Happy New Year, it has been a while I know been super busy and indecisive over what I wanted to do blogging wise. If you follow me on instagram you will see my posts have changed rather a lot recently I have come away from the crisp white background beauty post and dedicated it more to a normal instagram. Mainly because I want to be able to look back on it for memories rather than when I bought a new palette. Blogging has been on my mind so much recently as I have lacked so much inspiration, Blogmas never happened due to being too busy and not having the time to sit down and write without falling to sleep! Any way I am back, not going to hold myself to a schedule for now I will just see how I get on...

So, after watching nearly all the rom coms on Netflix, every prison documentary and Gossip Girl 3 times over, I was scrolling through the other night and came across "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. I would like to say I am quite a tidy (ish) person, however I do have a lot of things in my very little room so it feels very messy. I have heard very good things about Marie Kondo's books so I thought I would give her show ago... I am totally blown away and inspired so the day after I did exactly what she teaches - decluttered.
- Take it all out - this is the part I absolutely hated taking EVERYTHING out of my wardrobe and placing it on my bed in the biggest pile of clothing you've seen. Luckily I have no photos of this part luckily!
- Sort through- Now its time to go through everything, I was very brutal with this as I hoard my clothes. I haven't grown since I was about 15 so I always hold on to everything! If I hadn't worn it in the last 3 months then it went! The hardest thing to do was finding something and thinking "what if I go to..." and realising that I will actually never wear this ever again and to put it in the bag.
- Thank your clothes- This sounds crazy and you feel a little silly. Marie doesn't like the idea of shoving it in a bag, likes you to thank your clothes as you are placing them in the bag or box for not keeping.
- Hang/Refold - I work in retail so this is something I can do in my sleep. However Marie has her own was of folding and it is AMAZING saves so much space. So of course I refolded all the clothes I was keeping and sorted them into the correct draws.
- Charity or Bin- If you are anything like me then you probably have clothes with holes or that are faded so sadly these couldn't be donated to charity/family. However I collated 3 bin bags full of clothes that I no longer needed that are going round my family and then to the charity shop.
I will insert some diagrams I have found, of how Marie advises you to fold your Clothes. I totally recommend as it saves so much space and it is so tidy. Also will include my own results below!
She has many other folds too for socks, vests and pants just simply google for help. Here are my finished draws after using the fold..
There we have it my first blog post of 2019, hopefully I can keep it up! If you want more decluttering posts then let me know I am thinking of doing a make up declutter soon! Thank you for reading.
Love
Mel
