Get Organised With DeCluttr Me

We often get questions from clients, followers and listeners on the best way to protect clothes in the closets and drawers. Based on this feedback we thought why not share my favourite tips on how to protect your clothes whether hung or folded in various climates. Let us know your tricks for protecting clothes in the comments section. Thanks as always for listening to the Decluttr Me podcast. Shel...

This week's episode is a discussion about generational differences with keeping stuff in our lives. It is something we have touched upon on several episodes, but we thought we would delve over the "clutter cloud" about why the different generations are keeping or not keeping physical clutter. Let us know your thoughts and add in which generation you are in so we can do a comparison ;). Thanks as a...

I love organising spice! I get very excited when client’s mention they want to organise their kitchens and spices - maybe a bit too gleefully. If you follow me on social media (@decluttrme ;)) you will see pictures of cupboards with spices all organised and labelled - that’s how much I love doing it! Due to the love, I thought it would be great to share how I organise spice jars for my clients and...

This week my guest is Charlotte Hepworth. Charlotte is the owner of Bespoke Home Moves which you have been running for the last few years. Bespoke Home Moves organise the most stress-free moves imaginable in the UK and outside the UK for her clients. I have worked with a few clients over the years to unpack and pack their goods and love doing it, but it is not my core business, so wanted to talk t...

No I have not decluttered my face, but I have finally removed the hyperpigmentation from my face which had been bothering me for a year or so. I had tried various creams and potions and nothing worked, until recently when I went to see a dermatologist. I thought I would share my story and also about decluttering the lotions and potions that took over my life during this time. If you are going thro...

In this new episode we talk about the three piles and also how to declutter these piles so that you use that valuable real estate in your wardrobe for the jeans and clothes you actually wear.

With Ramadan in a few short weeks we are seeing a lot of shops, online and offline, promoting their “Ramadan Collection”. Ramadan has become the new Christmas and there are a huge amount things which are supposedly related to Ramadan to buy. I wanted to talk about this every growing phenomenon and how it can be lead to you gaining more clutter and losing valuable real estate in your home. We menti...

We have had a special request to talk about the Desi Fridge and how to organise it. You may wonder what is a Desi Fridge and how that differs from a normal fridge. If you want to find out, listen to our special 150th episode by pressing play. We refer to the following episodes in this episode [Refrigerator Part 1: The Fridge](http://www.decluttrme.com/blog/2020/01/30/refrigerator-part-i-the-fridge...

I've come across this a few times with clients, and thought it would be a good idea to go over what clutter is really junk, even if it seems usable sometimes. Junk clutter is very real, and we've referred to it when we spoke about the [7 types of clutter](https://www.decluttrme.com/blog/2020/05/06/the-7-types-of-clutter), and it's important to think about what really can be donated versus what is...

This week Chirag did something miraculous! He helped me to remove almost all the apps from my home screen on my phone! Yep I have about 5 apps now on my screen and that is it. I did this decluttering app binge after talking to him during this episode. To find out how he inspired me to declutter my apps from my home screen, press play. Thanks for listening! Always thankful ;) Shelina --------------...

It doesn't matter how much cities talk about being smart, the retailers, especially in this region haven't received the memo and are still handing us receipts. Often they are very long and two (one for the card and the other for all the things we bought of course!). What do you do with the receipts after you have received them? Bin, stuff in your handbag or wallet, throw in the back of the car? If...

I have been buying more and more products that are sustainable and better for the environment recently. Due to this increase in sustainability in my life, I wanted to highlight a few of these products and talk about sustainability generally. We do talk about period panties and cups so if you are queasy hearing about these products, skip around the 2.30 mark to 4.30 (don't skip the episode .... rea...

Store rooms come in many sizes here in the UAE. From small rooms in apartments, to large rooms in villas and warehouses at the back of the garden (true story), I have seen them all and worked on decluttering and organising the store rooms for client’s. In this week’s episode, I wanted to share my top tips to sort out your store room (whatever size it is), and get it organised quickly so you can fi...

This might seem like it will be a heavy episode, but the aim of this week’s episode is to lift the feeling of being overwhelmed. This episode will enable you to understand where you are now, if you are feeling overwhelmed with clutter, and how you can start removing that feeling from your life. If you need help to declutter and organise your home and life, without feeling overwhelmed, click contac...

This week we are talking about bathrooms and how to organise them. I thought we had discussed this before, but to my horror (and after it was pointed out to us by a listener - thank you Shayla), we had only talked about items in the bathroom, but not the actually whole bathroom!! Today that changes, with this new episode. To listen, click play or find Decluttr Me on your favourite podcast player....

Chirag has been very excited recently. He got a new email system called [Hey](http://hey.com/work), and it has changed his life. I have been hearing about it for weeks, so I thought he should let it all out and share it with you. The ethos of the email system - from what I understand - is to reduce the amount of clutter coming into your inbox and moving non essential and spam mail to other folders...

There is another new documentary on Netflix (one day it will be me - inshallah!) by the two guys who call themselves the Minimalists. I thought it would be a series like the Marie Kondo and Home Edit ones, but this is a film (a bit long for me) discussing why people are buying stuff and how to live a minimalist life. As always I have my views on these shows about decluttering and organising, which...

For this weeks episode, I got inspiration from Chirag and his (although he denies it - disorganised) car. I have been in many cars which have been a hot mess of clutter and it does make me angsty. Being in a small confined space with clutter and me being an annoying backseat driver is never a good combination. In this episode, I chat about clutter in cars and how to declutter and organise the spac...

We live in an era of tea and coffee drinkers. There are so many types of both beverages, which means even more boxes, cups, jars, pots, and machines for these drinks to be made. Often I find the cups are in one place, tea bags somewhere else and the coffee machine far, far away. I love creating tea and coffee stations for clients to help them find everything to make a perfect brew quickly. In this...

I bought a new diary for 2021. Yes, it was a bit of a bonkers idea considering how 2020 turned out, but I had a good reason for my purchase. I discuss the bonkers reasoning and also how I decluttered and organised my old diaries and calendars whilst I was briefly home in the UK recently in this new podcast. Hope you enjoy this latest episode. If you do, can you make my new year and leave a review...

Do we really want to talk about this year? Really? Well it was a weird one, but we got onto YouTube because of it and had lots of really cool episodes with great guests and topics. Find out about our great year (yep we are being positive - as much as possible) recording the Decluttr Me podcast. Hope you enjoy this latest episode. It would mean so much if you could leave a review on your favourite...

I often help clients to store their wedding dresses in various ways, but clients and followers are now looking for alternative methods to deal with their wedding dress post ceremony. In this new episode we discuss the various lovely ways to deal with your wedding dress. We...

This week, we are talking about Children’s Memorabilia and how to declutter the hot mess of sparkles or hundreds of baby-gro’s and then organise what you want to keep into a box or two of lovely memorabilia, to remind you of your children growing up. We discuss the following episodes this week: [How to Organise your Kid’s Artwork ](https://www.decluttrme.com/blog/2018/08/01/how-to-organise-your-ki...

It is the week after Black Friday. The goods have arrived. You may have opened the package (if you haven’t yet, please open it now). You check the item and it doesn’t fit, it’s broken, it’s the wrong item, etc. Sigh. Now you have the ordeal of returning it back. This episode is for you, if you get to the sigh bit and forget to return the purchase back. A lot of people lose money and gain clutter i...
