Spring Cleaning!

We have all used this term! "Spring Cleaning!" Well, it's that time of the year again ... It might not feel like it for some of us, still looking at traces of snow on our front yards, but before you know it, you will be gardening and looking for your summer clothes and flip flops!

Everyone benefits from some kind of spring cleaning. The best part is, there might not be any cleaning involved per say. Maybe organizing is the better word. Who doesn't have an extra pair of jeans that has been collecting dust in the closet for the past 3 years? What about that bag of clothes that you forgot you had and now you realize you don't really need after all?

Before you start storing away your coats, scarves and gloves, take a look at what you wore this winter, how many pairs of gloves, hats and scarves do you have, and decide whether you can part away with some of them. If you absolutely cannot part with any of them, try to trick yourself into parting away with them by storing them somewhere where they might be forgotten for a very long time ... When you go through this cycle again in few years and you realize you haven't exactly missed any of these items, then you can finally give them away for good.

As I have always said, giving away things to your friends, neighbours, donating to local charities, clubs, will only make you feel better while at the same time, you will be giving yourself more room to breathe in your home.
