H&M’s Spring Collection Is Rocking the #Millennial Pink Trend

Fine China

Dishes that you can't just toss in the dishwasher? Nope. These are likely to sit in some drawer, never to be used. Maybe your kids or grandkids will use a teacup as a jewelry holder or upcycle a few plates at places like Brooklyn Tea Cup, which will turn them into stacking trays. But the whole shebang should probably be donated to an antique shop or someone who really values this sort of collection.

Bulky, Heavy Furniture

My friend Amy inherited a writing desk and together we hauled it up several flights of stairs in our first San Francisco apartment. I'm still traumatized by that event. This kind of furniture doesn't make sense for modern apartment or small space living.

Collectible Figurines

Beanie Babies, Precious Moments, any kind of decorative and not-at-all-useful collection is, well, not wanted (sorry!).

Antique Silverware

Having to polish silver is a thing of the past, and not something anyone today will want to keep up with!

Photo Albums

Kids will love the memories, but they’d rather have a digital version. You can convert the photo collection to digital, and then just frame a few treasured shots.

Formal Dining Sets

No one really has a separate “fancy” dining area anymore, and if they did, this set is not likely to make the cut. Unless your child or grandchild is a dedicated DIYer, old furniture like this is often just that — old, not treasured.

Old Electronics

With the ease and convenience of streaming, that vintage VCR or stereo system you're holding onto should head straight to the donation pile.

Dusty Jewelry

Don't get me wrong, there is probably one piece in a collection worth handing down, but if it's lived on a tray collecting dust for 20 years, they’re probably not interested.

Random Holiday Decor

Your kids might keep one sentimental ornament, but not your entire themed collection that will feel dated once they have their own home and tree.

Encyclopedia Sets

Sorry, but we have Google and ChatGPT now. These bulky books are kitschy more than resourceful.

First, here’s how I tackle a good purge:

• Start with small wins: Decluttering an entire space can feel overwhelming, so begin with a single drawer, shelf, or space like your closet.
• Declutter as you go: I keep designated baskets for items I need to donate, sell, or pass along — whether it’s clothes my daughter has outgrown or batteries that need recycling. It’s an ongoing system that makes unloading pretty easy.
• Be intentional about storage: Try not to store things you don't need or really want. If it doesn’t fit in your space or serve a real purpose, consider giving it away or selling it.
• Let go of the guilt: Maybe it was expensive or a gift, but keeping things out of obligation only adds to the stress. Release it with gratitude, knowing someone else can appreciate it more.
• Make extra cash: The best thing about decluttering? You can turn clutter into cash by selling items that are just gathering dust in your space — someone else might actually need them!

1. Anything that doesn’t fit or look good on you

It's widely reported that women typically wear 20 percent of our clothes 80 percent of the time. The same goes for decor, books, and even kitchenware. If you don’t regularly use it, it’s time to let it go. If your clothes are too tight or too loose and can't be repaired, it's time to give them away, donate or sell on marketplaces like ThredUp or Poshmark.

2. Clothes with stains or holes

You can promise to remove stains or stitch up holes for years. If you haven’t already crossed these to-dos off your list, it's time to make room in your closet without them in your life.

3. Trendy pieces you regret buying

Fall victim to fads? We've been there. It's time to lose anything from trends past because even if they return, it will be an elevated version from what you have right now in your closet.

4. Shoes that hurt your feet

No matter how cute they are, shoes that pinch or flip off should definitely be on your Go pile.

5. “Just in case” outfits

I've held onto this black dress for years that I wore to a funeral — just in case I ever needed it again. Thankfully, I never did. But at some point, it turned into a weird superstition: if I gave it away, I'd be inviting another funeral. So I kept it. Now? It doesn’t even fit me anymore. Time to let it go.

6. Duplicates of the same item

Sometimes, you really don’t need five identical white tees. I have a soft spot for cream sweaters — cardigans, crewnecks, vests, you name it. But now, I’ve set a rule: no new additions unless I part with an old favorite first.

7. Clothes that don’t match your current style

If you wouldn't pin it today on your fashion board, then it needs to go.

Items You Haven’t Worn in Over a Year

8. Special occasion dresses you’ll never rewear

I have this red dress that I wore for a Queen of Hearts costume. I held on to it thinking I might do it again, but in reality I always like to think of new creative costumes. Been there, done that, gone!

