I have 13 mascaras.
Why?
I don't entirely know.
I don't wear it every day, nor will I keep them longer than 12 months for fear of some kind of crazy eye germs.
So.
I decided.
I'm going to keep just one.
It took a thirteen minute walk to come to this conclusion (intense thought is best for lifechanging decisions).
I hope you feel my sarcasm.
But i realised that i wanted to apply this principle to everything in my life.
rather than viewing those 13 mascaras as an investment. i needed to see them as money already spent and resources to do the best with that i could. and if that meant paring down the collection to have just one to use - so be it.
now. i have two.
One travel size and one full size.
Removing backups is my best decision yet.
I can't now hoard things because i'm fearful of running out.
