04 | BEAUTY CART

In my last post I shared that Sundays are just for me to chill and relax. I work 6 days out of the week and other than the help and support from Joe, we manage to keep the home clutter free and clean. It took a lot of time, and a lot of letting go of things that no longer worked for us. I donated all of the clothing that Adrian outgrew, and I do this whenever he outgrows his things. There are no plans of having another child, but I still have the clothing and items that mean a lot me. Like, his coming home sleeper, a few pairs of shoes and things like that. The same was done with my clothing and shoes. I cant forget about makeup! The amount of makeup that I got rid of made me proud! Now the items that I own, I use! And that is the point. Why have palettes and palettes and never use them? Waste.

One of the last things that must be purged is my office’s closet. Its where I keep my seasonal shoes, and jackets, and handbags. Amongst other things. But it’ll get done. Until then, I tackled the smaller closet that is next to the main floor’s bathroom (our home has two full baths, one on each floor) which is where my makeup trunk was being stored, and some other beauty items of mine.

I decided to hit up my local Michael’s arts and crafts store and purchase this cart that I’ve been eyeing for years now! I originally discovered a similar cart I Ikea when my good friend Valeria and I went. She went there specifically for this cart and I fell in love. I don’t know why I didn’t get it then? But, its mine now. And in a cute color!

Rose gold! I’ll admit that when I set foot inside of the store, my mind was set on the mint green color. BUT my gut insisted that I opt for this one. And I am glad that I did because…

My makeup trunk and the cart were meant to be together : ) These were the items that I had to relocate from the close to the cart:

Top level is my makeup trunk, second level is where the palettes that didn’t make it into the trunk belong, the blue makeup bag is where my everyday makeup brushes are. The third level is where I have my essential oils and room spray and pretty faux flowers gifted to me by Valeria : )

This makes things easier for me. I keep it in my office which is next to the bathroom, and wheel it in and out when I need it. Practical and visual stimulation lol.

Love and light, Cin.
