Cleaning supplies can be the worst. Really, just the worst. They’re so toxic and it isn’t necessary. My cleaning lady (yes, even home management experts enjoy some help in the home) has had to have 2 sinus surgeries and has been ordered by her doctor to not use any cleaning supplies other than natural ones like Mrs. Meyers or Seventh Generation.

Have you thought you can’t be a minimalist because you want to maintain the creature comforts of your material life? Good news! You don’t have to give up all of your stuff to be minimalist.

I’ll set the stage: you’ve read a bunch of blogs like mine, you’ve watched YouTube videos, listened to podcasts and read Marie Kondo’s books. Now you’re raring to go! It’s decluttering time!

Ah, clothing. They make us or break us. They describe our style. They imply our self-image. They communicate our loves and hates. We get older and are drawn to different clothes that fit our changing lives. So how do you make sure that closet of yours is full of only clothes that match who you are today?

Do You Know Why You Have What You Have? We are a consumerist culture. We buy the newest, trendiest stuff. Amazon will get you that avocado slicer in 24 hours. We end up with homes full of stuff that we don’t use, need, or even know we have.

The spaces we live, work and play in are a reflection of ourselves and we will mentally and emotionally reflect the state of those spaces. To practice wellness for your space means to care for it as you need to be cared for. If you ignore your health, you’re probably ignoring the health of your home.
