Minimalism is about you life. (not just about your closet)

 Today's blog post is the FINAL post of the minimalist game! I am so excited about that. Warning: Today's assortment of decluttered goodies is so random. Without further ado, here we go. :)
 Day 21:
1-21. A random assortment of Seventeen and Glamour magazines along with samples and coupons I do not want anymore.
 Day 22:
1-15. The basket (which I am finally getting rid of ) contains an assortment of ribbons, headbands, and one dog tag chain.
16-18. A stylus and a few random pens that ran out of ink.
19-22. Jewelry: These are either broken or singular earrings.
 Day 23:
1-18. A random assortment of old school papers, receipts, and makeup booklets that come with products.
19-23. 5 Glow Sticks - They were bought for a chemistry experiment, and I didn't end up needing them.
 Day 24:
1-13. A random assortment of shirts, tank tops, dance clothing, shoes, and other clothing items that I haven't really reached for.
14-17. The 4 little plastic tubes are connectors for glow sticks.
18-21. More random earrings that have somehow been separated from the other ones...
22-23.2 Chuck-E-Cheese coins that I have no idea why I still have
24. I somehow miscounted and added 2 more random sheets of paper to this decluttering pile so I guess now I technically have 2 Day 25's.
 Day 25:
1-3. art books/ paper
4. random lonely sock
5. ink pen that's out of ink
6. sweatshirt string from a sweatshirt (I hate these by the way.)
7. old headphones
8. earrings
9-13. old iPod Touch accessories
14. screen protectors
15-16. contact solution/ empty contact lens box
17. old medicine
18. old bracelet
19. rubber band from a package
20-25. plastic grocery bags
 Days 26/27: (53 items)
1-43. receipts - I literally have NO idea how I collect so many receipts.
44-53. Nintendo GameCube Games - I decluttered the controller on day 10, so why not get rid of the games right?
 Day 28:
1-27. 27 plastic grocery/ clothing store bags - we normally reuse the grocery ones from groceries, but we have way too many.
28. Nintendo GameCube Game carrying case
 Days 29/30: 59 items
1-38. makeup items that are being decluttered / the Ulta box they are in
39. peach ball
40-44. random keychains / lanyard
45. random video game
46-54. shoe box filled with old school planners and papers (The name of the school was on them, so they are not being shown.)
55-59. folder with yet more school papers that once again have the school name on them
Day 31:
1. black flats - (I had these for almost 6 years and now they are falling apart, so they are being replaced)
2-31. a random assortment of papers - (You never notice how many papers you use in a school year until you go through them. Oh, and there is a lovely makeup picture on top so my information is not given away.)








Woooooo, the minimalist game is finally done! 497 items have been decluttered. I'm so excited to finally be able to announce that :) Before I end this blog post, I'll leave y'all with some things that I learned during this challenge.

1. It's super easy to not realize how many things you actually have. Before this challenge ended, I didn't believe that I would own almost 500 things that I would actually deem unecessary to have.
2. If you have to continuously try to convince yourself that you need something, you don't need it.
3. If you're a college student, you don't have to keep every single essay you turn in on paper AFTER the school year is over. If you still want to keep it, save it to a USB drive on online hard drive and put the grade received and teacher comments . Do not do this before final grades are posted.
4. I should really opt for eReceipts when I can... I had no idea I accumulated so many receipts.
5.It's surprisingly refreshing to not own so many things. You don't have to fill all of the storage space that you have. We live in such a materialistic world that it's easy to feel like we need so many things. Truth is, you don't.


Thanks for sticking with this through this series. I'll talk to y'all soon in a different blog post!:)
