I'm still working... But even I have gotten my wardrobe down to three pair of pants and five tops per season (we have four) along with a one pair of shoes for each season. It's my "play" wardrobe that's still out of control!

More makeup in the trash today! I used to love to get those buy this, get all this "free", so had who knows how many lipsticks. Some I tried and just wasn't me. Why keep them around.

I have also developed some kind of reaction to foundation. If it gets in my eyes, they itch all day. So now just use loose powder. I threw the old container of loose powder out even though you could tell it still had some in it. Just too hard to harvest that stuff. You know - I used to try to get the last drops of a product out of a package, but now I just don't have time for that. Out it goes.

Quit wearing makeup; that's the BEST way to declutter (and my secret).

I never wore much, just foundation, powder, lipstick and mascara. Every now and then some eye shadow.

I'm down to loose face powder, lipstick and occasionally mascara.

I've even stopped using expensive face cream. No wrinkles so far but that is due more to genetics than anything else.

Perfect timing with the flower pots! The person I gave them to had been looking for some. Saved her some money!

I just ordered from Amazon a lightweight (solid beechwood) fold-down (folds flat) computer table with pullout keyboard shelf. Folded down, I can easily lift and move it, and it's attractive. Getting rid of the heavy metal computer table that does not fold down. These folding tables, coffee and end tables and even bookcases are available in beechwood, etc. I like the ones that are mini tray-tables that roll up to the sofa. With the heavy computer station gone, the only other things I can't move by myself are the couch and the bed. The dining table and chairs are lightweight Danish, easy to move.

Commercial makeup, the kind most of us use, are full of toxic ingredients, so never should be kept and used more than maybe 6 months. I got rid of all commercial brand makeup and bought high quality (organic compound ingredients) hair coloring and makeup. It was pricey but no more than the upper-end products you pay for in chic department stores.
