Whenever I need to feel motivated to clean up/declutter, I just watch some Clean House on the Style network. Today's task was tackling the pile of makeup that had accumulated in my bathroom since I cleaned out my apartment in Austin. The problem with having two places to store things is that eventually you fill both places up. In order to get my makeup under control, out of ziploc bags and into containers and drawers, I had to clear some of it out. Luckily, Niecy inspired me to not hold onto makeup I've never worn, or haven't worn in years (which is gross). I still need to run to the Container Store to buy some more matching containers to fit in my drawers, but everything is pretty much in its place and I actually have some free counter space.
I spent yesterday working in the office, getting that cleaned up, but there's still more to go. I have a few more miscellaneous boxes from school to go through, as well as some clothes that need to get hung up somewhere. I'm trying to accomplish something every day, but with the new puppy to keep an eye on (and snuggle), I have to pick my battles and spend my time wisely. I'm currently unsure as to what I'm tackling next, but I figure if I work a little while each day, it should get clean eventually!
