If you didn't know, I used to sell Mary Kay products. What happens when you sell a product you love, create an inventory, then STOP selling said product? You become a makeup hoarder, of course! I did well over the last few years, giving items to friends & family and using up product instead of buying new. However, yesterday, I got sick of all of the STUFF. We will be moving shortly and I don't want to move anything we don't absolutely need. So, after cleaning out my closet for the 3rd time this year, I decided to tackle my makeup hoard. My vanity has been neglected for far too long, look at this mess: Dusty, stuff thrown wherever, and my previously organized drawer was disgusting. I emptied everything out of the vanity, top and drawer, and discarded anything that was expired or just didn't work for me. I vacuumed out the drawer, then I cleaned it out with a damp towel. I also cleaned my makeup containers, bins and boxes with a damp towel to remove any grime. I then used furniture polish to dust and shine up the exterior of the vanity. Here is the mercifully clean drawer: Then I got to work organizing what I had left of my makeup stash. Confession: I also had MORE makeup in the storage footstool at the foot of the bed. AAhhhh, it feels good to come clean! LOL... Here is the clean, organized drawer, which, I am happy to say, holds all the makeup I have left: And the now clean and shiny vanity: A place for everything and everything in its place. It feels good to pare down to just what I will actually use. Besides, having backups sitting around for ages for things like mascara and eyeliner probably isn't a great idea health-wise anyway. It's not like I live out in the boon-docks and can't get to a drugstore when I need something! I've actually been wearing a lot less makeup this year for some reason. Maybe it's the 7am yoga class four times a week that has changed my routine. Who needs makeup when you're just gonna sweat it off anyway... I can already feel the healing aura of letting go... ;-) Happy Weekend Everyone!! Have a great one! Cheers! M J P.S. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics! I didn't have it in me to drag out the good camera... I know, soooo lazy... LOL...
