Happy Friday! Anyone else have spring cleaning on their mind this weekend? I probably spend a solid 2 hours re-organizing my closets every Saturday (one of my favorite activities), but it’s been a while since I’ve done a deep clean. With my husband’s allergies acting up, I just feel like it’s the perfect time to clear out our apartment of dust and excess, while we’re at it.

I’m a wanna-be minimalist/sentimental hoarder, so it’s not so easy for me to part with old belongings (especially shoes and clothes), but as someone who likes to keep a tidy home, purging is one of the best feelings in the world. It’s why I am so strict about what comes into our apartment, because once something comes home with us, I may get attached. I’m also very thoughtful with my purchases so as not to accumulate junk. How I combat my desire to hold onto things is by finding a home for every item I no longer want, a long and taxing process, but very rewarding at the end.
