Conquering clutter is hard to do

9 May

I have been trying for months to streamline, my clutter and closet down to what I actually need and use. The problem with this is that I am no minimalist, in fact I would consider myself rather extravagant. So there inlies my problem. I spent countless hours moving my belongings around to different places in my home, but nothing actually manages to leave my home. HIdden clutter. 

I have googled ‘clutter solutions’ and ‘how to let go of old stuff’ but I have not found anything that is an option for me. SO i told myself, “Quit buying new and old stuff.” However shopping is kind of my hobby. I have begged friends to come over to my house and tell me what to relinquish but no one whants to help me because that is boring, even if wine is involved. 

I think to myself that I’d like to get rid of everything and just start over. I work myself up to it, I can almost believe I can do it. I begin. I pick up an item evaluate its purpose and value, and I put it back down because I think “I really need that etch-a-sketch.” From then on its stuff shuffle. I move that there, and put this here and smash all of this into a drawer until all my clutter is somewhat neatly hiding from me. And then for the moment I feel a little better.

I recently discovered an all natural and fresh cosmetic line called Lush. It is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Every product I have tried, I have fallen in love with, seriously.
The Ambrosia shave lotion is perfection for my sensitive skin. The Ro’s body condition is ultra moisturizing and literally smells like heaven. The BIG shampoo gave me the ultimate beach hair. The Sweet Lips lip scrub exfoliates and moisturizes at the same time being edible and delicious. The Flying Fox shower gel smells like spring jasmine and it super luxurious. I also love the Sex Bomb bath fizz it pretty and smells very sexy! I could go on all day!
I am desperately looking forward to trying more of their products! Go try Lush!

Its been a while…

So I’ve been lazy. Too lazy to write about anything really. Its a flaw, I know. However things are about to change. You haven’t missed much and from now on I have a feeling that the approach to this blog will be rather casual and carefree, much like myself.
So right now……I am sitting in my underwear on my couch with my windows open listening to Iggy Pop and now thinking about Ewen Mcgregor playing Iggy pop in the movie Velvet Goldmine. Haha.
