Ramadan clean up part one

Right. Where do I begin?

I almost just want to write jkhsdklfhasdlkgj;aksjfgjlhadfgkj.

Because that's how I felt Friday morning when I realised that I had to sort through A) my sock drawer which was actually refusing to stay shut due to the sheer quantity of tights/footsies/stockings/plain-old-socks. B) my make-up drawer that was full of broken bronzers and spilt highlighters C) dum dum duuuuuum: Shoes.

However I said I would do it and that's just what I did. While fasting. Without a drop of coffee or carbs.

ARTICLE A: Sock drawer before and after:


Socks now have their own drawer



ARTICLE B: Make-up before and after:




ARTICLE C: Shoe closet before and after- not a massive difference but I managed to get rid of some and fit all of them in! (There's more in the other room :-S)


I came across the first issue of M magazine I'd read (far left, below) which made me sure that I wanted to work for The National- the shoot inside was modeled by Lindsey Wixson so it makes sense.



I also found a folder (that I don't remember designing) filled with magazine cut outs and editorials that I collected when I was in school. How did I not know that I wanted to be in this business earlier?!?

It's that time of the year again. The big 'R'

Hey! It's been a while- sorry for flaking out on the handful (3 that I know of) who read this blog...

For those of you that don't live in the Arab world, it's nearly Ramadan! A holy month for Muslims where we fast from sunrise to sunset to understand the pain and suffering that those who cannot find food or water go through.

For those of you that do, I'm sure the insane ads for Tang, Vimto, rice and TV series make sure that you are aware of it's looming presence. Visual aids below:








For the first time in a long time I am super excited for Ramadan. Why starving myself for 15 hours, completely changing my daily routine and constantly feeling dehydrated excites me I can't quite say- but it does!

My mission this year is to go through every cupboard, box and chest of drawers that I have. All 13 of them! And give away all that unnecessary extra stuff to people that actually need it, all in the spirit of Ramadan.

How?

It's really not rocket science, I plan on dividing the 13 storage spaces over the 4 weekends of Ramadan (and by posting this online I'm just going to Have to do it!)... So expect to see the good (things I'm keeping), the bad (embarrassing things that smart people would NOT share with strangers- neon boleros/mules and general 'why on earth did I buy that?!' things) and a whole new me!

Yeah right :p

Until the weekend!
