Packing Light

I hate packing, but I love getting away for a week so I dug in and started making my list. I use these cool “Pack This!” packing sheets that come in a pad from the book store, so organized and easy, love them! However, when I started checking off everything that I use not just in my daily routine, but in a week’s time, it is quite daunting…..

So, that got me thinking about all of the things we could do without if we really wanted to simplify. Do I really need a night cream, a separate eye cream, day moisturizer, eye roller and 2 face washes. Add to this creme foundation, mineral powder, mascara, lip color along with all the various blush and eye shadow palettes. I honestly don’t use most of this stuff anyway, but I bought it in a moment of weakness for fashion and vanity. In a radical attempt to simplify for the week, I chose only a few of my most basic necessities and off I go on my experiment.

What else could we do without or pare down?

Where could we simplify our lives?

Take a good look at your surroundings and your routine as you go through your day and see what is unnecessarily complicating your life. Take a deep breath and let it go…it really is freeing!
