Spring Clean!!

Its that time of year where most people decide to have a huge spring clean.

For me this includes clothes, shoes and makeup.

I find spring cleaning really therapeutic, I love being able to have a good clear out. 

Clothing

With clothing and accessories sometimes it's just a case of passing on things to family members and friends or giving things to a charitable organisation. I often donate to a family friend who owns a orphanage in Ghana. Local councils and some supermarkets have clothes banks where you can donate old clothes and shoes which are either given to charity or recycled.

Makeup

Getting rid of old makeup is essential. There are millions of bacteria that build up on old makeup products which you would then be smearing all over your face (gross right).

A guide on how long to keep makeup is on each product.

Check the base of products for this symbol.

The small jar symbol indicates that this product can be used for 12 months after it has been opened.

I usually look through my makeup collection and think about how long I have had it, if there is a change in texture, colour and smell or it looks manky, I throw it away. What I'm keeping I wipe with antibacterial wipes to minimize germs.

Top tips:

1. If you don't use it and don't think you ever will let it go.

2. Having a clear out can be quite overwhelming  so group items and complete one group per day, e.g. shoes, dresses.

3. Treat yourself. Yep that's right, now I'm not saying to fill back up the space you just cleared out. But you should definetely treat yourself to something you have been lusting after as a reward.

So come on ladies let's get Spring Cleaning!!
