What's up guys?
Happy Tuesday, and happy Day 2 of this 5 Days to Minimalism Challenge.
If you're not caught up, we're doing a 5-day challenge, Monday through Friday,
where each day, we're tackling a small area of our lives.
Day 1, which was yesterday,
was your purse.
And today, Day 2, the challenge is to tidy your car.
For me,
I know that my glove compartment and my center compartment of my car always get
a little bit messy, a lot a bit messy.
Today I'm going to go through tidying that.
And if you don't have a car, then today I'm going to suggest you do a miscellaneous category,
like your stationary.
Maybe your pens and notebooks at your desk, tidy that.
If you guys join this challenge with us, and you want to share it on social media,
make sure you hashtag #5DaystoMinimalism and tag me @lavendaire
and Brittany @naturallythriftymom as well.
So, ready?
Let's get to it.
So this is my center compartment.
It's always kind of a mess there.
This is trash.
Trash will go in this corner.
Don't think I need this.
This is a Christmas photo that I want to keep, but I'm going to keep it at home, so: Home.
I just need one pen out of all these pens.
I do always need perfume on the go because when I smell and I don't have time, yeah.
We're going to pick one Sharpie.
Does this even work though?
Yep, it does work.
Okay, this one doesn't work.
So that's trash.
This is a keep.
This pen, that works.
Okay, this pen does not work.
Trash that.
This pen is like, I don't really like it
because it's all sticky now.
Trash that.
I have another pen in here.
Let's try this one out.
Yeah, that works.
Keep that pen, trash that.
Tissues, they will come in handy.
I have to clean this out too.
Ugh, I'll clean that later.
I have two pairs of sunglasses in here.
This is the one that I wear right now.
Aux cord, definitely need to keep that.
These are like backup sunglasses so maybe they can go in the glove compartment?
These are keys and garage door opener for my boyfriend's place.
Okay, this is for good luck.
I should keep this in here because my mom cares.
I care too.
This one too.
This is for good luck and protection as well, so keep that.
This, I kept it in my car because it made me feel proud that I used to volunteer at
Red Cross,
but maybe it's time to retire this and put this away.
So I'm going to put this in my memory box.
Trash pile, take home pile, put in the glove compartment, keep pile.
Okay, let's do the side compartment because this is driving me crazy.
I haven't really looked in here for the longest time.
Umbrella.
Okay, umbrella and a water bottle.
Empty water bottle is trash.
I know I have an empty water bottle here, that's trash.
Maybe I should do this too.
Look at all this random stuff.
This is clearly trash.
Aw, this place closed down.
Me and my brother used to love this.
Memory box.
Memory stuff I'm going to move down here for now.
Okay this-626 Night Market fliers.
Look at this: 2013.
"A Thing of the Past", trash.
Utensils.
Do I ever need utensils though?
Trash.
This, I believe is band-aids and health stuff.
Yeah, band-aids and padding.
I should keep that.
I like this umbrella so I'm going to keep it.
I don't think I’ll need a map of LA. Dang, do you see this map?
That's the 10 freeway.
This is LA.
I mean I don't think I'll ever use this but this is kind of vintage.
I like it.
And it might come in handy, but no.
I very much doubt that I'll use it.
It's cool!
Should I keep it as a memento?
Doesn't really make me happy though, so-
it's cool but it doesn't make me happy, so there it goes in the trash pile.
Directions.
Directions to my interview for an internship.
Trash.
This is a cute little diary thing.
Let's check it out.
Oh, 2010.
Is this like a planner?
Oh, it's a nice little journal.
Okay, I'll keep this.
I'll give it to my mom.
Alright, so all we have left to put back are the umbrella, the backup kit,
and my tissues that I need often.
Put some tissues in there.
I know it doesn't look that great, but that's how you get the job done.
Next up, glove compartment.
Okay, let's see.
Okay this is empty, this is trash.
This makes me happy.
I've had this in my car for a while.
My coins, that doesn't really have coins right now.
Oh my god, there's my car charger.
Who made this for me?
I'm sorry I don't remember.
I'm going to trash this.
Ooh, I have a lot of stuff in here.
Some of this is important documentation
that I'm going to pull to the side.
Alright, let's take out all the stuff in here.
Oh man, I don't even know how to take it out.
Okay, there it is: empty!
I keep a lot of my CDs in the car because at one point, I was giving it away or something.
I think I'll just keep one in here.
Everything else I'm going to put back in my stash.
CDs, I mean they honestly make me happy.
I'll need it when I drive.
Driving is the only time I'll listen to CDs, if ever.
This is another good luck thing that my mom put in my car so, keep it.
This used to be
my music notecard.
Throw that away.
I feel like I should keep this stuff in my car,
so I know how to do things in case I have no internet and need to change my tires.
It happens.
All these car stuff, I'm going to put it in this little packet that I have.
Oh my god, more CDs?
There's so many CDs in here.
Done!
Nice.
This is my trash pile.
And that's my pile of stuff to put away.
