Rigmarole?

Rigmarole can be defined as "confused, rambling, or incoherent discourse; nonsense." I figure this gives me permission to talk about pretty much anything I feel like on this blog. So, set your expectations low, and read on!

Week 3 Collection Update

Ten days to go!  Below is my updated collection list.  Lots of items are now designated as "Keepers," which means that I've used them a minimum of three times over the 30-day Challenge.  That's a good sign.

My goal this coming week is to add to my list of things that I'd like to get rid of.  Lots of these products I will attempt to swap or sell, but some will, I'm afraid, find their way into the garbage.  You can read about my thoughts on some of the items that are on their way out here.  On my list, any items in pink are products I'm LOVING, and any products in green are products about which I'm UNDECIDED.  Products in blue are products that I need to USE!

Numbers indicate on which day of the 30-day challenge I used the item.  (October 1 = Day 1; October 2 = Day 2; etc.) Once I use something three times, I'm going to label it a "keeper" meaning I no longer will keep track of what days I use it on.  I can still decide to toss it though if another product beats it out!
