I spent some time tidying my bedroom on the weekend. Many things have piled up over the past couple months and I desperately need to declutter. I don’t know about you, but when my space is cluttered and messy my brain follows suit. Clearing things out of my room will help clear the chaos in my mind as well.

You’d be surprised how much clutter you can hide simply by closing a door or a drawer. I’m looking at you kitchen junk drawer! Turns out, I had one of those junk drawers in my bedroom, in my bedside table.

How much “junk” do you think one can fit in an 11.5 x 14.5 x 4.5 drawer? Apparently a whole hell of a lot. Below is a list of what I pulled out of said drawer. Needless to say, it did not all go back in.

2 glass dildos
Eye mask

All of that. In one little drawer. I had a shower and a nap after I finished. There is a second drawer I didn’t even get to. Maybe I will do that one this weekend. Spring cleaning is going to take forever if I can only do one drawer a day, on my days off.

On the plus side, I no longer have an old remote (for a portable air conditioner I sold back in 2014) stuck to the bottom of the drawer and I found my (expired) birth control! Lol…

What mysteries are hiding in your drawers?
