Your next girls night in

I don’t have an addictive personality but I do have one very bad addiction – I’m addicted to clothes shopping. This is actually quite a bad habit to have. It’s wasteful, expensive, and completely materialistic.

But, there is some good that comes out of it. My sisters (I have three of them) look forward to my ‘cleaning out my wardrobe days’ which happen three or four times a year. They love it so much that I struggle with who to tell first because the first usually gets the best freebies.

Make a night out of it

Next time I clear out my wardrobe I’m going to make a real night out of it. I’m going to invite my sisters and girlfriends around to my place for a clothes exchange. I’m going to ask everyone to bring the clothes and jewellery they no longer need or want. Then we’ll get some great food and more importantly some great deserts, and delve through the clothing and jewellery to find anything we want to keep. Everything left over can then be taken to a charity.

It’s going to be a really great girls night in where we (hopefully) all depart with a few new additions for our wardrobes.

What has this got to do with health?

Actually, a lot. Clearing clutter and disposing of unwanted items is a great way to remove some of the stress and emotional imbalance in your life. Even the private chaos you have behind closed wardrobe doors is enough to add unwanted tension to your life. Try it, clear out your cupboards and wardrobes and I can guarantee you will notice a nice little added calmness and tranquility in your life. Also helping others out by giving away something you no longer need but they will treasure is definitely rewarding to the soul.

Have fun girls,
