--Day 10-- Socks and leggings galore. Many purchased during a break-up oddly enough in 2009. On pair I definitely wore in middle school, so somewhere between 1998 and 2000. Yikes. #theminsgame #day10 #socks #getridofit https://www.instagram.com/p/BrRf64pnUCR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lttno58exscz

--Day 11-- I never though of myself as a person with a makeup problem...but I am a 31 year old woman throwing away eyeliner bought when I was, like, 16. 19 for the newest one. Also a random bracelet I was obsessed with in middle school. Seriously, how is this shit even in my house?? Also pictures the eyeshadow pallets I was obsessed with when I was 15 (2002) #theminsgame #day11 #makeupissues #middleschool #eyeinfections for everyone https://www.instagram.com/p/BrO000tnna7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ysc5701se6l1

--Day 9-- I assume all writers have #bookproblems. This can't be unique to me. But not all books are equal. This collection in shedding includes textbooks from required classes, bullshit books on teaching, and the behemoth that is Anna Karenina. As a woman engaged to be married to a Russian, this may be sacrilege. However, I read Russiab classics on my Kindle these days, and intend to read them in the original someday. Fuck bulky translations. #theminsgame #day9 #books #writerproblems #russianlit https://www.instagram.com/p/BrMTdboHS3Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hmyd16z3e86o

—Day 8— It’s expired food from the pantry day! Oldest expiration date is from 2012. It’s a small miracle we haven’t killed ourselves with botulism yet! #theminsgame #minimalism #day8 #foodwaste #iamagrossperson #expired #offbrandcereal https://www.instagram.com/p/BrJuDZ0nhyl/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j0rzfixkp72s

--Day 7-- Literally just underwear from the bottom of the drawer. Haven't worn any of these in over a year. Estimate the oldest pair are from 2010. #theminsgame #day7 #underpants #yesimpostingmyunderwearontheinternet #getridofit #surelyimnottheonlyone https://www.instagram.com/p/BrHME6AnB3S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15s8pyk4v318j

--DAY 6-- . A poncho (2012) I never wore. Gifted to me by a student. Ancient snickerdoodles never eaten, probably 2015. An absurd number of single-USB plugs. Ain't nobody got time for those. #theminsgame #day6 #somanyplugs #getridofit #ancientcookies https://www.instagram.com/p/BrEgj50H1j9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m6cm18perdqn

--Day 4-- A penny from a #pennyboard that must have travelled home with me during the 2015-2016 school year because the velcro is all wrong. . #Soak handcream in Fig from around 2015. Usually a love Soak things, but I just didn't like the smell of this one. Should have given it away then. . Two "fashion" binder clips I have always hated, gifted to me in August 2011 by a co-worker who had never met these. They've always made me unusually angry for office supplies. No clue why I even brought them home in the first place . #theminsgame #day4 #getridofit #minimalist #whydoidothistomyself https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_elf-HOLo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6xxsm55vhaw8

—Day 3— I give you a broken pointer (from 2014), my old KnitPicks umbrella swift (maybe 2009?) and my beloved #society6 phone case for my last iPhone (2013-14). Actually a little sad to let go of the case. It did me right and made me so happy. But alas, the phone was traded in last month. #theminsgame #day3 #minimalism #getridofit https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8uatXHSfO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12mnx3isk9b8k
