Now, Toss These:
1. Expired vitamins. New year, new you — start out with fresh supplements.
2. Old mascara, foundation, and concealer. These things expire, too! If the consistency, color, or smell has changed, toss it.
3. Low-rise denim. We feel confident that those nearly-butt-baring jeans won't be resurfacing anytime soon.
4. Super-teeny cross-body bags. Because, really, what can you store in that thing, anyway?
5. Old greeting cards. Only keep what you love, not what you feel obligated to save.
6. CDs and DVDs. Jump into 2012 headfirst and store your multimedia collection on a hard drive or online.
7. Old magazines. If you're really attached to certain editorials, try clipping them out and keeping all your inspiration in one place, like a pretty scrapbook or a sleek binder.
8. Stretched-out hair elastics. Give up on them before they give out on you.
9. Almost-empty bath products. Make a conscious effort to blow through those bottles with only a little product left in them, instead of letting them linger (and multiply!) in your shower.
10. Extra kitchen supplies. Do you really need all those dishes, place settings, silverware, and kitchen gizmos? Try paring down to the essentials and donate the overflow.
