The Art of Being Clean.

Really, what we're going to talk about is the opposite of the Art of being clean.

I've been cooking at home to save money, which is great and making a huge impact on my finances.
When I cook I make dirty dishes. Then I put them in the sink to come back to later. Lunch rolls around and I have to wash the dishes to make food. After I make food the dishes are back. Then I go on a cleaning rampage and leave for work. That's when the roommate cooks and the sink is full again.

The garbage fills up. Our dumpster is all the way down in the garage. I put the garbage outside our door to take it down when I'm leaving the house. I pack up my stuff to get to work and I walk out the door with my hands full of books, lunch, and training equipment. That's when I see the bag of garbage I left there earlier. I say to myself "I'll get it when I come back." A few hours later I come back from work, exhausted, with my hands full of groceries. I see the garbage bag again "oops forgot about that, I'll get it when I go to work." Obviously, something is NOT working.

Lets talk about laundry, really, lets talk about LAUNDRY. So I have a ton of lululemon right? Its great. I have black, blue, pink, yeah a ton of pink. I have pants, crops, shorts, and even a few running skirts. I have tank tops, t-shirts, and some hoodies. I love having everything to choose from nicely hung up on wooden hangers in my closet. I also wear my lululemon when I train, when I teach, when I work at lululemon and occasionally when I date :-). What I'm getting at, is that as soon as everything is clean and hung up, I have to find an outfit to wear and a tornado hits! Before I know it the day is done and I've gone through 3 different outfits, one for teaching, one for workout out in, and one for working in.

People, this is what is called the vicious cycle. Think about it, something doesn't work.
