It's funny how in the end of the year, I become exactly the opposite of me at the beginning of the year. From having too much of everything, to having as little amount as possible.
I used to love keeping memorable pieces of anything. Notebooks, birthday cards, co-cards, presentation cue cards, old CDs, ticket concerts, graduation sash, even high school uniform... well, basically anything. Speaking of make up, skin care, body care and other girl stuffs, I am no better. I was a little push over when it comes to those beauty stuffs. Watching beauty vlogs and reviews on Instagram makes it worse... lol. My life was full of never ending what-to-buy list.
There came the time when I had to move out. Leaving the place I have been calling home for years, and found out that there's no way I could bring all my stuff. When sorting things, I began to realize that none of those beauty stuffs ever become an empty bottle. Surprise surprise, I didn't really use them; I only loved the idea of having them.
That is how I choose to stop. I wanted to make the best use of everything, so I decided to only keep one of each product. I even only have one lip balm now! What an accomplishment! 😂
I must admit that it was hard at the first few days. Like... I felt like I had no option, and besides, I HAD to put those things back to its exact place right after I use it. But after I get used to it, life becomes a lot easier and the house looks a lot more neat and organized. Then I think, why don't I try to simplify everything else? Well, I'm currently trying to learn about minimalist living, konmari, and capsule wardrobe. Hopefully next month me and husband will be ready to declutter for a fresh new year.. 😁
