Throw 50 Things Away to Declutter your Mind & Think Clearly. I've thrown out 50 items. 47 physical items and 3 mental items. It was REALLY hard to throw out 47 physical items. It's easier to throw out trash (plastic wrapper, food wrapper, daily newspaperthat kind of thing... ) Some items I threw out more than 1 of the same item, but it counts as only 1. Some items are gone in the trash yesterday already, and the rest will go out on Tuesday's garbage day, but they're already bundled up in garbage bags ready to go. It feels REALLY good to declutter, let me tell you!
1. candles
2. formula scoopers (from Sean's formula containors - I thought they'd be handy for some art project)
3. magnets
4. comb (I'm a brush girl!)
5. coasters

8. expired medication
9. face cream

I was inspired by your list and decided to take the challenge! :-)
this is an awesome idea! I saw a lot of things on your list that should be thrown out of our house too. I'm gonna have to think about the 50 things that need to go first before I start listing and throwing!
