Minimalist Challenge - Completed...?

Minimalist Challenge – Completed…?

During the month of November I discarded over 465 items from my home. You can see that in my previous post. Today I want to share what I’ve added to my home. 

Base and Top Coat from Law Beauty Essentials

Dish Towels from Target

Planner goodies from Minnie Rose Co,

Travelers notebook from my friend Jeanine

I made my goal of only adding 5 things to my home. Not pictured is my…

Minimalist Challenge - Day 25-30

Minimalist Challenge – Day 25-30

Did you think I gave up?!  NOPE!

I wanted to save the worst for last. Whew Chileeeee!  Papers. Papers. PAPERS!!! I didn’t want to share the same photo 5 times. This is way more than 165 pieces. 

A box of receipts. The receipts all say 2016 & 2017. Yeah, you read that correctly. 

Unopened mail.  Two pieces of the mail has my Memphis address. That means it’s from late 2016 or early 2017.

Minimalist Challenge – Day 23

Planning with stickers is a weird hobby. I fully understand that. It is one my most favorite things to do. I LOVE STICKERS!!!!!!

Last year my budget was in place I could indulge myself. I indulged indeed. I bought a few grab bags. Which means the brand added so many mixed-matched sheets to a bag. Here are twenty-three sheets I will never use. Even though I know I will never use them, this…

Minimalist Challenge – Day 22

“Jesus take the wheel!” I live in Nashville and some times only a country music lyric will do. This is from all over the house.

Tomorrow’s blog post will be late. I am procrastinating. It is time to get real about my planner supplies… I love ALL planner supplies so this will be tough.

Minimalist Challenge - Day 21

Minimalist Challenge – Day 21

Getting dressed this week I noticed a few more things in my closet and drawers that I don’t love.

Two pair of boots, two pair of jeans, two dresses, eight shirts, two skirts, one pair of stockings and four pair of socks.

Donated.

Minimalist Challenge – Day 20

I am still at it my friends! I am so proud of myself.

We are back in the kitchen today. I reached in a cabinet for a pan and saw this green basket. It held all the attachments from my Nutribullet. The Nutribullet died earlier this year, like March or April. I was holding on to the attachments thinking I would buy another one. I am not. The other items have not been used either.

Don…

Minimalist Challenge – Day 19

I started reading each and every one of these books. Some I finished, some I made it all the way to page 70, some I loved so much I read more than once.

Donated.

Minimalist Challenge - Day 18

Minimalist Challenge – Day 18

Some days I don’t want to do this challenge. Not because I don’t have anything to let go, but I don’t want you to see my trash. That is the only way I can describe today. I have been keeping trash!

The boxes have been empty for years. Yes, you read that correctly, years. The large lamp died last week and the small lamp was a gift from two years ago that I never used. One glove, I was hoping…

Minimalist Challenge – Day 17

I have a ton of gift bags. I am loved. However, I usually send a gift from Amazon. All of my family live in Memphis and I live in Nashville. For local friends, it’s always a meal out or an experience, not gifts.

Donate.

Minimalist Challenge – Day 16

There were two large bins in my closet. They are filed with home decor. After cleaning the closet the other day, I didn’t want the two bins to go back. I had to empty all that I could. None of these items fit my current aesthetic.

Donated.

Minimalist Challenge - Day 15

Minimalist Challenge – Day 15

On Saturday I took some time and completely emptied my closet. I vacuumed the floor and wiped the shelves with cleaner. Here are fifteen items that I discarded at first glance.

One very painful pair of boots, two belts, one swimsuit I didn’t remember having, one pair of shorts that look awful on me, two tops, four dresses, three skirts and one clutch.

Donated.

Minimalist Challenge - Day 14

Minimalist Challenge – Day 14

In the spring I “cleaned” my closet. I only removed things from the floor and moved most of it to a different corner of my room. It is still a cluttered mess.

The other day I actually took everything from the closet. Vacuumed the floor and wiped down the shelf and rod. Before putting the clothes back in I took my time and culled through them. Here are 14 pieces I am donating.

Minimalist Challenge – Day 11

It’s not normal how much stationary I have. I received an email from my manager stating she was collecting for a local school with special needs children. Stickers were on the list. I asked if they could have pens too and she said yes.

I am sure they are in a good place.

Minimalist Challenge – Day 10

I love this day so much!!

The luggage was purchased MANY years ago from a yard sale for $5. It has served me very well. Now that I travel for work, it just won’t do. There are also three blankets, three pillow cases, one toiletry travel bag and one decorative pillow.

By the way, I have new luggage.
