Today I want to talk about decanting! It is everywhere currently on social media. If there is a jar available and some pantry item or laundry item it will be decanted and then labelled. There is a time and a place for decanting, and I discuss when it is a good idea to decant and when it is a waste of time and money. To listen to my thoughts on decanting, press play. Let me know how you feel about...

Repatriation can be hard in any given situation. It is even harder when you are forced to leave your expat country to go back to your home country after being a student. I have had a few clients who have been in this situation especially recently, so thought it would be a good time to discuss how to deal with your stuff before and after your move back home.

I have recently returned back from my holiday in London and didn't shop till I dropped like I normally did.

Have a listen and leave a comment with your thoughts on the fast fashion situation currently. Are you pr...

I recently decided to renovate my bathroom. This was my first renovation project and it was not an easy process.

Hope you find this episode helpful. If you loved it, please do me a...

Exciting topic this week... Tupperware! aka containers with lids which we use to store mostly food.

Have a listen and let us know how you organise your tupperware. Hope you enjoy this episode. If you do, please share your love by l...

This week my guest is Anne Welsh from Tidy Beginnings. Anne has been a professional librarian for nearly 30 years, specializing in cataloguing, including creating inventories for estates, so I thought it would be a great to talk to Anne about the work she does and how she helps her clients. Anne mentioned a few booksellers which are a great resource to research more about the listing price of your...

If you didn't know, Chirag (my co-host extradionnaire) is vegan and has been for a few years now. I remember when he told me he was changing his lifestyle to be vegan and all the changes that had to occur to get into this lifestyle.

A few weeks ago we discussed how to organise and declutter your music collection (have a listen here if you missed it). During that conversation, Chirag had mentioned how I should join the rest of the world and subscribe to a music subscription service. I have loved my own song catalogue and playlists for all these years, so I was trepidatious to move onto a subscription service (I had tried them...

Kids and adults love dressing up - whether it is for Halloween, a retro party or an afternoon of fun with friends, it’s always fun to dress up. I used to dress up like Wonder Woman and a Nurse when I was growing up. There was a limit to the costumes in the 80s but now it is so easy to get them online and in stores. You can be every Marvel or DC character every day of the week, it is that easy. Dre...

After getting excited about recording in the morning, we decided to delve straight into men and their hobbies. From Lego, electronics, painting cars and figurines to board games. A lot of it maybe due to the lockdown during 2020 or it's a generational thing (I think it is more the latter), but guys are getting into these hobbies and creating a lot of clutter in their homes. I have organised a lot...
