The big wardrobe cleanse
I cleaned out my wardrobe this evening.
It made me emotional to go through my smaller clothes knowing that just a year ago I still wore them. It kind of sucks when you see a size 8 hidden behind your current size 14. I admit, it made me feel really bad and I lashed out at myself for being a “failure” again, but I had to. I had to clear out the clutter and let go of the past. I also had carbs this evening, which definitely didn’t help the pity party either.
Those clothes don’t fit me anymore, so why am I torturing myself with hoarding them? Why am I wasting wardrobe space with painful memories? It’s just clothing that someone else could wear, I don’t need them anymore. I can’t keep them in the hopes that I will one day get back into them, I don’t even like some of the items anymore.
Bottom line is simple, I’m learning that progress means letting go of what no longer serves me and that also means letting go of the stuff “Skinny Cashé” wore. That chick doesn’t live here anymore, but “Healthy Cashé” is moving in, and we need space for her stuff now. Plus, I have so much more wardrobe space now too.
I love hearing from you guys, please leave a comment below if you have been considering a wardrobe cleanse too.

Meditation for Dummies
I recently started the practice of meditation and by recently I mean December of last year. As a complete beginner, I’ve been really fortunate that my husband is familiar with the practice of meditation and holistic living, so he’s been instrumental in helping me learn more about this way of life.
Hard Lessons on Being Kinder
I spent my weekend in Durban for work, where I really went out of my way to be as horrible to myself as possible. No, that isn’t a typo – I was horrible to myself.
Zucchini Leftover Chocolate Loaf Recipe
I’ve always been fortunate in that Riley has never been overly fussy when it comes to veg, but I get that lots of moms aren’t as lucky. The next best thing is to lie to your kids about what they’re eating and here is the perfect recipe for you to do just that.
Learning to Value Yourself
Learning to value yourself is more difficult to master than you might realise and I am constantly reminded of this fact whenever I have a moment alone with my thoughts. I’m determined to make 2018 the year that I love myself more, and here is the latest way I’m doing that.
