    My struggle is getting rid of clothes I haven’t worn or don’t wear often. I have been working from home since 2018: Besides mom duties and church I’m not in the streets like that or traveling all year. Yet I have an entire storage unit for clothes. Large enough to store a car. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I gave several bags away to my sister in law but I have a long way to go.

    I love your ideas. The purse left in the car is a good idea, especially for me. I will surely start doing that. I brought this beautiful black raincoat, and you know raincoats are thin, but I could not squeeze it in my closet. This was suspect to me, so I struggled to open up the closet and saw that I have 18 coats. Why, just why, uuuggg so like you 2024 I'm not buying coats and footwear.

    Alicia!!! Please give laser another try but with a black owned business ( I stress). I used to love waxing until I saw the results on my friend and the carefreeness of it all. I’m not going to lie I was hesitant because of all the negative reviews from POCs and establishments not knowing how to proceed. I live in Brooklyn, NY and where I go is not a chain so it be found by where you are. But it is black women owned and the woman who owns it is a nurse. All techs are of color and have been trained accordingly. Laser is expensive but it does produce results if it’s done correctly. I pretty use it everywhere. My upper lip, toes, happy trail, underarms, full Brazilian front and back and full legs no issues whatsoever. Please try it again with the right place. I’m almost up to maintenance phase for they increase it little by little. But the hair does not grow all the way back. It’s more patchy than anything and way thinner not as thick at all. For hair to grow all the way back the technician had no clue what she was doing as well as the machine being ineffective. The technician is supposed to be able to see the hairs being lasered.
