After your holidays... declutter continues

If you stayed at a hotel when you have been away on holidays, did you pick up the complimentary soaps and shampoos and bring them home?

I have done so many times and I am sure most of you have also. What have you done with those small neat, cute little bottles that you were going to use when you get home? For me, I have been saving them in a few drawers for my next trip; of course, I never take them on my trips and they are still in the drawers.

I came across an email from my friend's Choir and they asked for donation of small soaps, etc. for the Lookout Shelter. Eureka! I can now finally unload all my collection to a good cause and also declutter my drawers. This was before my Christmas trip to Las Vegas, so when I was there, I asked the maid service (wth a daily $5 tip) to give me some extra sets of shampoos, soaps, etc and I carted them all home.

Go through your medicine cabinet, small drawers in your bathrooms, do you have any samples of soap from the store, small hotel shampoos, lotions, etc. ? If they have been used, just top up the bottle with what you have at home.

Gather them all up and bring them to the shelter, I am sure they will appreciate it.

Here's a list of items they will take. Click on the link below.
