I was inspired to revise item #54 after reading of other people's efforts to dispose of clutter--by getting rid of one item a day for 365 days--on the Unclutterer blog. In my first effort, I did indeed "review my toiletries and cosmetics" and toss 15 items. Actually, I tossed more than 15 items: I decided that multiples of the same toiletry could only count once. For example, I disposed of six partially used hotel bottles of lotion and counted them as one item on the list of 60. Actually, being a child of a child of the Depression, I didn't dispose of the six partially used bottles, I decanted the contents into a big bottle and tossed the empties. I also donated 15 items of clothing when I cleaned out my armoire, so my current total is 30 of 60.

CEA's update #14
Item #54. Review my toiletries and cosmetics, toss as necessary, and replenish as necessary. Dispose of 60 items by throwing away, recycling, or donating.
