GIVE BEFORE YOU GET

Every once in a while I go to different home decor stores and do what I like to call "hunting". I walk through, see the newest home goods that are out, and maybe even holiday items. 

I also hunt at clothing stores for the newest fashions. I don't actually buy anything at that time, I just think about what I could add or take out of my wardrobe.

While at home, I look at my wardrobe and think about the clothes that don't fit so well anymore, look a bit old, or are just out of fashion. I put them in a bag and give them to a local charity. Maybe a homeless shelter or safe house for those who have had a hard time or who may have had to leave their homes in a rush. Doing so keeps my closet at a minimum, which I love because it keeps it simple and clutter free.
