Rue's Trash: Spring Cleaning 2014.

Here lately I have been going through my stuff getting rid of things that I have not used in a while, things I have used and didn't like, things my 2 year old cousin has gotten into and left open, or stuff I no longer need.

I started this process back in the middle of April, and slowly been going through everything I own. The only thing I have yet to go through is my clothing, but I know what I want to get rid of and keep.

I have a problem with keeping stuff even knowing that I will not use them again. Nail Polish especially. Even if I did not like the color on my skin tone, or did not like the formula, I keep it. The biggest one was older polishes that the formula had changed, but it was one of my first polishes so I did not want to get rid of them.  I did not want to get rid of any, but about 8 months or so ago, I went through my collection and got rid of several polishes that I did not use. Most of the polishes in my TBT series that I said needed rehab, I went ahead and tossed just because I did not have time to rehab them. I did not do a blog post on the first one for I was busy with school, and forgot to post it, but I am going to try and up date my collection page here soon since I am on summer break now, which means my collection page is out of date.

This time around with my nail polish, if I had not used it in almost a year, or did not like the way it looked, I tossed it. Also I tossed the mini polishes that were from Christmas sets a few years back. I had not really worn them and they had started to smell funny. I also a several of the polishes have dried up like the China Glaze Luxe and Lush from the Hunger Games Collection, but I do believe this is a part of their permanent line. Let me know below. Also both top coats were quick drying and dried up.

I am planning in a few weeks to go through my nail polish collection again swatching everything, so I may end up getting rid of more. I will post if I do.

With the makeup, I got rid of it for mainly four reasons: it was old, dried up, smelled funny, or Lily got into my collection and got dirt all over it. (this is the reason for several of the lip products) There are only two products I got rid, with are both lip products, because I did not like the color or it did not suit me.

I also went through my perfume and candle collections. I got rid of two candles the apple one was because it lost it scent, and the other one was it was too sweet smelling and the only reason I bought it was it was a mint green color and it was on sale for I believe less than 2 bucks. It was a regret purchase. I did try to give it away to family, but as I have said many times that I was the only one who really likes sweet smelling scents.

The perfume was suppose to be a dupe for DKNY Be Delicious, which I really like but didn't want to spend the money on it, so I picked this up, and only used it once. It did not go well with my body's chemistry. I tried it again here recently before getting rid of it, and it did not even smell the same.

 My spring cleaning is almost over. I am still going through clothing to get rid of, but I will not bore you with all those. I am still trying to get my room together. I am planning on doing a bookshelf and desk tour for you all.

Peaceful and happy Thoughts,
--Rue.
