Throwing out trash!

we all have trash in our lives....
it can be some garbage thoughts..some old, uncool jacket that we once thought was awesome enough, to buy!
I in this case have produced, what seems like hundreds of bags of trash....ha ha ha....things I thought were treasures, things I saved because I was going to make something marvelous out of it....
and sometimes it just takes a little help from someone to encourage you to set yourself free from the garbage...that is weighing is down...

I feel lighter than an empty lipgloss tube.....ha ha ha

But that is how life is....our garbage thoughts, and the garbage thoughts that we've let others put into our little, precious minds....starts cluttering up the place, and soon, we have more garbage that, sweet room for thoughts of our dreams and beauty in our minds!

Time to get out the dumpsters, trash bags, and boxes, and load up all those hopeless thoughts, the harsh words you've heard from others, the trash thoughts of "I can't do-it-ness", "I'm never going to find someone to love", "I'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life", "I don't have what it takes", "I don't look how I wish I could look", "Nothing ever works out for me"....
NOPE! NO! NO MAS!!!...all that is trash talk...and it's goin where it belongs....GARBAGE TOWN!!!

Let's decorate our new spacious minds...cleared of all trash-talk....
and fill it with words of hope, excitement for our futures, and pure, I-can-do-it-ness!!!

DAILY LOVE MISSION:  (come join us in doing this today!)
*ask someone what their dream is, and tell them, you're excited for them and that you know they can do it!
*tell yourself, I have an awesome future...and I'm going to have so much fun today, that people are going to want to be a part of whatever I'm doing!
*When I love my life, and I make things fun, someone is going to come into my life and want to join the fun!
*tell yourself, I am going to decorate my mind with happy, hopeful thoughts....

Some people are just alive, they aren't living...
let's get out there today and LIVE!!!

smile, dance, laugh, and treat yourself to some small treasure....
today my small treat was a chocolate sprinkled donut for breakfast...(hee hee hee....haven't had one in ages, and it tasted delishy! On Sunday I usually splurge from my healthier way of eating...and this was it, baby!

huge love, and I have some exciting news for New Yorkers....stay tuned or stay blogged...ha hah a

huge love....and LIVE it up today precious!!!!! xo kandee

I pray that God blesses you in EVERY single way possible, and he makes every one of your dreams come true!! We all love you with all of our hearts!!!! Let's start LIVIN'! :)

Unknown said...

You know what, that is really good to do, as, I was reading the post it really brought up some hard feelings to deal with about my inner talk the thoughts I think about myself and how, I may feel stuck in a box not able to change them but you are so right, Thank you , I need to get out those trash thoughts and make room for loving ones.

A. H said...

you know what at this point of time after reading your blog i wanna live my life

i wanna build hope, i wanna tell myself that things gonna be all-okay, i'll find love, i'll find the beauty of living my life.

Those trashy thoughts that i carried for the longest time somehow refused to leave me alone. :( it's gonna be hard but what's there to lose, i'll give it a try. :)

thanks Kandee!

Kandee, I have been reading your blog for a week now and I must say I am so happy I found it. Somehow you always know exactly what to say, everytime I read a new post from you it seems like it was written just for me. That is awesome.
I just wanted to tell you thank you, and that I think you are amazing and that I love what you do, your blog and your videos.:-))
You have a beautiful spirit and soul and you are beautiful all around!
Much love, Sarah

I took this approach a year ago of "taking out the trash", I got rid of anything that was bringing me down or holding me back be it people or my image and clothing. I found when I did really amazing things happened in my life. By me being more positive I attracted postive people and now have been drama free for a year, so yeah I would say take out the trash today, you'll be astounded at the results...Love You Kandee <3

Tina White said...

How funny you posted this because I emailed you about something similar! Thanks :)

niea999 said...

hey hi ^^
a happy text again. thank you ❤

Today I made some 'shoulders decorations' (excuse my english, again..) as black sequin ribbons.
That was my little treasure of the day, haha ^^
As soon as it will be so warm enough to change my actual coat for another, I will put them. On my vest or maybe my tee.. will see ^___^

Have a wonderful day, Kandee, and girls !!


I put a picture of the ribbons here, on my blog :

Hello Kandee from Singapore,

Yea... sometimes we need to get rid of trashes in order to improve life.. True. I do that all the time when I feel I am being weighed down by certain stuffs (physically and mentally).. After getting rid of it, I felt much better..

Till today I am still doing..

Take care Kandee..

