I need to declutter my living space and digital space.

I decided to start by clearing out the largest drawer of my possessions in the apartment. It holds whatever I think is valuable. This is the before picture.

Yes, the items in this picture are the most valuable ones I have. Trying to rob me would be a great waste of pick-locking masters’ time.

WHAT I FOUND

  1. Bonnets: I found buried these two hair bonnets that I thought I lost (where would I lose them anyway, it’s not like I would ever go outside wearing this?).

I find these to be very useful when cooking, so my hair doesn’t acquire the cooking smells.

2. Hair fan: I remembered I had this bad boy – a hair fan for travelling. This was useful before I dedicated my life to becoming a house cat. I decided to put this on Vinted for 10 euros.

I kind of wanted to keep it because I think my current fan is going to drop dead as soon as this one leaves the building. I must not hoard, tho.

3. Supplements: I remember buying these magnesium and B6 vitamin bags for the same travelling purposes. Good thing about these supplements is that you just pour them in your mouth, no water needed. I decided this needs to be used before it expires so I immediately took one bag. I feel the same to be honest.

4. Books: this was cute to read, but you read it once and then what do you need it for? I decided I am putting this on Vinted for 2 euros. I can’t sleep either way.

5. CARE PRODUCTS: deodorant I abandoned in the summer because it’s too weak to cover my tracks in high temperatures but will be perfectly fine in December.

6. CARE PRODUCTS: nail filer and toe separator in a cute bag. Never used. Might gift this to my sister. What, I never used it!

7. CARE PRODUCTS: body wash. This was also never used and just bought it because it was on a huge discount and went from like 10 euros to 1.60. I wanted to feel special and luxurious. Might gift it to my sister because I have too much body wash already and I’m suppose to declutter.

8. CARE PRODUCTS: moisturizers. I abandoned these two for unknown reasons. I guess I got bored of them. Putting them back in my night routine. No throwing away perfectly fine things (pray they are still safe to use).

9. CARE PRODUCTS: blotting paper. Unopened. I have one that is opened and I plan on using it probably never. This is like baking sheets, just very small. I am giving this to my sister.

10. CARE PRODUCTS: various random testers I got for free. I must use these. I don’t know when, tho.

11. CARE PRODUCTS: this face roller. I got this as a gift and I have a suspicion the person who gave me this also didn’t want it. What am I supposed to do with it? And I can’t gift it because there are no tags, there’s no box, etc. And I can’t put it on Vinted because I can’t prove it was never used. Ugh. I’ll see what I do with it. I guess I’ll have to… roll with it.

12. EARPLUGS: I dislike using these as they make me hear my own bloodstream. But I still have them, unopened. Maybe Vinted.

13. This lucky number got RUBBISH. This ended up in the paper recycling bin.

AND FINALLY…. the after picture.

You expected a big change, didn’t you?

Well, it doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be done.
