Last night I went on a cleaning spree. I think that anytime I’m stressed or sad, I turn to cleaning to center myself and feel “in control.” I spent at least 2 hours cleaning out my closet last night (I also cleaned the bedroom and bathroom.) I even took all of the socks (mine and my husband’s) out of the sock drawer and threw all the old/torn ones away and turned them all the right side out. I also made another donation pile of clothes I never wear anymore and some tee shirts and stuff.
Cleaning is always a calming thing for me. When I organize and clean things, it makes me feel like everything is OK and everything is better. I’ve kind of always been that way. My closet was a mess so I was really happy I took the time to clean it. I think it will be a lot easier to pack now.
After sleeping in this morning (I was up until almost 2 cleaning) I made a trip to Sephora to use my 20% off coupon. Here’s what I got:
Ole Henriksen- Ultimate Lift Eye Gel
Boscia- Green Tea Blotting Linens

Luminizing Black MaskBoscia- Green Tea Blotting Linens
Tarte-
Natural Lip Stain with LipSurgence™ Technology in “charmed”Make Up For Ever- Aqua Smokey Lash Mascara
Sephora Collection Kabuki Brush

I am really happy with the products I got using Sephora’s 20% off coupon. This was actually my third time using the F&F discount. I also got YSL Touche Eclat, Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb rollerball perfume, Philosophy Microdelivery Mini Peel Pads, Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner and Benefit Eye Bright in previous orders.
I also stopped by Victoria’s Secret today to use my “$10 off a bra,” “free ruched panty,” and “free lacie thong” coupons (I get A LOT of coupons in the mail.)
I ended up getting this VS sport bra:

I also bought a bunch of VS PINK panties, they always suck me in with their bright colors and prints! They were on promotion—7 for $25. They have some really cute designs out right now! I can’t wait for the VS Fashion Show on November 30th! I DVR it every year and use it as workout motivation.
Tomorrow night my plan is to pack for my trip so it’s done and ready to go.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

Veronika.

I can totally relate to the cleaning therapy! I am exactly the same way. I feel like while I'm cleaning my closet/house, I feel like I'm cleaning these bad/sad thoughts/emotions from my mind as well. Crazy huh? I've been wanting to try MUFE's Smoky Lash but I'm so in love with L'oreal Voluminous and I can't seem to leave it! I got that 7/25 email from VS too, can't wait to go on a shopping spree to VS, loveeee those PINK undies! Hope you have a safe trip to Slovakia, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. <3

I am the same way with cleaning. I cannot have an unorganized or cluttered house, it makes me nuts and actually stresses me out. It's such a nice, cleansing feeling to clean and organize and know exactly what you have. Can't wait to hear your Sephora reviews, I used my discount 6 times! lol. I will have lots of reviews too 🙂 I got the peel pads you recommended, can't wait to receive my order!

Great haul!! You'll have to do a review on the eye lift, I'd love to hear your opinion on it. And yes, yes, I love to clean when I'm stressed. Or workout, it just clears my head. 🙂

I cannot wait for the VS fashion show too!! I love the models, and, I've never actually seen it before, so I'm planning to DVR it too.
Great deals at VS, I have the same coupon and need to remember to use it!

Hey girl-
I'm insanely behind on my blog reading, so I apologize for giving my condolences about your grandma a bit late. My grandma died suddenly too- and it's always such a shock. Your grandma looked like a wonderful, vibrant person- the photos you picked in the post about her showcased what you wrote about her personality beautifully. Much love and hugs to you and your family, and make sure to take all the time you need to let your heart heal.
I'm also a mad cleaner when I'm stressed. In fact, I only clean late at night when I can't sleep- there's something so methodical about it, it just puts my mind right at ease! Glad to know I'm not alone in my cleaning-craziness. 😀

thanks Chloe 🙂 you're sweet! I can't wait to see your living room all finished.
I love cleaning late at night too…might as well be productive.
thanks for the condolences, it's very much appreciated.
