Minimalist Game Day 22

I have gotten rid of 213 items this month. I feel proud about myself, not to mention lighter. I also got rid of 192 items last year. Between these two declutter missions, I have eliminated 405 items from my life. It feels amazing. I’m sure there may be more things that I can get rid of, but as of right now, I feel content with the things I have.

For those that wish to partake… I would love to see you document your journey. Tag me in your post(s)!

The rules are simple, you get rid of things from your life, either by selling them, throwing them away, or donating them. On the first day, you remove one item, and then on the second day, you remove two items, you keep on playing until it’s the end of the month, or whenever you run out of things to remove from your life. It is okay if you can’t make it until the end of the month. Personally, I would rather see items get donated, or sold to someone else. If you must throw something away, I hope it’s because it isn’t fixable. Even if you have removed three items from your life, you should still be proud of that, because it is three more things you removed before the challenge. But if you are able to complete this challenge, you would have gotten rid of almost 500 items! That’s a lot of stuff.

This is an old pair of yoga pants that I no longer use. I’m happy to give these to my Grandma, so she can give them to one of her neighbours.

Another pair of yoga pants.

Old tea tins, that I finished up.

Another pair of yoga pants.

Two old and probably expired hair products.

Two body sprays that I am going to give my cousin because I don’t use these anymore.

I finished this bubble bath product, so I can recycle it. A new lip balm that I do not need.

Two old and dirty coasters. My cousin gave me new ones for Christmas, so my boyfriend and I can let these ones go.

An old day planner, and a calendar from last year that I no longer need.

This was given to me as part of a Christmas present last year. It’s a gift card holder, but I don’t really have any purpose for this.

These are old tea samples that I have bought a little while ago. All of these teas were delicious.

These pajamas pants were given to me by my Grandma, but I just had too many pajamas at the time to really appreciate these. I am going to send this back to my Grandma, and see if she can find someone to appreciate these more than I did.

This is an old hair product that my mom gave me so long ago. The next item is expired hand cream that I have had for a few years. The third item is an old lip gloss from several years ago. The fourth item is expired hand cream that I was given as a gift, but it was from a long time ago, so it’s best to let that go. And the last item is this container my mom gave me some snacks in, but she didn’t need it back, so I just recycled it.

The top item is an envelope I no longer need anymore. I just recycle them. On the left is a notebook, I used to write in from time to time. I’m going to recycle the pages I wrote on, and give whatever is left to my cousin. On the right is a dream journal that I plan on giving to my cousin as well.

My two old phones from back in the day. I accidentally dropped my phone, so that explains the huge cracks on the phone. I am taking to get them recycled at one of this electronic recycling drop offs.

I bought this shirt because at the time I was going through my shopping phase of my life. I loved shopping. And now I am grateful that I don’t have the desire to do much shopping, at least for clothes anymore.

I bought this shirt, because I wanted to have more dressy shirts, and dress nicer. Unfortunately this shirt doesn’t fits me since I grew a little bit, and no longer touches the top of my pants.

This used to be my favourite scrunchie, but sadly, it became a headband. It somehow came undone, and I don’t know how to put it back to the way it used to be.

More expired lip products. One is a lip balm, and the other is a lipstick.

Unfortunately I grew a little bit, so it no longer is long enough for my liking. I just know that I will get my niece into liking Harry Potter, so I am going to sit it aside for her to wear, when she is older.

More body spray. Apparently this is people’s go to present for me, that and lip balm. Which is unfortunate because I have asked for people not to get me these items. So I plan on giving this to my cousin. She might like it.

This is a Kleenex box holder. I guess they were the big rave in the 90s and early 2000s. My Grandma gave me this many years ago, but I just don’t find much use to it.

Expired lip care (lip balms and lip sticks).

A photo album, and a notebook. I plan on giving them to my cousin.

A Christmas present from my Dad. He bought me a box of cookies.

I had parted ways with a lot of clothes that I haven’t worn in a really long time. It is best for me to pass them on to someone who will enjoy these items than I ever did. I like to give them to my Grandma, because she knows a lot of people and neighbours that always need clothes. I feel fortunate enough to be able to help others.

This is from Tuesday March 16th, 2021.

• A box that had a bunch of tea samples in it
• Five hair ties
• Five bags
• Three old lip sticks
• A photo album
• A photo album box

My mom likes to have gift bags, I, on the other hand, prefer not to have gift bags. I just feel like they are a waste space. So I gave her the gift bags.

I plan on giving my cousin the photo album. And I plan on returning the photo album box to Grandma.

The lip products are expired, so I threw them away.

The hair ties I plan on giving them to my sister.

I got rid of the other envelopes, too. I got rid of three small toys in my surprise bag, I bought it for the chocolate. An old lipstick, and some hair elastics. I bought myself scunchies, so I no longer need any hair elastics.

I was organizing my important papers, and I decided I didn’t need these envelopes anymore. I don’t even know why I even bothered to keep in them in the first place. But I am starting to feel lighter with letting these things go. I feel happy with my progress so far. I am proud of myself for making it this far in the journey already.

In the first photo, I am giving away…

• Eight tins of tea, two of them I gave to my sister, so she can fill them up for part of her daughter, and step son’s surprise for Easter.
• A dancing flower, it dances when it has sun shining on it. I think my niece will get a kick out of that.
• A pumpkin for my cousin, she loves Halloween. I don’t have any purpose for it anymore.
• A candle that got recycled
• This light up butterfly that I will ask my cousin if she wants to have this, too. I kind of grow out of it.
• A pair of socks that I don’t wear.

Is anyone decluttering their belongings right now for Spring cleaning? I would love to know about your journey, and if you need any help.
