Dec 30
It's been just a bit more than a week yay~ ^o^// The year is ending fast o__o
It's kinda scary~ why? Because next year's the year I'll need to find some work. And I'm not really sure what kind of job I want to do :/ So I guess that's a New Year's resolution? Find out which direction I want to take my job! (And declutter my thoughts about stuff that's not necessary as finding a job).

Day 6 - Dec 28
Dec.28
Not much to say about today - there's been a lot of snowing today and yesterday. I already saw myself a bit slacking but found some inspirational sites to keep me a bit motivated. So I removed the dust from the top of my book closet and threw away some of the paper stored in the shoe boxes which were also on top of the book closet. I want to at least go through one of the book closets before the year ends, hopefully I can make it ^^'
I had a little satisfaction that the book I brought to the public book closet (which is open to anyone) was taken by someone else and hopefully enjoyed ^-^
What I used/wear today
-send some postcards, one of them being a RAK card^^
-Kneipp bathing oil
-footcream
-coconut oil
-alverde shampoo
-weleda hair treatment (small size)
What I bought today
-nothing (shops are closed :D
What I threw away (other than regular trash)
-a perfume packaging that I kept because it was pretty (avril Lavigne-Forbidden Rose)
-fitness magazines (but I kept some workouts and healthy food recipes I want to try out :D)
What I reused/upcycled/made today
-nothing-
What I used up
-nothing-
What I gave away
-another book to the public book closet ^^
-will be giving away an assortment of rulers

Day 5 - Dec.27
Dec 27
Today it started snowing and I went for a walk to take a book of my shelf and bring it to the public book closet and buy some stamps for postcards. I'm a member of the postcrossing community and send and receive postcards from time to time. I know that's not much contributing to lessen my stuff - but oh well.. I'll take things slowly ^^;
Anyway the snow has made me kind not spend much time outside..^^; also it made me a bit sleepy, which is why I didn't do much today (also because there were some movies on tv which I couldn't resist watching). Gotta change that habit slowly^^; But! the snow made me also decide not to buy anything that is unnecessary (even though a lot was on x-mas sale)!
By the way if you have any tips for my journey, you're welcome to share them in the comments^^
What I used/wear today
-alverde mango body lotion
-Footcream trial size

+stamps
What I threw away (other than regular trash)
-a stack of old school notes

-a book (into the public book closet. There were a lot more books than the last time I went there - I guess a lot of people had the same idea as I had?)

Day 3
Dec25:
Oh gosh.. tonight I had a panic attack while sitting on my desk and surfing through the web for inspiration t declutter. I then immediately had to clear it out and sort through my pens and stuff to get some of the stuff out of my desk and window sill (my desk is in front of the window sill and gets crowded often..). So I put them in a box for now and every time when I finish using one of my pens/ pencils/ colored pencils I'll get a new one from the box. I reduced the pen holders from being 9 to being 6. ^o^// Slowly I want to reduce even further, maybe at another time^^
What I used/wear today
-yellow "Ai" RRJ T-Shirt
-sports shorts
-Mango alverde body lotion (in the morning)
-St. Ives Apricot facial scrub
-coconut oil
-colored pencils
-white pen
-a birthday card
-Neutrogena body lotion trial size (evening)
What I bought today
-nothing- (shops are closed :P)

What I used up
-nothing-
What I gave away

About this blog~
About this blog
It all started when I had to clean out my closets because they are too close to the wall and could build up mold. (My parent's room had it so there was a possibility for mine to have it too..) So I used that opportunity to "get rid" of stuff, mostly old pullovers or T-Shirts that don't match my style anymore. We usually bring some used but still in good condition clothes to my relatives in the Philippines, but I wonder to whom I can give the warmer clothes^^'
My room is kind of in a mess like always and somehow I stumbled upon some great blogs about minimalism. I don't plan on taking it too far but I want to get rid of most stuff I don't really use to make space for the stuff I do use. I'm also worried that the day when I move into my own apartment I'll have too much stuff to move. I have way too much stuff like lotions or colored pencils that I don't really want to throw away but have already been opened so can't be presented anymore.. so I'll also use this blog as a motivation to use these things up :D
Since I can't wait to start on January 1 I just start today. :P
To sum it up:
I want to..
1) donate/give to relatives or upcycle things I don't use/like that are still in a good condition
2) use things (up) [lotions, ball-pens etc.]
3) throw away things that are broken
4) only bring in freebies if I can use it within a week or have a definite purpose for it
5) clean the trash can more often :P
6) do data backups frequently (once a week)
So I want to use this blog as something where I'll write what stuff I used to motivate myself to use it :P
These are the categories in which I want to downsize:
1) clothes, especially t-shirts
2) body lotions (I have 6 which I already started but did not finish
3) pens and pencils
I have made a template to show progress (I guess):
What I used/wear today
What I bought today
What I threw away (other than regular trash)
What I reused/upcycled/made today
What I used up
What I gave away
So this is for today
