The new year always sparks a cleaning frenzy in everyone to start your year off with a clean slate. 

With the new Netflix series Tidying Up With Marie Kondo being all the rage right now as well, everyone is all hands on deck when it comes to cleaning their homes – and I’m no different!

I’m naturally a pretty tidy person and enjoy staying organized, but I love jumping on the bandwagon this time of year to really organize my home. And the way I’ve learned to see it as that there’s no use in organizing and cleaning old crap that you don’t even want. Know what that means!?

purge: : to make free of something unwanted

I’m sure you can find a TON of stuff in your home that’s now unwanted. Trying to fold or make closet space for clothes you don’t even want is a waste of time and space. Old expired soup in the pantry? Yeah, you’re never using that. All of that stuff just causes clutter.
