I'm trying to go thorough my collection of tiny mini soaps, and donated a bunch to a shelter. But i still have the compulsion to take whatever is "free".

These days, I don't pack shampoo or conditioner, but use the bottles provided. The leftovers, if any, go home with me and get dumped into larger bottles of shampoo and conditioner. No more tiny bottles lying around.

I still catch myself wanting to tuck a few away "just in case". I got rid of all of ours a couple of months ago. My parents have a cottage we visit a couple of times a year. We left several there - it's nice not to have to pack toiletries for a stay at the lake. The other was a local women's shelter - apparently when the ladies flee for their lives, they arrive with nothing, and they like to make up little baskets of toiletries for each lady. It felt great to purge my collection knowing these ladies would get a little taste of comfort at a rotten time. Welcome back! Keep blogging, we're all fighting the clutter fight together! And sheesh..it's ongoing! :) ME TOO! I still catch myself wanting to tuck a few away “just in case”.
