I took the description, "mini shelf makeover," at face value. This is my original mini shelf in my mini bathroom, followed by the obligatory cleanup. Turns out I don't have a lot of tchotskes, but what I do have I value. The shelf is about 6 ft above the floor amd well over my head to reach.

And looking at the shelf in the bathroom mirror; lovely colors.

Already done for my 2 min. task today! Had my art-y calendar from 2025 that I wanted to re-use as art in my kitchen, so went up to the attic where my paper cutter lives & cut off the out of date part on each page & now it's hanging in the kitchen for me to enjoy each month's beautiful artwork!

This was always the hardest task for me. I would be so meticulous that it would be overwhelming. But each year I did this, my List became shorter. It became the most fulfilling task for me. Now that I have moved into an apartment I get to do this here for the first time. happy dance

Bathroom - goodbye sample size cosmetics & skincare! 🤞

Breathe - I want to breathe to calm my nerves, breathe new life in to spaces, and be able to breathe instead of feeling smothered by stuff!! I also think Present - as in being present. I want to stop escaping on my phone!

My 3-word phrase is "Pure and Simple."

That inspires me to maintain a clean home free of needless things, elevate my 100% vegan diet to an even healthier plane, wear comfortable, attractive attire (including shoes -!) and lastly, strive for good character in all that I do.

My task was cleanout of linen closet.

Now have one tub of old linen to use for rags when painting. Some got tossed.

I have been quite ruthless, as we won't have a linen closet once we start renovating the bathroom. Quite a lot of what we had was worn out. And some things we don't really use. Have found a few alternative storage options for quite a lot of the linen we are keeping.

Have identified that pillow cases get worn and grimy looking or faded much more quickly than sheets, so may look for just a few nice new pillowcases.

Also finally got to overdue washing and drying and storing some knitted blankets (summer down under, and this job has been sitting for months on the 'to do' list).

Have gotten some things boys have outgrown out of the house using 'buy nothing' local facebook group. Donation box filling up fast again.

Bin is full again. Bin day tomorrow, thank goodness!

Treat - cup of tea, some netflix and a couple of yummy chocolate from a box that was a Christmas gift.

I am embarrassed at how long I have been cooking in near darkness because all three of the bulbs in my kitchen have gone. Luckily my house is open plan and with the living room lights on, I can sort of make it work in the kitchen. Today I took two minutes to change a bulb that I found in the back of a drawer. “Let there be light!!!” So satisfying and now I can see!!!!

Oops, forgot to include the pic of January!

Made my moodboard this weekend and cleaned the fridge. I’m really excited to participate again!
Hopefully my plans, lists and habits will stick this year…
