Minimalism.

My goal in life is to be a minimalist.  I don’t really need a lot of material things..really..who does?  But in order for me to become a minimalist, I need to get rid of a lot of things I have.  I cannot justify throwing something that can be used away, nor can I give something half used (i.e. toiletries not clothes) to charity…so I must use it, right?  While cleaning out my bathroom, I came upon so much crap that I don’t need, that I must use it all in order to buy the crap I do want and need.  Does that make sense?  So, instead of buying and using my awesome Masaki Matsushima perfume that can only be bought in Sephora, I must go through about 12 body sprays of Sweet Pea and Cucumber Melon and 10 bottles of lotion.  Okay, not that much, but pretty damn close.

When I was in 8th grade I went through a Cucumber Melon phase.  Since then, my mom finds it necessary to buy me Cucumber Melon body lotion and sprays every year for Christmas and my birthday.  I don’t have the heart to tell her that that smell is headache and nausea-inducing.

So, maybe this should be a disclaimer:  I’m sorry for everyone who has to smell me for the next few months…especially when I get to the Cucumber Melon body sprays and lotions.

Also, here is a list of things that I DO NOT need.  If, by chance, you are in a store with me, and you see me picking one of these things up…tell me to put it down ASAP..thanks!

cotton balls

band-aids

hydrogen peroxide

eye shadow

lotion

body spray

Okay..thanks!
