why? Last year when I started this blog, much of what I hoped it would be about was my lifestyle change, my purging and getting rid of. My new growth. Me as a caterpillar changing into a butterfly. That kind of change, big and dramatic. Yeah right?! It took a lot of baby steps. And though I know I chronicled quite a few days in which I purged, got rid of, changed, sold, donated, etc.... Some of the projects I intended to do, literally took almost a year long to cross off my list.
Take for instance this before picture, it was taken January 20th, 2010. The after photo was not taken until January 12, 2011. I am so happy to say I cleaned out the cabinet, threw away a white trash bag full of stuff and then donated a shopping bag full of toiletries to a homeless shelter. These toiletries were the kind of mini, shampoo, lotion, conditioner etc bottles that made it into my suitcase after a hotel stay. Or the business class kits that my husband had after an international flight, those kits were great to pass on because they had toothpaste and mouthwash. I only saved the really special stuff and now I was happy to pass it on to the shelters because they often make up kits to give to the homeless to help them wash up.
Well, it took about a year, but I am happy to have it crossed off my list. Plus my cabinet is much cleaner and I know what I have in there.
