53 bottles of hotel toiletries standing on the wall…
December 15th, 2005 by jennemede
Finally, found some time and energy to clean out my personal stuff. When I say personal stuff, I mean my handbags, shoes, beauty stuff. I’d believed that I don’t really shop a lot, but guess what? I lied. Look at the amount of crap I’ve accumulated:
- Five pairs of glasses, two of which are EXACTLY the same
- Ten slightly dusty but otherwise intact free Cathay Pacific, Northwest, MAS etc toiletry bags (first-class, no less, from my globetrotting, journalist days).
- About a dozen handbags, two of which are ALMOST the same
- Two toiletries bags full of makeup. Some of the lipsticks date back to when matte earthy colours were all the rage. Remember?! OMG. Any chance they’re back in style again?!
- Two shoe boxes of costume jewellery (including like 30 pairs of fake Swarovski crystal earrings nd silver hoops, wtf?!)
- No less than THREE boxes of clothes I am trying very hard to get back into but am failing miserably since I have like NO willpower.
- Two BIG (and I mean cigarette crates big - not cartons. CRATES.) boxes of shoes for ALL seasons and reasons.
- One more box of hair stuff like clips, rubberbands, hairbands
- Two plastic boxes of toiletries (including 53 bottles of free stuff from hotels, some of which I’m pretty sure have closed down)
- Three plastic bags of rubbish JUST from our room from MY stuff. Alone.
Kill me now.
