Does this ever happen?

You may be suffering from TMSS – Too Much Stuff Syndrome.

But don’t worry, there’s a cure! At least I found mine this past weekend when I went on The Big Purge. What started as The Big Clean turned into 4 humongous trash bags full of papers, no purpose things and unnecessary clutter that somehow I’ve managed to accumulate over the past year.  I didn’t do half as well as I had hoped, partially because I got tired and decided not to over do it for my first big clutter purging of the season, but vowed to return to my mission again soon.

Do yourself a favor this week and set aside some time to de-clutter one room, one closet, one inbox in your email even…….just get rid of the junk! Are you really going to need that paper you wrote for English 305? Do you really need to still have that shirt that you wore the night you ran into so and so and this and that happened which in hind sight didn’t turn out all that great but you’ll always remember when you look at the shirt? How many hair products and back up products does one girl really need? Are you honestly going to go back to that “5% OFF SALE” email to check out the deals?

More often than not…that’s a negative, Ghost Rider.

Catch my drift? Besides..how can you make room for anything new if you’re still stuck in old clutter?

    I am SO with you on this one. I am a firm believer in “less is more,” for reals, y’all. I grew up in a seriously cluttered house and my #1 fear is turning my OWN place into something that resembles that. I really like clean, simple living quarters.

    With that being said, I am dearly overdue for a big purge. I’ve been slowly hacking away at it over the past few weeks (cleaning out & organizing under sinks, for example.) But my next project is getting rid of most of my clothes…since I wear the same things over and over anyways. My closet and dresser is full, yet, I rotate a good 20 items over and over again. So unnecessary. I’m also about to put all my old prom/pageant (ha, don’t ask) dresses on consignment at Butterfly!
