I know it feels SO GOOD to purge,...Nice job so far! I know it feels SO GOOD to purge, even if you go through 100 things and only get rid of one. I like knowing what I have, even if I do not throw away / give away as much as I wanted to. I have been working on my purge as well and I found a whole box of pens that once I started checking to see if they worked, were all dead! So I threw away maybe 50 pens... I probably will not count that as 50 things, but it feels GREAT to get rid of useless stuff like that. I kept thinking I would go through them to see what worked, but really I was just putting off the inevitable. <br /><br />The other thing I am doing is making a list of "things NOT to buy". For instance, body wash. I have about 20 bars of soap that I have been given over the years, but since I generally use body wash in the shower, they are all just sitting in a box. My goal is to stop using the body wash and to use the soaps first! I may save one or two in the end because they do smell good in my underwear drawer, but there is no way I need 20 of them, plus I have a three pack of body wash from Costco to boot!! <br /><br />I need to post my list, but will probably just do it once at the end of the month, since I am not doing so well on the blog post front these days!!

If so, I want it! <br />I have been busy going thru Elle's closet and it feels so good to sell/ donate as I can't stand things piling up. Even old nail polish I was like why do we have this?! Funny, how things just accurate with you realizing.

I bet it feels so amazing! I am planning on doing some purging this weekend. I am the same as you - WHY do we have SOOO many coffee mugs? And wine glasses? Not necessary, so I will definitely be getting rid of some of those and I'm also going to pull out any clothing I haven't worn in the last 6 months.

I'll purge more this week, since I'm off, and by the end of the month we're hoping to get to the 435 things.Jolene - EverydayFoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11490816021651698189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-15293112329294178722016-02-16T13:03:34.330-06:002016-02-16T13:03:34.330-06:00Wow, great job on the purging!

I am intrigued by this challenge.<br />Even though we did a huge purge last summer (and got rid off a few things before we moved), I know that we could get rid off some more things (esp.me, J is a minimalist by nature).<br />Maybe I'll schedule a month of purging later this year! I definitely have too many mugs, too :)Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10196296268895103846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-11070359927353900442016-02-16T10:11:03.487-06:002016-02-16T10:11:03.487-06:00Good for you.

I haven't been into going through things recently but I think it's about time to go through my clothes again. I did it in August but I am thinking I need to clear out my drawers more.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-80375970622176591352016-02-16T09:03:22.971-06:002016-02-16T09:03:22.971-06:00You are amazing!

So far I've ditched books, headbands I don't wear, rings & Bracelets that were collecting dust, old lotions/face masks, pj t-shirts that I don't wear and some other random things. I still have several areas of the house to look at and hit with the purge so I think I can get rid of enough things, at least I hope so :) Thanks for encouraging me to join!

This winter I've been slowly trying to get rid of things, not in any organized manner like this challenge, but I've just been keeping in mind that I'll be moving in ~6 months and that is enough motivation for me to get rid of things I don't need haha Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793577490918023099noreply@blogger.com
