Dufaaaarrrrrr! I didn't realise how many items of clothing I owned until I bought a new chest of drawers to store them in.

I'm aiming to head towards a minimalist approach. Already donated 2 rubbish bags full of them and still more to go.
I can relate to this! I am also currently working towards minimizing my clutter too. Having minimal possessions would make life so much simpler, though sometimes it is hard to sort out and determine which items are actually needed and then those that do not have much purpose. I keep reminding myself that not every nice thing that I keep but rarely or never use is meant to be mine...someone else could use it, so it can be hard.

I spent the beginning of the year getting rid of clutter. For a pack rat that's saying something.

I even threw out all the old furniture and rebuilt. I'm still sleeping on an air mattress I put on a basic metal frame. I'll get a new real bed again eventually, but sleeping on an air mattress is kinda comfortable.

It's nice to be clutter free.

Yeah, it really can make things simpler that way. An air mattress really can be nice and comfortable, so that is great.

Yeah, its nice that I can lift my bed frame and mattress with a finger.

Its a nice little air mattress, even inflates itself. I can deflate it if I want a little more give to the mattress or I can hit a switch and make it firmer...... show me a normal bed that can do that for $40 Even has a built in "pillow" that is just a raised part at the head of the bed, but... it means I only need one pillow now instead of two.

I have zero regrets in ditching the old bed or the rest of the clutter.

We have used those before when camping, though I had never before considered using one for every night in a home. I think this is actually a great idea...though I have pets, so something like this probably wouldn't work for me since I can imagine them clawing or something when I am not watching them, haha. My younger brother uses a simple futon mattress for his room and that is a bit lighter than a normal mattress, yet still just as comfy. It is interesting thinking of the different things that can take up less space and still work just as well.

I just de-cluttered my desk yesterday. Feels good. Had too many books and pieces of paper with notes on everywhere. It was getting a bit ridiculous.
I also did that a week ago, it really does feel good.

My mom's friend actually went to a McDonald's to get the Minion toy that says "bad words" (gibberish that sounds like cursing).
Why on earth would someone do that? The minions are cute though.

I don't know if I could de-clutter.mi would feel guilty throwing out items I'd never used, because my parents would have spent money on it and it would have been money wasted, and he items would go to be unused and...it just makes me kind of sad. I literally can't think about the u used items lying around

Congratulations Mt Dew...... you have actually taken a diet soda and made it even less appealing.

"Diet Mt Dew, the only diet with Dew in it." Do I look like I want to drink poop? If I did there is diet coke, diet dr pepper or regular pepsi.

It amuses me that mid-way through my binge, mother rings me to awkwardly ask if I'm starving myself. Oh mother, if only you knew I'm eating all the things. Regardless binging is a silly reaction to being told I've lost weight. I wanted to lose weight, so why, if someone comments on it, do I then feel the need to binge? Don't answer that, I know why. Fat is a comfort blanket .

Madness.

Do you have an eating disorder? I'm so sorry if you do. I don't know what that's like, but it just must be terrible to be so conscious about eating and whatnot. You control your body, ok? Eat in relation to your health, not because of random comments.

You had to remind me of the horrible dr pepper 10.

The worst drink EVER though is an experiment from Coke.

Coke Blak. It got its name cause when you drank it, you can only make the sound BLECH!!!



It was horrible..... it was coffee and coke mixed. I tried it thinking it must only sound gross if they mass marketed it.

Nope, tasted just as vile as it sounds, no wonder it was only available from 2006-08... Im surprised it lasted that long.

Hey, at least DR.Pepper 10 had a manly commercial.

Coke Blak? I've never heard of it but coffee and coke sounds disgusting. I'm glad I missed it.

Yeah, you didnt miss anything..... it really was as nasty as it sounds. If you want to try it, get black coffee and a coke. Mix it half and half, put it in the fridge allow it to get cold. Then ingest, thats about the experience.

I took one sip...... made the bitter beer face...... then. I tried it again..... made the same face. Then I said, nope.... Im done.

It really was THAT bad, but I did like the bottle. It looked cool at least so it wasnt a complete waste.
