The Life Changing Magic of Tidying.

We started the new year with an energising visit from Mimi, a Marie Kondo trained tidier! She first explained that tidying your home is not just about being more organised but that it enables you to feel less stressed and calmer. She encouraged us to envisage how our bedrooms made us feel as we started our day, in particular our wardrobes and bathroom cupboards.

A proponent of cleansing entire homes (something she helps people to do) she was keen to emphasise that this is a huge effort so suggested we started with our wardrobes because they are filled with entirely our own possessions and choices. She described how to reduced the quantity of clothes to things we only wear regularly and love, then followed this with a demonstration of some of the folding and storage techniques she recommends, everything from knickers to jeans folded neatly into containers so that every item in your wardrobe can be seen. A high point of the evening was her demonstration of how to fold a fitted sheet into an entirely flat parcel!

There was plenty of discussion over refreshments and members went home to consider their wardrobes!
