Stuck in a wardrobe rut? We’ve been there. But before you go on a wild shopping spree because you have “nothing to wear,” take a long, deep breath. There’s a good chance your closet is frustrating you because you haven’t given it some much-needed attention in a while.

Now think of the last batch of items you donated. Think of the stories behind each of those items. Many of them were likely impulse buys. You thought you had to have them, and now you literally just dropped them off in trash bags at a thrift store.

If the words, “How am I supposed to wear this?” come out of my mouth, I just don’t buy it. And that’s the case for a lot of sheer, backless tops. They won’t support a bra of any kind, and yet, they show my nipples as bright as day.

If your partner has an over-spending problem, you can help her with that by tagging along on the shopping trip. Budgeting together makes you a stronger couple. And you can talk some sense into your partner about that $200 sweater.

If you’re still using a manual toothbrush, then it’s time to move up to the modern age. Electric toothbrushes can move so much faster than your hand ever possibly could. That results in removing more plaque, which results in fewer cavities, which means fewer (expensive) fillings.
