Reducing our stuff one day at a time.
Find something to use up that has been loitering in your home for too long. Maybe a less liked toiletry product, an ingredient in your panty or maybe a craft supply item… Use your imagination.
About Colleen MadsenColleen is the founder of 365 Less Things and lives in Newcastle, Australia.
My name is Colleen, I currently reside in Newcastle Australia. I am a forty something year old mother of two grown children and in my third decade of being wife to my darling hubby. I love traveling, art and craft, spending time with friends and family and volunteering my time to help others.
My parents taught me well to make, mend, mingle and manage so being frugal, friendly and fun loving would describe me fairly well. I can also be opinionated, outspoken and defensive at times but hey no one is perfect. I look forward to getting to know you as well so join our friendly community here at 365 Less Things where we, that is Cindy, the readers and myself, share opinions, advice and lots of friendly encouragement.

In the move I discovered I had 5 different things of deodorant. They are now lined up on my dresser and I am going to finish them all before I buy anymore. 2 down. (One finished, the other one smelled awful so I threw it out–I don’t know if it went bad or if it always smelled like that, but I see why I didn’t use it!) I feel like this is a longer term use it up, but at least I know I won’t go buy another one when I start running low.
Working on apple cider as well. We made some hard cider, but it’s too dry. (Thus ignored in back of fridge). We made some non-hard that’s too sweet so we were ignoring it also. I decided there is an obvious solution: Cold evenings I’m trying to remember to mix them and heat them and have a warm cup of spiced cider before I sleep. Almost done…..one or two cups left. That’ll be a lot of space back.
I gave a new bottle of body wash to granddaughter after she gave it the sniff test. She liked the smell, I don’t. It’s been hanging under the sink for far too long.
Like Kayote, I just today finished up a deodorant, and tossed a claggy one that didn’t smell so good.
