Uncluttering My Room

While watching YouTube the other day, I somehow ended up watching some YouTubers' uncluttering videos where they cleaned out all of their makeup and closets. Watching those videos, seeing these girls get rid of massive piles of clothes and have a reorganized closet, really motivated me to clean out my closet yet again.

Here's one of the uncluttering videos. This is actually the first video of her decluttering her closet. There's a second one afterwards, but you don't need to watch it to get the gist of it.



I've cleaned out my closet a couple of times since this summer where I was casually find some clothes that I did not want to wear anymore, but I've never done a such a clean out where I took out the entire contents of my closet and drawers to completely start over like how the YouTubers did. Doing that definitely helped make me reorganize my closet into something neater. That and having my bf there also helped me decisively pick which clothes to keep and which to let go.

I wish I took a pic before I started cleaning up, lol. All I have are after pictures. Unfortunately, my closet actually doesn't look that much different from before. -__-" It still looks like I have a lot of clothes, which isn't wrong... Lol, I still couldn't clear out enough space to put my workout clothes anywhere, so they're still stuck on the ground.

But I did manage to get rid of quite a bit of clothes! There should be a couple more things in this pile, but I already gave some sweaters and pants to my mom, and one of my bro's friends is coming over eventually to look through the pile to see if she wants anything. The rest is going to Goodwill.

As you can see in the previous pics, I have some piles of TBR books in my closet, so I actually ended up getting rid of some more books and putting some more books in my while reorganizing my closet. This is because I had some TBR books underneath my bed for the past couple of months that I usually forgot that I owned since they were out of sight, out of mind.

I'll make another post of all of the books I'm getting rid of soon. I can't believe I already made a book unhaul post not too long ago, and I already need to make another one. I just own too many books that I'm never going to get around to reading, and I'm finally getting around to admit it, lol.

But yeah, uncluttering my closet felt really good. I've been trying to convince David to let me help him unclutter his closet as well, but he keeps on saying that he's too lazy, lol. I just want to help people unclutter their closets now because getting rid of unnecessary stuff feels really nice!

Cover Lover 53

I haven't done one of these in a long time. I almost completely forgot about it! However, I've been reading a lot lately (I know! I've been reading actual books instead of online manga, lol), and I remembered about my love for book covers! These covers are actually old now, but I still really like them! Ugh, I wish I was this good at design, lol.

I found this website called Creative Market which has a Free Goods section which gives you free designs from patterns to typography to themes to illustrations every week. Every week, they offer up to nine free goods that you can download. Although you have to be a paid member to get all nine free goods, six of them are still free for nonpaying members, which is more than enough to keep you satisfied in my opinion, lol.

I've been downloading the ones that I like for the past few months, and every time I see the new goods every week, I'm inspired to create and design. Then I remember that I don't have Adobe on my laptop to do anything. -__-" I really need to get at least the student version of Adobe since I can't really go to school and use their computers anymore now that I've graduated, lol. Maybe I'll do that soon!
