I didn't head out in the afternoon as planned today.
While washing my laundry, I decided to tidy up my wardrobe and cabinets and it took me the entire afternoon!
Oh my!
Junk, Rubbish, Dump!
There is now a sense of satisfaction when I return home, to see my wardrobe, toiletries, cosmetics and makeup section tidy and easy to see at a glance.
I saw clothes I wore early this year for training hanging in my wardrobe.
Then I remembered ohhh... how much I have put on till I can't fit into those anymore.
@#$%^&* ^&*(%$#
I arranged dresses to one side. White, or formal long sleeves the other side... Denim be it jeans or skirts one stack, skirts frilly, flowery, mini another pile...
New lingeries kept in another segment away from the rest.
socks, stockings, leggings in one basket and I have two new packets of leggings from Uniqlo in form of stars and simple black unopened.. Hehe...
Scarves, shawls another corner...
So much...
I dumped so much clothes that are either worn once or never worn before cos they were small and I just grew bigger. I regretted!
Jess D wanted them when she called me in the late afternoon to find out what I was doing!
To send to Salvation Army and those really good ones to give her auntie to raise charity.. ARGH!!! The big bag I dumped, some were tops from Esprit, Joop, Space, RL... even Levi's jeans.

Jess knows how I can maintain my stuff in pristine condition and went sighing what a waste it was to dump them instead of recycling...
I felt really bad just now. She said I will be surprised how some people will really want those pile I dumped, somemore in such good condition...
我身在福中啊。。
Then I told her never mind, next time I know what to do.. She asks me to give her a call in future, pack those stuff I do not want in a big bag and she will come over to pick them up. "Don't throw!" She repeated.
Okay, I can give away bags.. I haven't clear my bag cabinet yet.. I have another section of clothes I haven't clear..

I was so shocked to see how my stuff can go wasted..
I have the habit of using new body lotions, forget about those old ones, they accumulate and I buy..
Mark has even helped me to finish up three tubes of hand creams I brought over to his place because he has dry hands and I remembered I have nice tubes at home. The vanilla milk, lavender and shea butter. What a shame! My man is vainer than moi!
I threw away two new bottles of contact lense solution cos they expired last Sept!!
I threw away cosmetics and suncreens... This is heartache for me cos they are expensive and hardly used!!!
Those that I kept, I decided to start putting makeup at least few times a week... CANNOT THROW!
I threw away some nail paint.. SOBS... I will also paint my nails regularly.
I threw away an eye cream that has already hardened from Clinique and tightening laugh and jaw lines from Chanel!!!
ARGH!!!
I have a basket full of moisturises for hands, body, face..
The body lotions I can finish them because I have been slapping them religiously recently, trained by DA MAN cos he is dilligent in his maintainence.
The only satisfactory are perfumes that are depleting day by day.

Okay, now that I can see all the items that are either used a few times and some brand new at a glance, I want to change this notorious habit of mine not using my stuff regularly and make sure I use all of them daily until I can see the base to derive satisfaction from there instead of throwing them away!!!!!
This is one area I promise myself to be better! I am taking this very seriously.
