Spring cleaning is always an essential during these months of the year. The weather is warmer, the sun is shining, and you feel more motivated to get things done and check off your list. You can throw these items away, donate them, or give them to someone you know will appreciate them more than you. Here I have compiled a list of 12 items that you really should say goodbye to during this spring cleaning season!

1. Old nail polish

You definitely do not need 10 shades of pink just chilling in your collection. Time to say goodbye!

2. Clothes you did not wear this winter

We all have expectations of wearing certain clothes during the winter, but some always manage to get stored in the back! Be ruthless, you probably won't wear it again. Donate them to someone who can make real use out of them! Also, this is a great time to go through your undergarments and see which pairs of underwear you really need to say goodbye to!

3. Old mugs or traveling water bottles

Let's face it. We don't need 20 mugs and 15 water bottles. Time to empty the space in your cabinets!

4. Samples samples samples

I am really bad with this. I always buy the travel sizes of makeup or snag the samples of lotion. We all don't need them and if we did, we would purchase the larger size! Goodbye!

5. Condiments packets

Sauces, tea bags, coffees, anything! Why must I take ten packets of duck sauce when I know I will only need one or two? Throw those bad boys in the trash already!

6. That Halloween candy

We all know you still have some extra Halloween candy just chilling in the pantry. I think it's time to get rid of it!

7. Makeup

Whether you find yourself not reaching for it or it has seen better days, get rid of some of that old makeup that you don't need! You can also give your family and friends some of the makeup you don't use!

8. Pictures and apps on your phone

I don't know why I feel the need to keep so many pictures, messages, and apps on my phone. If you can't part with messages, set it up on your Mac computer! If you can't part with pictures, upload them then delete them off your phone! If you can't part with apps, keep track of the ones you use and the ones you don't!

9. Old and insignificant items

Let me go more into depth here, do you really need that stuffed animal you won at the carnival in 7th grade? I highly doubt it. Items like these that hold no real significance can really take up a lot of space. Time to say bye bye!

10. Old writing implements

I never know why this happens, but I always try to use a pen that is almost out of ink, a pencil that is way too small, or an eraser that has seen better days. Just throw them away!

11. The people that don't care about you

Spring cleaning doesn't always mean throwing away or donating items, you can say goodbye to those who have wronged you these past few months as well. See ya never!

12. All of those t-shirts

Why do I always find myself drowning in t-shirts? We really need to figure out a way to narrow these things down...

Good luck and happy cleaning!
