DIY-Make Up Brush Holder

This project is as simple as it gets. It's one of those things you see all over Pinterest and think "Oh, that's so cute! I should do that to de-clutter my make up bag!" but you never get around to it. 

Buy a vase or jar...fill it with rocks, pebbles, coffee beans, sea shells, etc. 

Now stick your make up brushes, paint brushes, pencils, pens, scissors, art supplies, etc in it! 

The possibilities are endless with it too. You can use any kind of jar or vase that works with what you're putting in it and then use any kind of filler you want. Heck, you could get a large vase, fill it with dried pinto beans and stick your kitchen utensils in it! How cute would that be? Or maybe even colorful dried heirloom corn?

How about filling it with beads and sticking craft scissors in it! Or even for a child's play room, fill it with marbles and stick their markers in it! So many choices!

What combo would you do? What area of your house would it help to organize?

P.S. I may not get around to posting anything tomorrow as my husband and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary on a weekend trip!! So excited!!

Till next time,

De-clutter

Don't you just feel so much better after a trip to Goodwill? The donation trip, not the shopping trip. Ok the shopping trip is awesome too.

Today, after unsuccessfully selling some stuff online, I finally loaded the car and donated it all to Goodwill. It feels so good to de-clutter!

I usually clean up by going through everything and sorting into keep, giveaway and trash. If something is worth selling or I know someone who would want it, I save it until I can do that, otherwise it's going to Goodwill or another thrift store. There's just no sense in keeping all sorts of stuff if it's taking up space in your house!

Is this you??

After my husband and I got married last year I found myself going through our stuff so often and finding an absurd amount if things to get rid of. It's quite a project when you combine two people's things and try to fit it in the same space.

Sometimes it's hard to get rid of things that have meaning behind them or cost a fair amount of dough but I keep on telling myself that unless it has a purpose, it reds to go. I want to enjoy the things I have, not be suffocated by junk I don't need.

How do you de-clutter? Do you purge a at once or keep it up little by little?

Till next time,
