Virgo Perfectionism and Silly Things that Clog my Chi

I am a Virgo and therefore a Perfectionist.  

Does that mean that I am perfect?  

Far from it!  

It means that I set excessively high performance standards for myself and sometimes it can really hinder my creativity, productivity and clog my chi... 

Here is an example of how my "perfect" tendencies 

held me back last week.  

While I was busy "glittering" everything during the holidays 

I threw some glitter on these cute little houses from the dollar store.  I would like to give credit to the blog 

that I saw it on but it's a blur now.  

If you remember can you give them a 

shout out in the comments please!  

Here is how they looked before.  

I bought about five and still have a few that I can glam up.

Anyway, my idea was to include them 

in my Kitchen Hearth Room winter decor.  

I thought that they would look great in these 

silver lanterns that I have.  

Something about it wasn't quite right.  

I think they were too small for the lanterns 

so I propped them on top of an overturned glass.  

I really liked the "Idea" of it 

but I wasn't thrilled with the overall result.  

But I put them on the table anyway.

They didn't stay there long.  

Miss Beaux came home from school and commented on them.  

She liked them.  

They were already off of the table by then and onto the built ins on either side of the fireplace.  

I told her the story of how they weren't right for the table 

and I put them there to prove my point.  

She liked them on the table she said.  

I put them in the living room 

just so I didn't have to look at them anymore.  

And there they sat until today.  

But seriously, they have been clogging my chi for a week now!  

I keep walking by thinking "I have to fix those silly things!"  

I haven't been as creative or productive 

as I should have been all because of those little houses!  

(I did paint the guest bathroom this weekend though)

But today I fixed them.  

I put them in my Pottery Barn Cloches.

And they look like they belonged there all along.

And I put one in the Living Room.

And one on the Dining Room Buffet.  

And now to get to the million other things that are clogging my chi! 

 How about you?  

What clogs your chi?

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
