Wine About It
Hello wonderful readers,
Happy Monday!
Thank you all so much for reading the special post I shared on Friday, and for your beautiful feedback. Last Friday's post was one that put me in a very vulnerable space, and I am very fortunate it was received with such open and accepting arms. Thank you for making this a safe and positive space for me to share.
Last week Monday, I shared a #MsMinimalistChallenge to go through your items that were on flipped hangers and it was received very well! I am so proud of all of you for taking part in the challenge and sharing your progress with me.
Please feel free to join the challenge anytime and contact me with questions you have along the way. I am always here to help! Congratulations to Kim D. for being last week's #MsMinimalistChallenge winner!
For this week's #MsMinimalistChallenge we will travel to an area you might have never thought to minimize in - your wine glass collection. My husband, Trevor, and I have a beautiful wine rack we were given as a wedding gift last August. This wine rack provides space for us to hang our stemmed wine glasses and store bottles of wine in our dining room. It's a gorgeous piece, but when Trevor put it together, we quickly realized we had more wine glasses than would fit on the rack. This led us to store the overflow of wine glasses in our wooden built-in cabinets, which are also located in our dining room.
Trevor and I both enjoy a nice glass of red or white wine - yes, we have glasses for both kinds - so, as you can imagine, our collection has got a little out of control.
It seemed that everywhere I looked in dining room, there were unused wine glasses sitting collecting dust and not fulfilling their purpose. So, we decided to minimize our wine glass collection.
We began minimizing this collection by looking at the glasses that didn't fit on our wine rack - which we always seem to forget about. Trevor and I asked ourselves, "are these extra glasses needed and are they adding value to our life?" We answered "no" to both of these questions, so they made their way into the donation pile. We then made our way to our wine rack where the most used glasses (quite literally) hang out. We continued to ask ourselves the same questions and other glasses made their way into the donation pile. We even found martini glasses that we have never used, so they too made their way to the donation pile. Before we knew it, we had multiple sets of glasses ready to be donated and fulfilling their wine loving purpose!
I ask you to take time this week to venture to your wine glass collection and see if any can be donated or parted with. If you ever get stuck on an item, be sure to ask yourself these questions:
-Is this item needed?
-Is this item adding value to my life?
Once you answer these questions, make your decision.
Heck, have a glass of wine while you are doing this challenge! See what glass(s) seem to be the ones you use most and that you need moving forward.
When you have finished going through your wine collection, take a picture of all of the glasses in a pile and tag #MsMinimalistChallenge for your chance to win this weeks prize! Feel free to join the challenge anytime and start finding the life you deserve underneath all of your physical items.
Happy minimizing!
