let me gooooo .....
I'm a Flylady dropout many times over. Try as I might, I just can't get into polishing my sink. But the one weapon in the Flylady's arsenal that I unequivocally do like is the 27-Fling Boogie. That's the 0ne where you throw out 27 bits of useless clutter. If you're a naturally tidy person who throws out your junk mail and last month's magazines right away you won't understand the value of this drill. But if you're a hoarder/slob like me ... give it a shot and you'll see what I mean.
Thing is, I've got a few kinds of clutter that I have a very hard time getting rid of. Namely, high-end beauty-product clutter. I have shoeboxes full of all kinds of bottles and tubes and jars and compacts, some of them dating from the last millenium, that I will surely never use again, that I can't make myself toss because they cost so much money. In some ways these boxes serve as a salutary reminder to me not to buy more of this stuff. In other ways they're just my particular albatross and I'd love to get rid of them. Rancid perfumes, dried-up foundations, nail polishes that have separated--Chanel or not, they're useless except as a club with which to beat myself over the head, but the thought of throwing them away makes me feel horribly guilty.
Even so, I think I'm almost ready to suck it up and pitch the stuff. We all make expensive mistakes, right?

I always end up with little containers of Clinique freebies. You know them as "gift with purchase". I rarely like anything in the gift bag and usually end up giving them to my DIL.
ReplyDeleteThe dreaded yellow goo, aka Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion! For some reason my skin HATES that stuff almost as much as Clinique loves to give it away!