9. Business suits from a past job or career

Blazer styles change every year and interviews are becoming less formal in many industries. Maybe you work from home now and don't always need to suit up. Time to ditch that old business suit and donate it to orgs like Dress for Success, which gives donated business attire to unemployed and underemployed women.

10. Vacation clothes that only made sense in one place

11. Bridesmaid dresses that aren't versatile

The likelihood of you wearing that traditional bridesmaid or wedding dress again is zilch. Try to sell it or donate it to places like Brides Across America for military brides or Brides for Cause, which donates proceeds to women-focused charities.

12. Freebies from events or work swag

It was fun getting a freebie in the moment, but do you still want to be wearing that 2019 conference tee to bed? Time to toss!

Sentimental But Unused Pieces

13. Old college hoodies or T-shirts you never wear

Say good-bye to your old college days by upgrading your hoodie and t-shirt collection if it's been a while.

14. Gifts that aren’t your style

It’s okay to let bad gifts go. There is someone out there who will love them in the way they should be loved.

15. Clothes from a past relationship

You've moved on, his old t-shirt that reminds you of him probably should too.

16. Stretched-out leggings or see-through workout gear
17. Bras with worn-out straps or underwire poking through
18. Socks with holes or missing pairs
19. Pilling sweaters that have faded and/or lost their shape

20. Handbags you never use
21. Belts that don’t fit or go with anything
22. Jewelry that’s tarnished or broken
23. Scarves you never reach for
24. Hats that aren’t your vibe anymore

25. Wire hangers, dry cleaner bags, and old shopping bags taking up space

If you want a closet that inspires you to get dressed each morning, keeping it clean and organized is key. Wire hangers tend to bend under weight, so consider donating them to your dry cleaner. As for those plastic garment bags, repurpose them to protect surfaces during DIY projects before tossing them. And instead of letting old shopping bags pile up, stash them in your kitchen or car so they’re always handy when you need them. Here are home storage ideas to keep clothes and accessories tidy too!

Drinks On The Rumored Dunkin' Spring Menu

Dunkalatte

The Dunkalatte first came to menus last fall. Per Dunkin', it's "sweet, creamy, and unlike anything else," combining rich espresso with smooth coffee milk for an extra boost. It quickly gained popularity amongst Dunkin' fans, but was seemingly discontinued not even a month after its initial launch.

But now, there's a reason to celebrate – the Dunkin' spring menu rumors say that the Dunkalatte may return on March 5! You'll allegedly be able to order it hot or iced, too.

Pistachio Coffee

It's been a while since Dunkin' served up something pistachio-flavored. Finally, per the menu leak, the Pistachio Coffee could be making its grand debut on March 5. Said to be available hot or iced, it's a simple brewed coffee made with pistachio swirl and cream.

We're super excited to try this Dunkin' pistachio offering since we already adore Starbucks' Pistachio Latte!

Food On The Rumored Dunkin' Spring Menu

NEW! Ham & Cheese Pretzel Sliders

Dunkin's launched several pretzel snacks throughout the years, like the Pretzel Roll Chicken Sandwich, the Pretzel Twist, and the Pretzel Croissant Breakfast Sandwich, but we've never seen anything like these slider-sized bites.

Made with King's Hawaiian pretzel buns, the rumored Ham & Cheese Pretzel Sliders look like an ahh-mazing eat for breakfast and beyond!

Chicken Bacon Croissant Stuffer

The menu leak also speculates that the Chicken Bacon Croissant Stuffer will return to Dunkin' on March 5. Stuffed with the ideal amount of meat and cheese, this snack is a reliable pick-me-up in the morning.

Sweet Black Pepper Snackin' Bacon

The Sweet Black Pepper Snackin' Bacon is also rumored to come back to the Dunkin' spring menu on March 5. These strips feature a pleasant balance of sweet and savory!

More Dunkin' Spring Menu Items – To Drop April 2025!

NEW! Cotton Candy Donut

There's a whole other half of the Dunkin' spring menu that's rumored to drop on April 2! The first item is the all-new Cotton Candy Donut, which appears to be stuffed with some sort of sweet filling and topped with a combo of pink icing and blue sprinkles.

NEW! Blueberry Sprinkled Munchkins

Some Blueberry Sprinkled Munchkins will also allegedly join the Dunkin' spring menu on April 2.

NEW! Spring Munchkins Buckets

Per the menu leak, Dunkin's springtime Munchkins flavors will be available in these adorable buckets. The chain's offered Munchkins Buckets before, most notably around Halloween 2024, where you could carry out a 50-count of donut holes in 'em.
