Description:

This is an email swap and we will have 3 swappartners.

Lately I am gravitating to a movement called minimalism. We all use mostly only 30% of what we own, the other 70% of our posessions are collecting dust and keep up space and eventually our time. We have to maintain it all and every year or so do a declutter. I watch several youtube videos and read books and blogs about minimalism which means: keeping only the things in your life that add value to your lifestyle and what you really use.

I am not saying you should become a minimalist to join this swap. Absolutely not! But we all probably have some stuff we need to get rid of.

So: what is this swap about?

Declutter some stuff in this category from your house that you do not use anymore.

This time we dive into our make up and/or healthcare products. Did you know that a lot of products expire quickly? Just to give some examples:

  • Foundation, mascara, nailpolish expire after 1 year
  • Perfume, eyeliner, lipstick, eyeshadow expire after 2 years.

Maybe you have 5 bottles of shampoo open, but only use one. Because there is some left in the old one, but you never take the time to use it up. Perfume gets really bad in smell after a few years. It is a shame, but it will not get better after a month. It will have to go. I do not have a lot of products, but still can let go of some really old products. I am sure you can find some thing too.

I want you to declutter some items in this category and make a photo of what you get rid of. Please send your photo(s) and describe in an email what you are getting rid of and why. How did it make you feel? Share some of your thoughts about the process. That is all.

Mention the swap name and your swap-bot ID. Send your swap through email and please, use the BCC function for your partners email adresses. Send the email to yourself, and put your 3 swappartners in the BCC, please.

Rules:

Minimum rating of 4.99 (I will check profiles)
Do not forget to click the sent button when you completed this swap.
I reserve the right to ban anyone with or without reason.
Do not forget to rate your partners. Really important step as well.
Please rate your partner quickly after receiving the email so they know you have received it.
Check your spam folder if your partner has sent the swap and you did not receive it. (Found it!)

Maybe silly to mention, but send in time. If you choose to send late, you will get a 3 from 3 partners.

I emailed today if anyone wants to check their email. I sure do not read my email very often. If you were not my partner and still want to know what I did, send me a Pm with your email.

BTW hubby asked me why I was cleaning out the cabinet. I said "you dont want to know." He said, "let me guess you can find a prescription?"

I said, "No silly, I joined a swap!"

Ohhh, he said "I should join one". haha, he sure has less clutter than I do.

My son moved to Chicago, AUG 1st today I got a box of clothes loaded in my car for the food bank. (we have a clothing bank too, and mens clothes are harder to come by) I also cleared off a bookshelf, took some DVDs and books to the used bookstore. I feel lighter.

But must say the son that lives in California said NOOOO mom! I wanted some of those. I sent him photos and Pulled all the dvds out that he wanted that belonged to his brother. He said he will be here in OCT to pick them up and I dont have to mail them.
