As an organiser and de-clutterer I am constantly on the look out for new ways of wording to my hoarding clients the importance of life and experiences in comparison to items and belongings. How the latter, when 'abused?' can have negative effects on both our state of mind as well...

Warning: A declutter can seriously better your life

When you've found yourself tripping over that bag of clothes (which you've been meaning to 'sort out'/ebay/give to your friends/take to charity for the last six months or more), or cant even bare to sit in your own office anymore because it's...

I wanted to write a quick blog on what I believe to be the most useable and seam free way of organising your home paperwork. I get asked about this all of the time and although many may see it as obvious I think there are so many storage solutions...

Firstly I have had full permission to show the below photographs and will not be disclosing the real name of the client. She was very happy for me to share this information with you all and gave full copy approval.

Right, how to start this shameful Blog?

Yes - I am indeed a Professional Organiser and yes...for a living I de-clutter peoples homes and lives.

It is advised a lot on both TV and in many articles we read to make sure we have our finances in order by checking direct debits and standing orders coming out of our bank accounts and getting on top of what is going where.

De-clutter your computers too!

One thing that is very apparent to me when I de-clutter the lives of my clients, is that a completed job is much more likely to stay organised. That means slowly touching each part of a life that is not being enjoyed enough due to clutter.

Sometimes it's great just to hear wise words from inspiring women. Here are some I picked out on various subjects from the wonderful women speakers at the WIE Symposium London - 2012.

The one thing I made sure I jotted down...

"Time is luxury"
Vivienne Westwood speaking on the...

On Thursday 8 March I was lucky enough to go to the WIE Symposium. WIE stands for Women: Inspiration and Enterprise.

The two women behind the day are Dee Poku and June Sarpong. Thankfully they decided to bring this fantastic day over from the...

So with National De-Clutter Week now upon us I think we should all get in the spirit and try to do something every day (nothing too dramatic) and I really think you will find it makes a big difference!

So 7 days, 7 tasks. I would love to hear how...

In the interesting World of Professional Organisation and De-Cluttering which I work in, I am lucky enough to meet some really fantastic, interesting people. In-fact there is not one single client I have worked for/with that hasn't taught me something new in one way or another.

Leading on from my post on storage the other day I thought I would expand and give you some fail safe tips that always work for me.

It's a fact of modern day life that most of us buy more than we need and keep more than we can fit...

I have a Parisian friend that is unashamedly fabulous. Quite simply whenever I see her she always looks amazing and is never apologetically asking if she looks over dressed or fiddling with her skirt hem nervously. I really admire her and often think as I put on my jeans that...

I think there is a common view that storage has to come in flat packs or it has to be new and with crisp edges or indeed plastic and formal... boring even!

Well after researching daily many many types of storage and ways of utilising new and unusual items and...

As I sit here on vacation in the beautiful Tulum, Mexico seeing such calm around me it emphasises to me even more why we should try in our hectic city lives to 'keep things simple, keep things calm'.

Of course where I am now isn't my real life, and of...
