A break from it all....

Ok I can't believe its almost been a month since I logged on here. Well I know its been a while and it was purposeful. Life's been so busy lately that by the time I get home from my full time job, I'm just too exhausted. I had to take a break from reviewing, giveaways and just writing to re-focus. Re-focus on myself and my family.
I'm hoping to be back in full swing. I miss writing here and communicating with everyone. So please accept my apology. I know its a crappy way to start off the new year but I promise it will get better.

Time to purge, purge,purge

Why is it that when its the new year we feel compelled to clean? Hubby & I decided to rearrange our bedroom today. It's something we have been meaning to do and since we were off from work today we decided to tackle it with full force. It took us a few hours but we're pleased with how it turned out. I had to realize that I've kept so much crap over the years. Why do I still have make up from 5 years ago? Or about 20 bottles of lotions? Hubby told me "Just purge! Let them go already." I had to give him a look like what? This is my stuff. So what I haven't used that Loreal lip gloss but I will soon. I just don't know how I became a mini hoarder. So purge I did. And you know what?  It felt good! I felt like I was releasing myself from baggage, allowing myself to move forward. It may sound weird but it was therapeutic. As this is the year for a new me, it definitely was an added step toward that progression. So I just say purge, purge, purge.
