Learn about Singles Day

Singles Day is a Chinese holiday observed every year on November 11th. The day was created to celebrate being single.

The gender disparity has helped to create a culture of bachelors in China. Some of these bachelors chose to embrace singlehood and hence, Singles Day was created. Since Singles Day was created by men, it is also referred to as Bachelors Day. Today, however, both men and women celebrate the day.

HOW TO OBSERVE #SINGLES DAY

Besides shopping, people in China celebrate Singles Day in other ways. Many singles organize blind date parties in order to meet other singles. Universities organize special programs and activities. Chinese celebrities come out in full force with concerts and special performances. Some people even celebrate this day by expressing their desire to find a partner or spouse. Still others choose to get married on this day. In 2011, 4,000 couples in Beijing tied the knot on Singles Day. Here are some other ways to participate :

•Host a singles-only party in your home
•Do fun activities with other singles like bowling, going to the movies, or eating out
•Express your thoughts about being single in a poem, blog post, or essay
•Celebrate the day by going shopping
•Watch one of these movies about being single
•If you’re not single but know someone who is, buy them coffee or take them out for lunch

4 Steps To Clean Out Your Cluttered Closet

1. Take inventory

The first step in your closet clean-out is to completely empty it. Remove everything, including clothes, hangers and shoes and plop it on your bed or floor. Don’t forget to grab items from shelves, bins and drawers, too. 

2. Grab some bags

Next, you’re going to need to grab some trash bags, a marker and some tape. Put a strip of tape on the first bag and write on it with the marker “trash.” On the second bag, place a strip of tape on it and label that bag “donate.”

3. Set rules for what goes back in

Start sorting with these rules in mind:

•If you haven’t worn it in a year and it’s still in good condition, it goes in the charity bag.
•If it has holes, worn-out elastic or rips that can’t be repaired, throw it in the trash bag.
•If it needs a button or has a hole you or a tailor can easily fix (and you vow to actually fix it) put the item in the repair pile.
•If it’s not your style, it goes in the charity bag.
•If it’s fantastic, you love it and you wear it, put it in the keep pile.
•If it has stains put it in the repair pile and try these tricks to remove spots.
•If it doesn’t fit, donate it.

4. Finish up

Your closet cleaning journey is almost over. Now you just need to put everything from the keep pile back in your closet.

For the rest, it’s important you get deal with them right away. Taking action will prevent those items from taking up space and potentially making their way back into your closet.  

Finally, put the trash bag in your bin right away. Drive the charity bag to your local drop-off point right away. No waiting!
