The Purge

Just got back this week to Brazil and I am in intense purge! Everything I put aside all year is now getting full attention (while still planning for VBS, camp, and a video). It seems to me that if you organize well your personal life, you are able to organize better your ministry life. At least, I find that is  true for me.

I´ve been doing blog reading on tips to do it better and I am in the process of adopting "simplify is better than organizing."  Why keep things I haven´t used in the past three years? Stuff just "grows" and after living here five years, I have an idea of what I should keep and what I can do without.

I love the "clean" uncluttered look! Worked on the bathroom and drawers and came up with a better system to adapt to my morning routine.

Top drawer: Toothbrush, toothpaste, contacts case, creme (day/evening), face cleanser, hair straighter. Middle drawer: Contact solution, eyeglass case, contacts.
Bottom drawer: brushes and waxing kit.

On Monday a friend came over and worked the drill--a real drill!--she helped me put up hooks and now I have pretty pink/black baskets hanging with things that croweded my drawers:

Basket 1: makeup
Basket 2: hair ties/rubber bands/clips
Basket 2: bobby pins

I love bobby pins; you can do so much with your hair! :) Have seen some great links with lots of ideas to try.
