When was the last time you went through your medicines?I pulled out my small basket today as I’ve been hit with the flu 🤒 and I found 2 items that expired earlier this year. Don’t be surprised when you find expired items in your own medicine cabinets as I routinely find items during tidying lessons that have been expired for over a decade! I never realized how quickly medication expires before KonMari so now I pay more attention to the expiry date and try not to buy more than I need. ✨
When you choose to keep only what sparks joy for you, it’s like having your own personal boutique stocked with only your favourite things at home. I think putting the hats on the top shelf adds a fun touch to this client’s closet, don’t you think? 👒
This week I attended a hand lettering workshop with @gretajanepaperco at @outsidetheshape. It got me thinking how before I KonMari’d my home, I always felt like there is constantly so much to do and catch up on at home so I didn’t think I had time to pursue hobbies or take workshops and classes just for fun. It’s not like I was home organizing all the time but it felt more like I didn’t deserve to go out. Does anyone know what I mean? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Since finishing my tidying festival, I’ve been to countless classes and workshops regularly. I never thought of my home as something that was holding me back until it wasn’t anymore. In the KonMari process, my goal is to help you create a home that will support you to live the life that will bring you the most joy. Helping people learn to live more mindfully and joyfully is why I love what I do. ✨💕
Having an organized pantry is not about aesthetics. It helps you see what you have so you don’t buy duplicates or have food expire before you get a chance to eat it. It also makes meal planning and cooking an easier process. How do you feel about your pantry?
Did you know I am having a KonMari Workshop at @outsidetheshape in 2 weeks? If you want to learn more about the KonMari Method, this is one event you don’t want to miss. I seriously love doing these workshops so much because it’s simply the most fun. The ticket’s are almost sold out so check the link in my profile if you haven’t secure one. Hope to see you there!
Labels? Or no labels? For me, it depends. In some cases it helps. In other cases it feels like visual clutter. These ones were requested by my 4 year old. Can you say son of a professional organizer? 😂

I was on @globaledmonton a few days ago sharing some KonMari magic. The clip is now posted on my website If you want to catch the replay. 🤗
✨ “There is no need to buy dividers or any other gadget. You can solve your storage problems with things you already have in the house.” - The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo ✨ | This closet is such a great example of using what you have. We gathered and use the same type of hangers to create a uniform look and used boxes to create mini “drawers”. Some sentimental items were displayed as finishing touches so the closet sparks even more joy for the client. (Swipe left to see the before!)