Misty said...

Your awesome I have to say. I have tried to watch other videos about makeup whatever.... auuuugghhh i have to have my Kandee!!! I love you babe. My husband says if you were a man he would be jealous. My three boys love you too!! My 15 yr old sat here one night watching all your character vids, you are the new lines we quote, your soooo funny. My 8 yr old wanted to know if Kandee did a vid on how to look like Hanna Montana cause he wanted to dress up like a girl for opposite day at his school. I love that I can let my children watch your videos and I dont have to worry about content like I dont so many other things. My 6 month old love to watch too. Anyway sunshine and sparkles is what I hope for you today. If I could hug you I would :0)

What is YOUR dream, Kandee?? You're so wonderful and always thinking of others - I think your Love Mission today should be to love yourself and to treat yourself to a day full of Things-You've-Always-Wanted-To-Do-But-Don't-Have-The-Time-For!! =)
Take care, Kandee!! <3

You make me so happy, Kandee! Thank you for lifting me up each and every time I read your blog. Today is the day I'm going to truly start living my life. Sending you lots of hugs!

Cheris said...

You have SUCH a wonderful spirit Kandee! Thank you for being YOU.. and inspiring us ALL to be positive in our self talk. Because THAT is really what controls our actions and WE can choose which voice to listen to :-)

sarah said...

awesome as usual....I really love that you are doing SOMETHING.... girls look up to you and you are inspiring us to be better! I started following your blog and watching your videos, and you have influenced so many woman, and the proof is in the comments.

Not enough people try to make a difference in the world, they think that dong little things isnt enough, or that they as just "one person" could never change the world, but you are proving them wrong...all that has to happen is, one girl reads, she's inspired, she spreads the love, then the next and the next and the next...its a pay it forward effect, and its starting with you on this blog!

I can't help but just smile while I'm reading and watching, because you darlin' are amazing, you glow from the inside out and your beautiful happy personality just oozes from you while you talk lol Can't help but be happy while I read! You have such a gift and thank you for using it to help others!

And of course, thank you for the makeup tips, those are always helpful too ;)

Hails said...

Kandee, you're grand! I love everything about you,my treat is waking up and reading your blog with my daughter over breakfast! Latley ive been dealing with situations with "what would Kandee do"! You truly are an inspiration. My idol always! Much love Kandee keep doing exactally what you're doing! xxx

Unknown said...

Throwing out trash is liberating. It's good for our soul and other things. Sometimes that trash is a certain person, unfortunately, that sounds rude but it's true. YOU have to make youself happy and like you've said before, you need to surround yourself with good people who push you to be better and support you 110% :) and like I'VE said so many times before, we need more people like YOU in this world! :) *hugs*

You always seem to know exactly what to say! Thanks for such inspiring words, they really help me out!

Also, this is sort of random but there's a song I think you might like, it puts me in a great mood instantly and it might work for you too, it's called "Magic" by Mozella.

Happy Sunday!

So true, i've been doing this today. Sorting out my daughters room and alot of my clothes. I feel so much better for doing it. Mentally too. Your blog is always so positive,you raise my spirits. Your awsome. good luck with your move.

Unknown said...

Hi Kandee,

Just wanted to say that you are so talented! I just wrote a post about your great videos and make-up skills on my blog at www.AbsolutelyDelightful.com.

Keep those great tutorials coming! Thanks!!!!

TJ said...

Yes, hopeless thoughts need to be thrown out with the trash but not the uncool jackets. Uncool jackets dream of a better future as well: they long to be upcycled into something new and cool. Like pot holders, if pot holders can ever be considered "cool". Right? :D

Yours Truely, Elisa said...

Hey Kandee,
I see how your make up is always soo beatuiful!
Well I am indeed of serious new make up.
My budget is $300.00 Any Suggestions!
I love all your videos! :)
thanks!

Kandee, I am new to reading your blog but I've been watching some of your Youtube videos, and I just want to say thank you for brightening my day with your joyfulness and smiles. As well, you've inspired me to get back to using my self control in what I eat, because the road I'm heading down now is not a healthy one, and you've encouraged me to start taking much better care of my skin than I have been. Thanks! I hope that you have an amazing week!!!

I used to love reading your posts on adventuresinkandeeland blog (and may have even commented once before)... and it looks as though its gone or you have to be invited... if its still ongoing, please invite- you are such an inspiration in motherhood!!

Darcey said...

