Hello my lovelies! If you follow me on Twitter you will know that I have been busy the past couple of weeks decluttering my home. You may not know that me and Daryl live in a 2 bedroom flat. With Keira running round and another on the way we need to make some extra space ASAP!
So I decided that I was going to be totally ruthless with my home and belongings. Donating some to charity, giving some to family and giving some to my sister so she could sell some things at a car boot sale! Either way there are plenty of ways to make sure things go to good homes and I definitely do not want to become a hoarder!
It's a simple task really, although I must admit time consuming! When going through your wardrobe just think, 'when did I last wear this?' or 'when will I be wearing this again?!' Same with shoes. Do you really need 4 pairs of black heels? Do you really want to keep those shoes that you just can't walk in on the off chance you might magically become the master of stilettos?
If you're a mummy, why not tackle the kids room? When was the last time you saw them play with that toy? Do they need 100 McDonalds Happy Meal toys filling up their toy box? Not to mention the wardrobe! How many of you have gone through your childs wardrobe and found clothes that are for children 1 or more sizes smaller?
I personally know a few people that are having financial trouble at the moment and if I can help them out in any way then I will. I just think that if everyone gave away 50% of things that they don't use anymore, obviously you can keep a few things if you love them that much regardless if you use them or not, then charity shops, family members and friends will benefit. Remember 'One mans trash is another mans treasure!'.
So before you go out and decide that its time for some new summer shoes/ clothes, go through what you have a decide what you need/ what you could give away! You'd not only be helping others but when you realise how much more room you have for yourself, you'll be a lot happier. Plus, less stuff = less fuss!
Sorry if this post seems a little bit 'preachy' but I honestly believe in donating and recycling and since I've been on a huge decluttering binge lately I thought I would write about it!
Until next time my lovelies!
