Yesterday was a pretty unusual day for me.. yet somehow it was usual.. you know? Haha. I don't.
I didn't feel too well to go out. I had a million and one errands that involved me going out but I had a temperature and my migraine was pretty bad. I thought of just staying in bed and catching up on some tv shows so I did just that for about an hour or so then I came across this photo on IG from one lady that I follow and who is one pretty sweet lady that I had the opportunity to meet through a dUCk event. She was giving her dUCkscarves a bath and I thought of doing the same! My husband knows how I have just been shoving all my dUCks into the laundry basket for quite some time thinking it would magically clean itself. I have to say I did a good job. *pats self on the back* Thank you @_mutedhues for the idea!
Here's an attempt to be creative. =P

Next, I thought of arranging more stuff to go on my other IG account where I am selling my preloved items. I finally went ahead and put some dUCkscarves that I have never worn and maybe never wear up for sale. So far, I have decided to part with three. THREE. Hahaha. It's ok Liyana. You're making room for some more. When I told my husband when he came home from work, he said "Why? Are you sure? Don't sell things that you love la.." he knows me too well. But I was pretty adamant. So up on IG it went. Still waiting for anyone who takes interest in them.
When I sat and looked at all the stuff that I am getting rid of, I got pretty sad. Not sad about letting go but sad thinking of how I have accumulated all these stuff in such short time without even batting an eyelash when buying them. Some of the make-up items are just extras.. extras! Who buys two extras each of the same shade of eyebrow gels & lipsticks? Me, that's who. No wonder I get broke easily! Hahaha!
I know there's an underlying problem here though. If you ask an expert, he/she will probably say "You are trying to fill up an emptiness inside and think that buying all these things will make you happier. It doesn't". I feel like Rebecca Bloomwood but thank goodness without that massive credit card debt. She's one of the reasons that inspired me to sell off most of my stuff. Look at me getting inspirations from a fictional character! Sad, Liyana.. Really sad!
After spending quite some time feeling sorry for myself, I went ahead and deleted most of my photos on my phone. 17,000+! How? Almost 2000 were of my cats! *Pull up crazycatlady quotes!* I take photos EVERYDAY! But it actually helps me though whenever I try to update my planner. "What did I do on the 5th of January? Ah yes.... took 70 photos of the cats!" I kid! Maybe. This actually got me to update my planner and fill in details of the happenings on all those dates.
I have three different planners for this year. One is a very cheap one I got from Kinokuniya; a weekly planner that has a vertical layout. I basically fill this up with my day to day activities and I use it to track my daily spending.
Another one is my dUCk planner I purchased late last year. While waiting for the weekly planner inserts, I just fill up the monthly planner for now.
And lastly, my Happy Planner that one of my besties got for me as a new year's present. Thank you, Siti! <3 I am yet to fill it up with all these ideas I have in mind. I have ordered some planner stickers from etsy and I can't wait for it to arrive!
Anywhu, I am about to start my day now! Heading to poslaju this morning to post out some of the stuff that I have managed to sell through Carousell and IG. Will update more later, in shaa Allah!
Good morning & good night wherever you are <3
