Recently, I came across a viral video series by 25-year-old Allyson Cartwright (@WonderlandAllys).
So kindly donate items that can be donated and recycle items that can be recycled.
But some things belong in the garbage can, and that’s okay."
Have clothes that fit you and make you feel good."
She says, “Lotions and makeup do expire, and they can harbor some pretty gnarly bacteria.
So give yourself permission to get rid of the things that you’re not using.”
She even madea videoshowing her method for decluttering beauty products, and it’s really practical and helpful.
First, she says she always starts organizing a home with the bedroom.
“I like to equate the bedroom to the ‘head’ of the home.
Once the bedroom is in order, she moves to the kitchen.
When your kitchen is super cluttered and overwhelming, it’s easy to feel shame or embarrassment.
No one deserves to feel that way!”
From there, it really depends on your goals and your particular home.
Its hard to achieve a goal if you dont know what it is."
And if getting rid of things brings up difficultemotions, Cartwright can definitely empathize.
I think this narrative is pushed heavily by social media."
Instead of regular maintenance, it’s more about building new systems that better serve your lifestyle.
And I don’t have to tear down walls to make it happen!"
