2013 - 100 things to throw out challenge

I have been an avid reader of the blog Makeunder my life by Jess Lively. I even made her a part of my masters thesis and it was so fun to talk with her on blogging. (If you read this, thanks again Jess!)

Her throw out 100 things challenge inspired me to clean out my house as well. I did manage about 50 pieces, though I counted several pieces together when they fit into a similar group.

1 . old packaging for makeup brushes that I had saved for travels

2. old bandaids I am allergic to and old floss that hurts my gums

3. facial brush that doesn't do the trick on my face

4. glitter powder for the face - so 90s

5. turquoise dried up mascara and matching eyeliner

6. old lipsticks that just don't fit me

7. old brushes and stencils that came with sets

8. lipgloss that is just too stick

9. eyebrow gel - don't use it anymore

10. tryout lipstick I just won't ever use

11. old watches and cuffs

12. earrings

13. brooches

14. bracelets

15. rings

16. scarves

17. hat

18. boots - don't fit well on my calves

19. gloves

20. coat

21. dress

22. shirts

23. blouses

24. candles

25. waterproof box for phone - mine is too big now

26. incense

27. a kettle I never use

28. egg whip - got the good one from Tupperware now

29. two leftover bowle glasses - got a full new vintage set

30. grater - got my old ones back out, they are much better

31. old cookie cutters (that hurt a bit)

32. Calcium fizzy tablet - with lactose, hate that taste!

33. fabric softener that always plugs my washing machine

34. hair milk that makes my hair heavy

35. rubbing alcohol - got more somewhere

36. odol - we never use it

38. cook book fo students - never used it

39. some fiction

40. lactose chocolate

41. old soup

42. old jelly

43. African oil that got bad

44. pina colada - with lactose

45. some mix for lemonade - urg!

46. old skirts

47. red tights

It actually feels awesome to finally do that Spring cleaning. A little late, but my closets are organized, my kitchen cupboards cleaned out and I got rid of some old place holders. Of course it also makes room for new stuff and it is tempting. I try to stay away from shopping, but of course it never works totally. Still am glad to be rid of most of those things. Just some almost broke my heart, but I got too much stuff around and some things just have to go. Some of the clothes for example hold a lot of memories and it is hard to give them away, but maybe another person can still get some use out of them.

Did you do a similar cleaning or are you still planning on doing one?
