Purge Thursday: Threads

Posted by

Last weekend I had to recruit an ally in the purging project. See, sometimes you let your closet accumulate things you are attached to, things that you are wearing in your head, but are not wearing in reality.

Purge Thursday: Last Minute

Posted by

Oh fuck I’m running out of time. OK So I’m getting rid of a pair of chinese slippers (no support!) moccasins that got me through many a renfair (also no support, also haven’t worn in 2 years), a non-working vintage lamp I bought off ebay many moons ago (probably can be fixed if you want […]

For this Purge Thursday I’m ditching two trash bags of Clothes. I found some things that look Careworn, some things that look Crappy, and some things that are devoid of Comfortableness (two sizes too small). I can tell that this is just the beginning, though.

Purging Thursday

I was listening to my latest audiobook It’s All Too Much by Peter Walsh, when it struck me that the Unclutterer doesn’t have a corner on the market of simplifying your life! I constantly look around the house and see things I don’t use. Sometimes I find I’m avoiding something I want to do in […]
