How exciting to be in 2012..doesn't it have a great vibe about it??
Here's my word to begin the year "declutter". We might traditionally think of the home or office and I have certainly been working on those the last few days but something else that can often do with a big clean out is our makeup bag or drawer.
If you are a collector like me then you know there can be many treasures horded away.....Assess how old your mascara's and lipglosses are....they say 6 months is the limit but certainly if a mascara is 12 months they can be contaminated and unsafe to use.
To prolong their life if you aren't a regular makeup wearer use disposable wands. Regularly wipe your lipgloss wand with an antibac wipes...a makeup artist best friend is the instant dry brush cleaning sprays, just brilliant to keep things sterilised.
If you have been hanging onto those body lotions for 5 years or lipsticks you got in a gift with purchase that were NEVER your colour.....it is time to go!!!! You don't have to throw good things away, if they are fairly new but you just know deep down you won't use them then consider gifting to someone who will. My Mum is a great one for actually using the samples and soaps that find there way into every bathroom to clutter up and I think "I will take that on hols with me next time." but never do. So if you can relate...come on the declutter journey with me.
You will feel refreshed and have space to welcome the new!
Here's a couple of ideas - a really cheap drawer tidy is from IKEA for less than $5