Hi Kandee! I love your blog and facebook...it truly gives me a smile everyday you post. Your tutorials are also always so amazing!!!! I saw someone put a stunning Leona Lewis pic on your facebook fan page and I would love to see that look and the look on her album cover ECHO, it has bold red lips and golden eyes. Both are so beautiful could you please do them both!!!! It gives a hard working teacher some much needed adult, girl time (that almost sounded naughty, but absolutely not meant that way!) Back to grading papers and thank you for all you give to the people that follow you! :)

could you do a post about makeup brushes? what we should look for? whats the diff b/w synthetic and natural? how the hairs should be cut so they don't irritate pores? your fav brands? etc?

I love getting rid of old stuff. It is such a huge weight thrown off your shoulders. It's exciting to bring all new things into your life so I definitely believe in giving/throwing away what is old because to someone it may be their own new and exciting thing :) Love you Kandee thanks for being you love :)

Kandee i wish i had your motivation with food and being healthy! Generally i am but sometimes my sweet tooth gets the better of me :( Good advice though!

leily said...

Hi dear Kandee!

I must admit that there must be an invisible link between me and you because everytime I have a problem you find exactly the right words to cheer me up. Nowadays, I have some problems with my ex husband and I'm about to get divorced so it's really hard for me and I 've had a lot of doubts about my future " will I be able to meet someone else?" etc and you made me realize that I must get rid of all this garbage, once for all! Thank you so so so much Kandee! MERCI BEAUCOUP MA CHERIE.

Dear Kandee, I'm a depressed person. Today was a reeeeeally boring and sad, full of crying, sitty day. So I read your post. :) (I confess that I read it a lot of times. :) You make me feel so fresh and new. I really wanted to thank you for always being so excited, and smiling, and energizing, and happy, and cool (ok, the list goes on and on).
You make a huge difference in my life, even though I don't know you personally. And I really care about you. :) You always put a smile on my face.

With love, Carolina.

How about a date Kandee?

Charity said...

It's strange how garbage sometimes takes the form of things other ppl in your life want from you. Although most of the time they are crossing a lot of boundaries to ask those things, everyone forgets and expects things of others that isn't really for them to decide.

Right now I'm doing such time consumingly silly things that everyone else does while I really need to go in another direction. I am slicing large parts of my life and tossing it all into garbage bags just so that the people around me who don't believe in individualism can feel a bit better. I am so tired pushing my life back when I know what I need and what I have to do. And it is hard when I don't have a family who backs me up and has as much faith in me as some other families do.

J said...

i'm not quite sure you will ever understand just how lovely you are. :) i was very down in the dumps today and you made it a lil better. thanks!

You're a very amazing woman. But I know you hear that a lot, doesn't make it any less true though. Thanks for finding a way to cheer me up without even knowing me.

finding your uplifting posts very helpful recently. I always know I can get a burst of positive energy coming to your blog. Keep doin' what you do girl...and know you're helping at least me daily. Thanks :)

Miz Rock said...

thanks Kandee :)

I cannot get onto your 'adventures in Kandeeland blog anymore tho :( have you stopped it?

Pa+anda said...

As I read this and snacked on Chex Mix...it gave me a boost. I have a website where I create comics...I started to feel very lazy and having that "I can't do this" emotion when realizing I was getting behind in my work since I just started school again. Thanks Kandee. I really needed that.

ACane said...

I have never blogged before or written any comments on blogs. But I wanted to do this because I want you, Kandee, to know how much I love your videos and pictures. Watching your videos on youtube of how to put on make up and how to just feel pretty and girly has really lifted my spirits. I have had a really tough year and I lost all self confidence and didn't feel like I even cared to take care of myself anymore. But your videos and advice has rejuvenated me. I want to go out and do fun things and I want to make myself feel pretty again. And it's because of you! Thank you so much for everything. Keep the videos going. It means a lot of us. :)

Unknown said...

I was looking at movie previews on youtube the other night and your video "how to do a smokey eye look" popped up and caught my eye and I thought you were really sweet PLUS i used a few of your tips :) but I love your optimism, I'm definitely a new fan and will continue to be checking your blog out in my free time. I was having a pretty lousy day today and this made me feel soooo much better! You seem like an awesome person, thanks! :)

HaleysMom said...

Thanks! This is exactly what I needed to read this morning. I'm at a very transitional point in my life, and have needed to rid myself of "garbage" of all sorts. In fact, I was putting off getting started by reading this blog my daughter sent me. Time to get it done!
