Some people really get into the spring cleaning thing.
I, myself, tend to get that need to nest, to clear and to get organized in the fall.
I guess it all started with September being the beginning of the school year...with all of those fresh, unmarked notebooks, brand new binders, sharp pencils and a nice, clean locker.
And lest we forget the new clothes, shoes and backpack!
It was a time for new beginnings...and I think I have always kind of associated September with the chance for a new start.
My birthday is on September 17th...and this year will mark my big 4-0 (did I just admit that!?!??), so I suppose I am really getting into it for that reason as well.
I am looking to go back to work...and so that is part of it as well.
I am looking for positive change peeps...to get out of a few ruts...to get my mojo back!
I started by doing a few simple things for myself.
I got a mani and pedi.
Then I decided to try dying and waxing my eyebrows and dying my eyelashes for shits and giggles. (I don't think I will dye my brows again. They look too dark for me...by the lashes are cool.)
My natural lashes are very long...but rather light...so for those (many) days when I don't wear eye make-up, the darker lash shade adds a little something to my (usually) tired peepers.
And don't mind my hair. Trust me. It is on my list!
Then I tackled my closet.
That was both depressing and cleansing at the same time.
Depressing because so many of my clothes don't fit me properly at the moment and cleansing because I got rid of crap I don't wear anymore and I organized what was left.
I also now have a better idea of what I have, what I need and how much room I have (or don't have as the case is!)
And also, now I get to go to The Goodwill to donate a bunch of stuff.
And shop!
Next on the agenda?
I think I will tackle my writing desk.
Since getting my little MacBook Pro, I rarely sit at my desk to write anymore, so it has become a dumping ground (yes it closes up!) for random papers, magazines, shit I don't want to lose and other "important" paraphernalia.
Basically, it is a giant junk drawer disguised as a desk.
Then...who knows?
Maybe a bath.
With bubbles.
Smiles,
Lora

Brows - too dark, right? |
My natural lashes are very long...but rather light...so for those (many) days when I don't wear eye make-up, the darker lash shade adds a little something to my (usually) tired peepers.

Not my closet...but pretty close! |

My new, clean closet. OK, I lie. But it looks much better than before. |

Good for you! Spoil yourself - Feel Good. You deserve it. When you're feeling good, you can tackle anything.
ReplyDeleteI always feel better after a mani-pedi :)
If I had a bath with a view like that, I would likely be pruney and sloshed much more often too!
Enjoy!
