Is your closet feeling dull and uninspiring? (free printable inside)


Dear Reader,

Every few months I take a look at my closet and spot the things I no longer wear or love. It's become a habit really, a quiet little ritual that keeps my wardrobe feeling fresh and intentional.

I have found that a quick declutter lightens the whole space instantly. And getting dressed feels less like a chore and more enjoyable with clear choices I actually want to wear.

If your closet is feeling dull or uninspiring right now, you may benefit from a mini cleanout this week. And I mean mini. This doesn't have to be a big project or a whole Saturday afternoon.

Just find 5 to 8 items you haven't worn, don't love, or don't fit. Drop them in a bag for donation or resale. And remove them from your closet.

That's it. You'll feel it immediately.

I put together a free Closet Cleanout Cheatsheet, 10 items to remove from your closet first, to make it even easier to know where to start.

Happy spring cleaning! 🤍

My Uber driving has gone up significantly and gone are my quiet mornings of work and focus. But summer doesn't have to mean total chaos... You can still keep a handle on how your home runs, even with kids at home, college kids back, a busier travel schedule or just a completely different summer rhythm than the rest of the year. The...

Hi Reader, Even in a fairly clutter-free house, one space always seems to collect everything. For my family, it's the kitchen. You name it, it ends up here: backpacks, dance shoes, charging cords, mail, dishes (oh my gosh the dishes!!). Throughout the day my kitchen counter and table are completely covered in stuff. For my sanity and just to simply find things, I must reset it daily. Thankfully this doesn't take long and honestly the biggest satisfaction comes from the wipe down of the...

Hi Reader, A few weeks ago I asked what your biggest home challenge was and so many of you wrote back. Closets, tiny kitchens, pantries, downsizing — thank you for sharing. You reminded me that we're all navigating the same stuff, and I greatly appreciate the feedback! Speaking of stuff… I popped into Target last week for a few items and walked straight into their summer display: beach towels, sunscreen, colorful coolers. All of it well merchandised and very tempting. I stopped. I looked. I...
