Step 1: out with the old

Some call it spring cleaning. I call it...a disaster. Why? For me cleaning means making an even bigger mess than before. But to make things a little easier, I tackled my nightstands and bookshelves first. Interestingly, I came up with a lot of electronics. I got my first iPod in 7th grade and my first camera in 5th. Believe it or not, I STILL have them. I read about Gazelle in a magazine and decided to give it a try. The company will literally pay you if you send in old electronics. I came up with 3 iPods, 2 cell phones and 2 cameras that totaled at $63. Not too bad. A box for me to mail in my stuff is on it's way. Not only am I getting rid of junk and getting paid to do it, I'm going green. Instead of ending up in landfills, my devices will be recycled and and reused. Stylish? I think yes. I definitely recommend checking out the site. If you do, let me know what you think! Now...on to the my closet. Wish me luck.
