to get bad in order to hav...Sometimes something has to get bad in order to have that aha-moment and be able to snap out of it. And I can very much relate to your story! My problem shops were Lush and the Body Shop. Needless to say I'm not stepping into any of them any time soon.<br /><br />And I have a little tip that might help… if there are any of those amazing flash sales, just plan something else that day. That way you won't have time to even visit it. Anyway, good luck and keep up the good work! ;)Blue Eyed Night Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794978635801756974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662819536901691412.post-57169910563831327102015-04-23T13:57:47.567-07:002015-04-23T13:57:47.567-07:00Yes!

The thought of helping someone else by getting rid of something you don't need and them getting and actually using it, is super helpful to me as well.<br />And those project ideas that stay ideas sound quite familiar to me as well;)Blue Eyed Night Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794978635801756974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662819536901691412.post-5591284512706637332015-04-23T13:55:52.847-07:002015-04-23T13:55:52.847-07:00The strategy of just getting rid of things right a...The strategy of just getting rid of things right away definitely eliminates two pitfalls: having that box sit in your house for ages because you never get round to dealing with it, or shoving your stuff onto someone else and having them take over your problem. (Sometimes you can make people really happy with something, but you have to make sure they really want or need it.)<br />Anyway, good luck with decluttering!Blue Eyed Night Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794978635801756974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662819536901691412.post-48606354150361138342015-04-23T00:15:14.570-07:002015-04-23T00:15:14.570-07:00This is so funny, I never throw anything away but ...This is so funny, I never throw anything away but yesterday I took out three bags to the trash of junk, it definitely felt liberating and I knew deep down I had no use, now would anyone else for such random assortment of things I'd been hoarding :PFionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17063109012892637742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662819536901691412.post-40861139680578926402015-04-22T18:37:42.205-07:002015-04-22T18:37:42.205-07:00For the longest time I had been collecting a bunch...For the longest time I had been collecting a bunch of Bath and Body Works products...like I seriously had a problem and didn't even realize it until I came home after buying a bunch more products from them to find the collection that was steadily growing... So to stop that I got rid of a bunch of lotions and body washing that were several years old and I have "banned" myself from buying anymore lotions or body washes until I finish up the ones that I have! I'm just going to really have to avoid them when they have new products and their amazing semi-annual sales!!

I must say, I've gotten so much better at throwing things in the donate bin or in the trash! It feels like a really good exfoliator, getting rid of useless items!! It also makes me feel better knowing that someone might need it in the future, so I try to donate anything I can!! <br /><br />xoxox, Naomi | http://bunnyandfawn.blogspot.com/Naomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033668237260811074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662819536901691412.post-52302302635638764102015-04-22T14:41:01.788-07:002015-04-22T14:41:01.788-07:00I do tend to collect a hoard of crap to be honest,...I do tend to collect a hoard of crap to be honest, but it's the best feeling throwing it all out.
