I have been reading all of the articles about organizing and cleaning up our lives, closets, and everything else. I found a lot of good information, but I know I will not be able to do it all.
Therefore I decided to look around my house and comit to one thing I can do right now.
I just moved to California. Thanks to the move, all of my lotions, smell good soaps, sprays, etc. are all in one place. I had no idea I had so much lotion. I know I will need it since the temperatures get high here and it is a dry climate. The lotion will be good for me.
However, I don't need to buy any more lotion until this lotion is gone.
What I have done is brought all of the lotion out to where I can see it. Some are on a shelf next to the shower, some are on the counter next to the sink. They take up space, but they also remind me every day that I need to put lotion on, and I do not need to buy any until I am down to 2 or 3 main scents.
I know this may seem crazy but when I add up the price tag for all of those lotion bottles picked up here and there the money adds up. I could have used that money for other things.
Especially now that I am not working full time. I take that back, I am working full time, but not getting paid for working full time. I am adjusting and trying to scale back. It has really helped me to open my eyes to how I stocked up on some of the strangest things.
Lotion, soap, dental floss, and disposable razors are some of the things I realize I had spread throughout my house in differnt bathrooms, cabinets, etc in North Carolina. My goal is to use what I have before buying more. I will also set up a guest room basket (I did have those in my NC home)full of toiletries just in case someone comes to visit and forgets something.
Is anyone else spring cleaning? If so, what stockpile did you come across?
What are your plans for it?
