Start over fresh in 2021 by saying Goodbye to these items!

The moment we've been waiting for is approaching and let's just say, we definitely want to start over fresh in 2021 with new habits and goals. I think the best way to start off fresh is by getting rid of the old in 2020 to make room for the finer things in life. Below are just a few reasons to leave 2020 in the dust...

From Pittsburgh's Action News 4:

Do you hear that? It's the sound of one huge, collective sigh of relief now that 2020 is finally coming to an end. As most of us hunker down for a quieter-than-usual week between Christmas and New Year's, now's the perfect time to clear our homes of the clutter that's holding us back. Even if you've already stress-organized every room in your house, there's a chance you missed a few items that should probably go before the new year begins. So, while you prepare to usher out this nightmarish year, here are some items to consider tossing along with it:
Sad, tired pillows
According to experts atTempur-Pedic,pillows should be replaced after1-2 years. If you've had the same one on your bed for a while now, it's probably time to invest in a new one. If you don't want to throw yours out, check in with yourlocal animal shelterand see if they accept used pillows to put in their crates.
Half-burned candles
Everyone has a cabinet full of candles they liked for a while, then forgot about. It's time to make room for all those newholiday candlesyou've acquired in the last two moths. If you're looking to upcycle the jars, you can carefully melt the wax downin the microwaveand pour it into a jar you're okay with tossing.
Old winter clothes and accessories
There's a good chance you came across a bin full of clothing and accessories from past winters that have gone untouched for years. Now's the time to donate it all. However, before you head out with boxes and bins in tow, be sure to check in with your location donation center to see how their hours or accepted items list may have been affected by the pandemic.
Mismatched hangers
Once you've cleared your closets of old coats and clothes, you'll probably find you've collected a random assortment of mismatched clothing hangers over the years. Holding onto hangers of different sizes, shapes and colors will keep your closet looking and feeling unkempt. Throw away or donate any hangers that don't match, and treat yourself to a new pack if you have extra items to hang up.
Random food in the pantry and fridge
Speaking of donating, if you have any boxed or canned food that you didn't end up using over the holidays, donate it to your local food pantry. And of course, check the back of the fridge for anything that'sexpired.
Expired products
After you've checked the fridge, head to your bathroom and check the dates on every box and bottle. From shampoo and makeup to ointments and medicine, there's really no reason to hang onto personal care products once they've expired.

If you have had any of these in 2020, it's definitely worth taking a look at to start over in 2021... I'm not asking for you to throw away things you use or value. It just might be a good start to seeing 2021 coming in full swing ahead...
