Yeah, Heather, time to go! I think you are only suppose to keep makeup for 3 months to a year depending on what it is.

I never wear eyeshadow and yet I manageg to throw away 4 of them - some that were 4 -5 years old. I did keep a freebie one that I got recently in a gift with purchase because it had 4 shades that I might actually wear :lol:

I also got rid of some glitter makeup that I think is a little passè now.

I still have to go through my multitude of lotions but will probably keep most of them since I am a freak about moisturizing my skin and will eventually go through them all - I just have to store them in a more organized fashion :D

Mauvais the funny thing is i collect dark shades that i do not even wear. ( but on my to do list today is purge makeup)
clean sweeped myself , long bubble bath, mud mask, nails, even shaved. gasp no more hairy hippy legs.

:lol: clean sweeped yourself! Bet you felt great afterward though!

I had a box full of free samples from Yves rocher, things that were given to me as gifts and store "gifts with purchase" that were usually the wrong shades, scents, type of product for me - I was hanging on to them thinking I would use them when I travel but I realised that I don't want to use anything but the products I like and that work for me so I tossed everything and got some travel containers to pack my stuff with. :D

It is a small joy to open my makeup box in the morning and not have to fish through everything to find the item I want :cb:

Cleaning & Organizing for TAXES
 

I guess this comes under the heading of Cleaning & Organizing

I have been putting off finishing my TAXES :eek:

MAINLY because I had to search for various papers required to finish the job.

I finally took the time to go thru and organize (and locate) some of the papers I needed and I completed my TAXES. :smug: -- Pookie

finally got all my little hardware store list bought and finished. hubby even cleansweeped his side of the closet. <loud gasp here, lol> threw away old makeup. purged kid's toys. i think today is just gonna be a sit in jammies all day.

I FINALLY got the living room finished and took pics!! :cp: Here's a link to the pics...I got the attic done too but haven't had a chance to climb back up there yet and take pics of all the stuff in order up there. When I do I will post those too. :D

ended up yesterday, cleaning hall closet, bathroom, and linen closets. past couple of days have just been busy days. nervous energy can't sit still. so my house is pretty organized right now.

Yard Sale. That's what we need to do. Badly.

Oh and I'm so proud of my husband, he got rid of a bunch of clothes he doesn't wear this last weekend. And he's been working really hard to keep the computer room clean too. See, it's contagious! You start it up and they see it and they want to keep up with you. In their own way anyway.
As soon as I stopped expecting him to clean on his days off like I do, or make dinner, etc I stopped being upset when he didn't do it. Amazing how that works. *L* A list of "requests" sometimes will help too. As long as it's written out not to look like demands. *LOL*

The art of marriage appears to be subtle manipulation. hehehe.

Oh, yes, and you have to make it appear as if it was all their idea in the first place...heh, heh, heh....:devil:

yeah i have a dry erase board in the kitchen that i just keep "notes" but if i leave it be it gets doen. i swear if i nag my honey does less. lol

Yes. Mine too. If I just plant the idea into his head, he will do it. But if I come right out and ask him he becomes pissy. hehehe.
And if all else fails whining seems to work. Though, I don't know for how long... because I know if someone whined at me a lot I would be forced to do them bodily harm. But he hasn't killed me yet... *LOL*

I'm feeling so proud of myself because i got rid of three shoe boxes full of papers that had made the move with me through two houses, two apartments and a townhouse (over 7 years)! I had reciepts for repairs on two cars I don't own any and leases from three out of the five rentals. Not to mention the pamphlets for places I had been to and didn't enjoy and take out menus from restaraunts I live thousands of miles from now. WooHoo! When I get my next paycheck I'm buying an organizer for the tools we have. I couldn't find a hammer this weekend, and I know we have at least two, so I ended up pounding a nail into the wall with one of my heels!
