Cleaning and the Meaning of Life by Paula Jhung

I purchased this book from BookXcess in April, I think. Well, what can I say, I just love Personal Finance and Organizing books.

This book is written in short bullets and easy to read and refer to. Paula writes the book in a humorous manner making reading about cleaning and decluttering your space a fun read. There are lots of ideas on how to organize, declutter and simplify your life in this book.

Donations and decluttering

I finally went to the charity donations box in Centrepoint today. I am happy to announce that I donated 12 pairs of shoes and 2 bags of clothes. I hope somebody makes good use of them.

I have other clothes and shoes that I intend to donate but I was thinking of taking them to the SPCA as they now have a charity shop and I thought that I'd take my nicer stuff to them so that they can sell them and make some money for the animals. I just love animals and hope that my donation will help them some.

No more clothes and shoes shopping!!!

I've discovered many new things in my wardrobe that I haven't worn, some even have price tags on them still. So this is what I plan to do --- I'm going to put a hold on clothes and shoes shopping for awhile until I have exhausted my current supply or until I feel like giving some of my present stuff away to charity. There is no point in having an abundance of clothes and shoes and not using them. I figured that I could save a lot of money by just chilling and not going shopping as I had normally done in the past.

I am also, at the same time, weeding through my clothes and putting away the clothes that I no longer use away to be donated to charity.

Decluttering Shoes

I just watched Enough Already! With Peter Walsh on decluttering footware. Watch the video.



The woman in the video had 42 pairs of shoes to begin with and in comparison, I hate to admit this, but I have waaayyy more pairs than she does (I don't even want to count!). Yes, I'm a shoeaholic!

Inspired by Walsh's video clip, I immediately got down to decluttering my shoes (not all, but some...hey, that's a start, isn't it?) and I'm proud to say that I managed to toss out 16 pairs so far. My aim is to toss out 24 pairs...got to be more discerning when deciding which pairs to keep and which should go into the donation bin. Will keep you updated on how I get on with that goal of mine.
