“No matter how cluttered it looks, don’t pause, don’t stop, and don’t quit. It’s all for you and for your family.” ~Renelyn Tan, Decluttering Like A Guru
I had such an engaging time with other Bella's during the BDJ Rendezvous Declutter Your Life event last July 28, 2018, at SM Light Mall, Ground Floor, Activity Area. Not only that I get to learn on decluttering but I also get to relax while decluttering which I never thought is possible.
I got to listened and got inspired by the different experts during the event as they talk about different ways on how we can start decluttering our home and our mind.
The BDJ Rendezvous: Declutter Your Life aims to educate and inspire the community by giving them a new perspective on the practice of decluttering, both material and mind.

During the event, I learned the Simple Act of choosing what to keep and what to discard in the easiest way. That would bring peace, harmony and enjoy a home filled with stuff I LOVE. Decluttering your work area and your home are great ways to start reducing the clutter and stress in your life.
Keep what makes you happy and healthy; discard what no longer adds value to your life. Complete declutter is decluttering your whole house, going through all your things not overlooking a single corner/drawer/box/closet/etc. Staying committed and motivated in the midst of decluttering our lives is to: The steps on how to declutter effectively:
- Do not Buy things that you don't really need.

Just like what I learned from decluttering it is also inevitable to declutter some people who succumb the positivity in you and messin' out with bringing negativity in your life. So choose also the group of friends who bring out the best in you in everything that you do and inspire you to be the best that you can be.
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Supporting http://www.wacoalph.com in preserving the beauty of Mother Nature by donating old bras. Most women have an unwanted bra or two lurking in the back of a drawer. From the pretty impulse buy that turned out ot be uncomfortable or impractical, to that unsuitable gift or just when you really need to replace your bra - reuse, recycle or upcycle them. When you are ready to ban a certain bra from your wardorbe, don't burn it. Just put your old bras into Wacoal's Bra Recycle Bags and drop it off to their stores. All Bra Recycle Bags delivered will not be unsealed, and will be directly processed into Fluff Fuel. This fuel substitutes for fossil fuel like coal used at cement companies.
Participation Method:
- Find your old bras
- Put your bras into recycle bags. Seal the bags by using the sticker at the top. (Each recycle bag can contain 4 bras).
- Bring the bags to Wacoal stores and give the bags to their staff.
Signs that you need to replace your bra:
- It looks worn out.
- Cups are wrinkled and deformed.
- Straps slid off even when you adjust it.
- The fabric loses its elasticity.
- The wire is deformed or is poking against your skin.
Wacoal encourages you to do your part for Mother Nature. As women, we should look after our environment much like the care we put into keeping our figures beautiful. Check out last BDJ's event in collaboration with Wacoal Ph http://www.leomyc.com/2018/07/bdj-passion-series-celebrate-and.html.
- Clutter - Non-beneficial thoughts to your goal.
- Always ask "Is this thought beneficial to my goal?"
- Awareness is enough to eradicate clutter.
- Plan your life out of love, not out of fear.
- "Is this situation worth my peace?"
