10 Things Montly: September

It's Monday, and I'm back from two weeks of vacation and three consecutive trips. It feels good to be back and to get my life back in order! Guess what? I'm moving to a new apartment in the Palisades, which is a beautiful, quiet neighborhood along the Potomac a little northwest from Georgetown. It's been overwhelming to think about packing up my life in Tenleytown, but luckily I've been slowly getting rid of stuff all along. I don't have too many choices to make about what to keep and what to get rid of, because I've been doing it all along.  Here's what I'm getting rid of in September:

1. Printer - donate
2. Jewelry box - recycle
3-5. Jewelry - donate
6. Shoes - trash
7. Shoes - donate
8. Yoga ball and accessories - donate
9. Shoes - donate
10. Shoes - trash

It feels so good to get rid of these items that have just been taking up space. October might be a doozy if I decide to get rid of a lot more stuff during the move.

Can't wait to share pics of my new place.

10 Things Monthly: August

I've been going through older clothes this month and trying to downsize in general. It's a slow process, but I'd rather do it systematically throughout the year than face a huge task all at once. Here's my August exfoliation list:

1) Bathing suit top: trash (replaced this and the one from last month with several new ones from Lands End on sale at the end of the season. I'm excited to wear them at the beach next week!)
2) Stickers: recycle
3) Old jeans: trash
4) Old bracelets: recycle
5) Bathing suit bottom: donate (never worn, still with tags)
6) Small lamps (two of these): donate
7) Granola: trash
8) Black t-shirt: trash
9) Black t-shirt: trash
10) bra: trash

My Maggie September

September is upon us, and it's my month to celebrate! August was brutal for me, so I'm ready to take a few steps back and take it easy a bit. Yes, I do things a little backward from everyone else. September is my month to travel and relax. Can't wait! I'm headed to the Outer Banks for a whole week and then heading to Utah for almost another week. 

This playlist will see me roadtripping, lying on the beach, celebrating my birthday, and hanging with buddies. It's gonna be a gooooood month.
