MinsGameBOSS - Week 3 Recap. ByeByeBye

Week Numero Tres.

Hello, MinsGame friends! How is it going? Are you noticing a difference?

My house is looking glorious!

I sold Fiances bathroom vanity (It was supposed to be put in his old house & he never installed it, He moved it around until it finally ended up in our hallway for a year :|) SO I sold that stupid thing. $220 later and I have my hallway back! YAHOOOOOOOO

That was the big ticket item of the week, I've tried to sell clothes in the past & no one wants my old crap (who am I kidding, I wouldn't pay for it either) So I have just been giving it away, just take it & go. I gave away a garbage bag full of kids clothes sized 5-6, yeah buh bye & next will be their toys.

This week was just a lot of garbage. I am so glad to be rid of it all & I never want to see it again.

I have also adopted a "One in = One out" mindset. I got a new sweater & I got rid of a sweater. Actually like 5. 

That's week 3 in a nutshell. Honestly not that exciting but boy am I noticing a difference! 

How goes the battle friends?

P.S. Do not "forget" a day at this point, it's disastrous! I had to find 43 items the other day & it was stressful. So, just don't do that to yourself.

Oh & Happy Monday - Make it Fabulous!

#MinsgameBOSS Week #2 Recap!

Yeah ok,

I suck at doing this in a timely fashion. Technically speaking, today is my Sunday, so just deal with it ;)

WELL, Week 2 was a fun one, I actually was having some trouble. The numbers were getting bigger & my want to hold on to things I "might" use in the future was holding on like sticky molasses.

I got a bit behind on days 12 & 13 and that gave me a bit of anxiety thinking of it as 25 items seemed so extreme but quickly I realized it adds up. Just like that I had 25 items, small things like glommy nail polishes but regardless, 25 items.

I spent a lot of this week on my rendering markers, it's been long overdue. It was depressing though because as each one didn't work I thought about the money I spent on these stupid things. What is a rendering marker? They are very specific coloured markers with a certain type of thickness, they aren't normal because you can layer them to get the colour of things like fabrics, woods, flooring, tiles, etc. Interior Designers used to use them more back before technology took over the world. We needed these in Decorating school and they were $5 a marker (Unless you lucked out and got them on sale) So as I chucked them out, I cried a little ;)

Alas, we made it through! Mom also purged quite a few items & I'm so proud of her!!! She has been trying to get her shit together for awhile but everytime she thought about the amount of crap she has it gave her severe anxiety! So she's making incredible progress and YAY!

Ok friends, go forth and minimalize! Good luck on week 3!

<3 xo.

Week 1 DONE! - MinsGameBOSS

Hey!

Have you joined along in the #MinsGameBOSS adventure? -- Did you read my post about it? or do you have NO idea what I am referring to right now? (If you're lost, go back to square 1 http://designmedialife.blogspot.ca/2015/10/the-minsgame-boss-what.html)

so now that, that is out of the way. It has been a great week bit of a whirlwind (Have you ever put things up for grabs on a facebook group? if was like hyenas!) Free is the answer everyone wants to hear.

I have had a great week of eliminating crap I will never ever use.

Day 1: I started off with a BANG & just got rid of all the clothes I had already bagged up plus added an item or 2. This worked out to be 3 large garbage bags full of clothes
(BONUS: Some lady picked them all up and took them away, so I didn't have to take them anywhere!!!!)

Day 2: This is where I got the shoes. I got rid of 2 pairs, 1 pair of boots that don't fit & don't suit me. & heels that I bought and will never wear again. So byebyebye (I've been posting this on some of the posts and it was quite hilarious) 

Day 3: Got rid of some littles. 1 silly headband, 1 mascara that was crap, 1 cover up that doesn't (nor has it ever) match my skin tone!

Day 4: Wallets, Business cards & tablet cases OH MY! ... ciao for now. Tried to sell them. Just gonna give them away now. 

Day 5: 3 headbands that I am not sure why I keep. They don't stay in my hair & just drive me totally nuts every time I tried so why would I keep them? 1 brush that was broken (I just replaced it & didn't chuck it? what a dork) & 1 owl :( watch. 

Day 6: That's today, oh yay! more clothes going bye bye today! I reorganized my closet & found some friends that got missed. Like a very large Krispy Kreme donuts shirt from when I worked there.

So that's it for this week! I guess that is technically only 6 days :| well I'll tell you what goes tomorrow next week!!!

How is everyone else making out this week?? Do you feel lighter yet??

The MinsgameBOSS .... What?

Hey Friends!

So I recently met +One Girl, Two Cities ... Aka. Laura on Twitter and she was tweeting me about #MinsgameBOSS and I was like, "Huh?"

So of course I asked, and she told me to check out her blog:
http://www.onegirltwocities.com/2015/10/26/minsgame-monday-a-preview/
So I did.

Now, If you have been to lazy to click on any of the above options to figure out what Minsgame BOSS is... I guess I'll tell you.

It is how I am going to eliminate 465 items of clutter from my life & from my home in the month of November. Starting Nov 1, You grab ONE item and you get rid of it, you get rid of it good. Then on Nov 2nd, you get rid of TWO ITEMS! Then Nov 3rd, you get rid of THREE ITEMS! I think you get it. Keep this up for all 30 days and that will accumulate to a whomping 465 items!!! Say what?!

That's right people, say goodbye to the clutter. Say goodbye to those 5 pairs of pants that you & I both know you will never fit into again, I don't care how hard you try. If it's been more then a year and you haven't used or worn something, then it is time for it to go. Still have those 552 teddy bears you slept with as a child. I mean come on, you're a grown up now. Lets try to eliminate at least 1 ;). You know that junk drawer? (Don't lie to me, I know you have one) It's time to clean it out. What is even there??? Possibly a dead animal, you don't know! That cell phone you bought in 1973, It's gotta go (possibly to the Smithsonian) I'm just saying.

Have I convinced you? Are you stoked about No Clutter November & The MinsGame? I know I am so come and join us. 

Make sure if you join, you post what you're getting rid of everyday for all of us to see -- check out the above websites for all the information & more awesomeness <3
