5 Tips to Help You Successfully Cleanse Your Closet

March 26, 2020

Unfortunately we are rolling into week 2 of Quarantine but it’s super important during this time to cleanse your space especially your closet. There are 5 Tips that will Help You Successfully Cleanse Your Closet and won’t leave you feeling empty. It’s important not be married to items in your closet unless they have sentimental value.

When is the last time that you wore it? When going though each item, ask yourself when is the last time you wore it. If has been more than 3 years, you won’t wear it in the next three years, so get rid of it.

Stay away from the notion that you’ll fit into items when you lose weight. This way of thinking will leave you with heaps of unneeded clutter in your closet. If it takes more than 5 pounds for you to fit it right now, cleanse it from your closet now.

Make two piles of the items that you are getting rid of, a pile for donations and another for potential resell to stores like Buffalo Exchange or Platos Closet. The donation pile will be items that would be harder to sell to the consignment shop. The selling pile is self explanatory, make sure that this pile has items that are in good condition and that you think have value.

While purging your closet, keep items that coordinate with at least 2-3 other items. You don’t want to spend your whole life buying new clothes for every event or occasion. If you keep this tip in mind you’ve secretly created multiple looks in your mind.

Force yourself to wear items in your closet. I am a culprit when it comes to buying quality pieces but not wearing them. Once your closet cleanse is complete, force yourself to wear those items within the next six months.

Closet cleanses are my most popular service and I know it’s not an easy task. These tips should help assist you while going through the process of Cleansing Your Closet Successfully.

Starting Accutane... again. ✨
Back in 2016, before I moved to LA, I completed my first round of Accutane and saw incredible results. Fast forward to today, and my skin has been going through it. What started as hormonal breakouts gradually turned into painful cystic acne, and after trying to manage it on my own, I decided it was time to seek professional help.
I’ve officially started a second Accutane journey with @honeydew.care and I’ll be sharing the process along the way. My goal is to be transparent about what this experience looks like as an adult navigating acne, confidence, skincare, and everything in between.
This journey won’t be perfect, but neither is skin and that’s okay.
If you’ve done Accutane before, I’d love to hear your experience and any tips you have for managing dryness, side effects, and the overall process. 💚

SPANX has officially entered the group chat. 👏🏾✨
I picked up a few pieces and had to do a try-on because the fit is fittingggg.
From the cobalt blue beach set that’s giving luxury vacation energy to the black skort and zip jacket combo that will absolutely be joining me on morning walks, errands, and airport runs... every piece understood the assignment.
The sports bra? Supportive.
The skort? Flattering.
The beach set? Already packed in my mind. 💙

Which look are you choosing: Team Vacation or Team Athleisure? 👀

Doing It For The Plot ✨💅🏾
Some people go sightseeing... we go nail supply shopping.
Me and Genevive took a little road trip to Long Beach to check out Alicia’s Beauty Supply and find some inspiration for future nail sets. Between the jewels, charms, stones, stickers, and endless polish options, let’s just say my saved nail inspo folder is about to get some competition.
As two girls who believe our nails are part of the outfit, this was the perfect little creative adventure.
Would you make a road trip for nail supplies? 👀💎
