True confession: Underarm stain
True confession: I sometimes get underarm stains on my light colored shirts. I have found a solution that WORKS.
Take this J Crew oxford (95% cotton/5% spandex). It was languishing in my closet.
One (1) part blue Dawn was mixed with two (2) parts hydrogen peroxide. A sprinkle of baking soda was added as well. The area was scrubbed for approximately 3 minutes and allowed to rest while the other underarm was treated.
The garment was rinsed and dried … and voila! No trace of stain remains. I went through the closet looking for other stains. This method also works like a charm on ring-around-the-collar.
The shirt is BACK in rotation! It's part of my 33 garment collection (see post from Friday, June 13 "join me on a journey: for more info).
Enjoy!

Use an app to get rid of junk mail
All:
Are you swamped with junk mail? Do you get mail and wonder, "How in the world did this thing make it to my home?"
Ditch the junk mail through prevention! Check out the FREE app "Paper Karma." I found out about it in Oprah magazine, which I read for free at the Stillwater Public Library.
I have successfully diverted mail from 30 companies. It's so easy to do!
Won't you try it? If you do, please let me know.

Join me on a journey ...
All:
I have been engaged in a personal project called "Project 333." From the website, "Project 333 is a minimalist fashion challenge that invites you to dress with 33 items or less for 3 months." For more info, visit http://theproject333.com/
I have taken the last month or so to clean out my closet. My daughter has helped me weed through the mire and reveal my best stuff. I am still learning! I took the old, worn, beyond repair garments to the Goodwill to be recycled.
I am still in the process of creating my list of 33 items. Here is what I learned about myself:

I am still in the process of creating my list of 33 items. Here is what I learned about myself:
- I keep things even when I can no longer wear them
- I know better what I like and what I don't like
- I don't like pants (I can't find any that really fit)
- I love cardigan sweaters
Won't you join me on this journey? If you do, please let me know!
