Hey, I have been at under 28 items for over 5 years. 🎉😂 I have only black clothing. (My favorite color) I have been looking for a couple more items of good quality and comfort but I have been unsuccessful. Some of my items walked away with my grandchildren. 🤦‍♀️😂I just wait until I come across the perfect items for me. I definitely have alot of criteria. 😂😂Everything fits, everything is comfortable and I love the ease of getting ready. I do live in the South so not a vast amount of temperature variation. I also do laundry every week.

I know of so many people who only wear one color clothing because of how easy it is! I love that you have so much criteria for you clothing, I'm getting better at that every time I shop. You inspire me by having such a small wardrobe! One of these times I might try to do under 30 just to see if I can do it!

Adhesive shelving for in your shower is helpful for me. Also suction cup hooks can be used on the shower walls for buff puffs or scrub brushes. A lazy susan or step riser can be helpful on your counter top to save space. I have both the over the door hooks and the shelving with bins. My bathroom is very small. I rent. It's unfortunately carpeted. (Which is both puzzleing and disgusting.

We definitely try to think outside the box around here especially in such a small space. That's why the boys have their "bike garage" in their room. Although I'm thinking about moving it after Christmas but we'll see. We put our table near the main window for light for homeschooling and put the living room furniture in the cozier darker side of the room because it just makes sense.

Plus I want to build a cat-e-o out there too. I will try and share it on my channel in the Spring. But I gotta declutter the "shed" first so that will be Decembers project I think.

I used to pre buy gifts and had an actual gift closet with wrapping accessories in the same place. Easy for the last minute I have a party that requires a gift. I used to buy all year round so when the holidays came it was just filler shopping. I always bought on sale. Now that my circumstances have changed I first sent money. 😂😂😂One size fits all. 💯 I don't decorate anymore and gave all to family or friends and whatever was left to donations. Since I am high risk, immunocompromised and have food allergies I stay home and don't have alot of people around. Everyone has to be healthy enough. I wear a mask regardless and lysol spray everything before and after. I clean every day and take breaks frequently. But daily is kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. Also pet care.😹🎉.
