Room to Breathe Decluttering

If anyone wants to learn how to be more sustainable with your clothing choices then ECO for ALL will be able to teach you all to know.

I'm on her sustainability programme and I've learnt so much.

This is one of my favourite quotes.

In our world where consumption is at unsustainable levels rethinking our habits is crucial.

➡️Reducing the amount of 'stuff' we buy is a simple place to start.

➡️Reusing and repurposing doesn't take much imagination (and Pinterest can help if you're stuck)

➡️Repairing is easier than ever due to the ever growing chain of Repair Café UK across the country.

➡️Rebuilt and repurposed tech is available from the likes of Back Market or CeX amongst others.

➡️And as for compostable - home compostable is preferable as long as you do actually put the item in the compost.

➡️Recycling is only preferable over landfill - but check on your local council app to avoid wishcycling!

Redesigning is critical for anything that doesn't fit the above criteria.

This can also mean designing a different business model. In the crazy world of fashion, the statistics of over production and over consumption are staggering.

In the case of Rapanui - this has been addressed at every stage. Their clothing is manufactured using renewable energy, their clothing is made to order to avoid waste and they even take their garments back once you're done.

Avoiding unnecessary waste, in a world of 8 billion people is a big step in the right direction.

Buying better is possible and more widely available than you realise.

High street brand FatFace carefully select the fabrics they use, such as Tenzel and Lenzig Ecovero (made from wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed forests)

Do you have spaces in your house which just don't have a purpose?

Or maybe they have too many purposes and you don't know how to make all of them work in one space?

Or maybe you used to use a room one way but now it's not working as your children have got older or your work/life has changed?

Decluttering your space thoroughly can make it much easier to visualise how you want your room to work so we can then make that a reality together.

This was the epiphany my client had this week after a few sessions together and I loved seeing the lightbulb go on in her head and her excitement for making it a reality!

If any of this sounds familiar then let's have a chat and let's see if I can help make that dream a reality!

Well it's not the worst way to finish a Friday (I'm working tomorrow so not really the end of the week for me!)

As much as I love being fully booked with wonderful clients, getting the admin, the finances and having any time for my monthly strategy meeting proves difficult. So getting out of the house to co-work with Dale and get everything in order and set up for the next month is a treat we try and make time for.

The fact that it's usually at and we get a free pint at the end of the day is an extra bonus!

Have a lovely weekend everyone! Let me know what you've got planned in the comments!

I absoutely loved helping Holly declutter and organise her loft. Here's what she said about the experience!

"Every year we say "we must clear the loft' and every year we avoid it!

This year, with the help of Katie over two weekends, we cleared it all out, decluttered, organised (I had a company board the loft) and then she came back and helped us put what was left back up and organised/labelled.

She does this with a gentle guidance and support (never judgement) and the magic sauce... she actually takes away the recycling, charity donations etc so they are not cluttering the house (about 4 car loads!).

Katie is slowly but surely helping us declutter the whole house (Garage, Utility and Kitchen first, then the loft).. who knows where is next! HIGHLY Recommend - in fact I recommend her to everyone and I paid extra. She is worth her weight in gold."

We're heading into Autumn, which is a perfect time to sort your loft (not too hot! 🥵) so if it's been on your to-do list then lets get it done! DM me now!

Do you know I can help you pack up your house if you're moving this year?

I can even help you declutter as you go so you don't end up taking (and paying for) items you don't want/need to take with you.

So, if you're looking to move soon, whether it's a downsizing, you've grown out of your old house, or just a relocation, drop me a message and let's see how I might be able to help make your move as smooth as possible.

The 9th August is National Book Lovers Day...and I think 90% of my clients are Book Lovers so they will be relishing today I hope!

Books can be one of the things my clients find difficult to edit as there are so many reasons to keep them!

📚There's the ones you loved in your childhood and want to pass down to your children or grandchildren.

📚There's the ones you want to read again as you loved it so much

📚There's the ones you haven't read yet (this is usually the biggest pile!)

📚There's the ones you borrowed from someone and need to give back to.

📚There's the ones you want to lend to someone so they can enjoy it too.

If you have the space to house all these categories comfortably then by all means, keep them tidy on a bookshelf somewhere, but, if they are bursting off every bookshelf, sideboard and bedside table you own, then maybe it's time to pair them back a bit!

(And I promise you, you'll never get round to reading the half read ones! If you liked it, you would have finished it!)

Let me know how many unread books you have on your bookshelf or bedside table in the comments!

"...the magic sauce... she actually takes away the recycling, charity donations etc so they are not cluttering the house (about 4 car loads!)"

"...The best thing for me is that she takes everything away with her, which is the part I always struggle with. So there is no need for me to have to decide whether to take items to charity shops, to the tip, to sell them online etc - Katie does all the hard work!"

"...Practically having everything GONE at the end of the day has been integral to making this work so well. Knowing the ‘stuff’ is gone and that Katie will sort to tip, recycle or charity shop. We chose the charity shops we like to give to and lovely to know Katie delivered our stuff there!"

Can you guess what people's favourite part of working with me is? 🤔

I have had such an amazing day at the awards

I was invited to come with my amazing tribe but I didn't know what to expect so was a bit apprehensive. I definitely shouldn't have been though as the energy in the rooms was just electric. Over 200 women in business supporting one another, finding out about one another and learning from one another.

I must admit I hadn't seen the itinerary before I arrived but to hear so many amazing speakers and to be so inspired by everyone has been such a joy. I've followed and on socials for a long time so to hear them speak was a treat.

My head is buzzing and after instruction by the bloody lovely I may just have a crack at entering myself next year! 😬

Thank you , what an eventful! 💕💕

Do you have a War on Waste Facebook group in your area?

For those of you in my neck of the woods (Warwick and Leamington) here's ours. I'm surprised how quiet it is so for the eco-conscious or even if you just love a freebie or are watching your pennies come over and join!

(I'm not admin just think it needs a bit of a shout out!)
