EDP Item #54: variety of hair product




Reason: well, the product i have found is the TiGi Manipulator but it's like $17 for 2.5 oz. I was on the hunt for a cheaper alternative and these were my trials. They all failed! I did however find one called "Demented" at Sally's which is like $6. That's what I use now other than the occasional lotion to cut the frizz without sticky product.
Destination: a couple of these I had to throw out but the salvageable ones will be given to my friend who is a hair stylist.
Comment: I know this sounds like a post from the female species.

EDP Item #53: iZone mini instant Polaroid film




Reason: I bought about 10 rolls o this stuff because I really like instant film and I wanted to use them but every roll was expires and bad. Couldn't get a single photo out of them.
Destination: film is unfortunately going in the trash and the packaging will be recycled.
Comment: What a waste of $70 dollars. I learned something from this emotional purchase.

EDP Item #52: 9 pairs of sunglasses




Yes, you read that right. We kinda have a collection going and in all honestly it may be a collection I keep working on...
Reason: The problem here is that most of these sunglasses are either broken, weird or simply don't fit. We have 9 pairs here and there are still more around the house we actually do use regularly.
Destination: a few of these will go with us to Uganda which we will leave there with whoever they find. A couple are almost broken do they may end up in the recycle bin. What's left will go in the next garage sale.
Comment: Yes, we could have probably made this more of a sacrifice and depleted some more of the ones we use but there may have to be another round of cuts later this year. Pretty crazy when you deplete 9 pairs of sunglasses and there are more available to deplete.

EDP Item #51: Make-up Bag




Reason: I have enough of these and seem to always inherit more.
Destination: donation or fundraiser
Comment: I love bags, purses, coin purses, etc but I really have too many and don't need them. I'm sure more of these will be depleted soon...just have to get around to finding them and eliminating the items inside them.

EDP item #50: Lanyard




Reason: I haven't used this in a couple of years. I think I used it for my gym ID, hence the Adidas version.
Destination: Samaritan Inn. The residence at The Inn wear a lanyard with their ID badge while they are on property. Some of them like to "jazz up" and individualize their ID's and lanyards. This PINK lanyard will help add a little fun to their stay.
Comment: it's a lanyard. What more is there to say.

EDP Item #49: Phone Cord




Reason: I know this is a lame item. We don't need another phone cord. We probably have 10 of them and when we find them, they will be depleted as well.
Destination: donation. I'm sure there is a small business out there that might need them. Or maybe Jody could do something fun with them??
Comment: As you can see this one is still wrapped in plastic. I have no clue where I got this but I can yell you I don't need it. I found it in a box in my home office.

EDP Item #48: Heart Rate Monitor Watch




Reason: I have only used this a handful of times.
Destination: Fundraiser
Comment: I purchased this watch with points I get from sales incentives at work. It's a heart rate monitor watch but you have to put 2 fingers on these sensors for 30 seconds to take your pulse. When you are working out that can be somewhat inconvenient depending on the type of activity you are doing.

EDP Item #47: Small Wallet (female)




Reason: I didn't even remember I had this. Last time I used it was probably over 5 years ago.
Destination: Fundraiser
Comment: It's cute but yet another unneeded item.

EDP Item #46: Photo album and picture frame




Reason: I have not used either of these items. I think I got them as a gift and don't have enough printed pictures to fill them up.
Destination: Fundraiser
Comment: We have pictures on our phones and computer. Trying to find pictures to print can be time consuming and frustrating. These items are not needed since it takes up too much time to find something that goes in them.

EDP Item #45: D'S Lite along with 5 games







Reason: got this as a gift some years ago. It really sits around and gets no use. As cool of an item it is we just don't have spare time to invest in making the DS feel loved. Just don't need it. DS is looking for a good home though.
Destination: in search of a home. Trying to avoid selling it movie trading company for pennies on the dollar. Another fund raising item.
Comment: we are taking offers. Any takers?

EDP Items #43 & 44: matching oven and microwave








Yes, we have had appliances sitting around in our garage for 6 months like weirdos. Yes, we replaced our perfectly good appliances with "better" ones. And NO, we don't feel remorse because we came up with really good reasons to "justify" our purchase. One of which includes what we in America would call an "Insane Deal!"
Reason: just told you... ;)
Destination: found a good home at my brothers fixer-upper house. They are excited about these babies. They picked them up on Saturday.
Comment: Carrie can bake some serious cupcakes in the new convection oven. Yep there it is,.. Another justification to have new shiny things. We have really enjoyed the new appliances over the last 6 months though.
