____ 1. Say goodbye to old cosmetics, and those you never use. Use this week to weed out cosmetics that are a) old (they can harbor harmful bacteria) or b) that you never use and likely won't ever use. Many cosmetics have expiration dates printed on makeup containers and some are inscribed with a POA (Period After Opening) date. (Example: POA 12 m would mean use from the date of opening and forward 12 months...then discard.) If none of this is included on the cosmetics case or container, use this as a rule of thumb:

Mascara or Eye Liner: Discard after 3 months

Liquid Foundations and Concealer: Discard after 1 year

Powder Makeup, Lipstick, Lip Gloss, and Eye and Lip pencils: Discard after 3 years

____ 2. Get rid of socks and undergarments that have holes. Unless you're planning on sewing those holes up (very unlikely for most people), say goodbye to socks and undergarments that have holes. Buy replacements if needed.

____ 3. Organize one drawer. Whether it's a desk drawer, a drawer in your dresser, or a kitchen drawer, pick one drawer and organize it. The easiest way to tackle this is to completely empty out, clean the drawer, weed out any junk, relocate anything that's in there that should be somewhere else, then return the 'keepers' back to the drawer in an organized fashion.

If you've struggled with weight loss, and most of us do, then you know how difficult it is to lose weight and keep it off. Sometimes we are looking to lose a lot of weight and other times, we're just trying to shake a few pesky pounds. Sometimes we want to tone up and/or get rid of some flab...and other times, we're just looking for sound nutrition and healthy living advice.

You may know that I'm not only an organizing expert...I am ALSO a fitness expert. I teach fitness classes at both my local YMCA and the Senior/Community Center. Bottom line, I know A LOT about nutrition, fitness, and healthy living.

Now, don't get scared from the get-go.

* I don't starve myself...in fact, I really LOVE food and I eat quite a bit each day.

* I exercise regularly, BUT I don't have an insane exercise regimen that takes up tons of time. In fact, I have a very enjoyable fitness routine.

* I don't take any supplements, diet pills, and I don't drink protein shakes or any of that. My diet is very natural and made up exclusively of nutritious and delicious foods.

'Consider the fact that maybe.just maybe.beauty and worth aren't found in a makeup bottle, or a salon-fresh hairstyle, or a fabulous outfit. Maybe our sparkle comes from somewhere deeper inside, somewhere so pure and authentic and REAL, it doesn't need gloss or polish or glitter to shine.' --Mandy Hale
