Hair toy Hoarder Minimalist Challenge...oh my!!

**Quasiquixotic** · February 14th, 2015, 06:34 AM

Okay, between now and March 1st I will pick 10 and only 10 toys to wear for the month of March. I can only wear those 10 toys. I will box away the rest and put them in my closet.

I have intentionally limited the time we have to select, in the hopes the deadline forces us to choose. I also hope that this challenge starts really hard and then gets easier as time moves on.

I also want this to go on for a full month to really live in and explore the capibilities of a limited hair toy wardrobe.

rules:

one toy is a fork, stick, pair, Ficcare, flexi, change a bead, etc etc. if you would wear it that way, it's one toy.

i am waiting on the arrival of some toys and they might not come until into March. If I want to include them in my 10, I can, but they take up a space in my 10 and I am then short a toy or so until it arrives.

You will post a photo of the ten toys on or before March 1st. And you must give your thoughts on the challenge and any updates and your thoughts at the end.

anyone want to join me? Anyone can join, but I'm hoping those who feel like 10 toys is a huge stretch/impossible will do so.

My hope is by falsely constraining myself to 10, I can more easily destash to 50 (or 100 or something less).

I'm thinking:

LI
TT
Graydog
Graydog pair
3 tusks
3 Ficcare

ETA: Nope, I've already changed my mind...

I've no IDEA how I would choose only ten! Aaargh. I'd like to try, but.....wow. Yeah. Hard.

I'm thinking about it.

ETA: I don't think it would make it a bit easier for me to destash though. As my hair grows I need different toys. Sometimes it refuses to hold with sticks for example, and forks work great. Then later sticks work again= but only Ketylos. Etc. Etc.

I had to replace my entire hair wardrobe it's like a paper cut. It stings at first but once you come to terms with it you're fine.

It's ten toys for fourteen days? It s not "that" hard

I would join but I am in the other challenge thread, WEO for now.... Getting scared at how many toys I have and I need to de stash too!

Cool idea Quasi! If the challemge picks up,I'm the following months, when I am done witnWEO, I come here too! Wil view it anyway for,sure !

The idea of this thread is tempting. There are things I have that I so rarely wear and could destash...with just a little push.

Choosing 10 Ficcare, though, seems silly. Ten of the same hairtoy, because it's all I wear to work. I guess I could throw a pair of sticks and a fork in there for weekend wear. Would the little copper pin I wear flor sleeping count?

No, it's ten toys for the entire month of March. You have until March 1st to choose which ten.

Izzie, if you, me and Quasi all de-stashed - oh my!! The swap board would be swamped!

Adiro, we are picking 10 toys for the month of March. The whole month. We have 2 weeks to pick them

Izzy, I think sleep toys can get a pass, as long as that is all you do with it. And I was actually thinking of you when I wrote the rules, I think a pair of Ficcare would count as one for you, since that is how you wear them and you don't wear them alone.

Eta: rags, oh my yes it would. But I don't really want to destash to 10 toys. I just need more confidence that I dont "need" all the things, just because I can have all the things.
