Dealing with the mixed emotions of a home renovation

Have you ever renovated your home? Or taken on a massive DIY project? If the answer is yes to either or both of these questions, then I'm sure you could relate to the mixed feelings we currently find ourselves experiencing with our home renovation. We've come to realize that such a massive project really is a roller-coaster of emotions that really impacts on your daily life - both in negative and positive ways.  Although everyone warns you that it's going to be a crazy process, until you’re actually living through it, it’s hard to know just what it will be like for you personally.

How to take back control of your disorganised car

When life is chaotic and you're going through a particularly busy time, one area that can really suffer is the state of your car. Our cars can often become like a 'second home', but you get to be a bit less rigid about trying to keep it immaculate. This means things get thrown in, mess accumulates quickly and it starts to become a dumping zone that you promise yourself you'll 'get to later'. Can you relate? It's definitely what's been happening with us these last few months!

Why is having a junk drawer a mistake? In my opinion, there are 3 major reasons:

1. You can’t find exactly what you’re looking for quickly

3. It can cost you, as you end up buying things you actually already owned just because you couldn't find them in amongst the clutter

Luckily, it's a pretty easy fix to get your drawers back in shape. In today's video I'm walking you through the simple process for decluttering and organising your drawers so that everything is easy to find. Follow along with these easy steps...
