I've never understood the whole stressing over, “Oh it’s Christmas, I've got to get this person something, that person something”.

It's been 2 years since I did my first Kon Marie detox, and never looked back. This we cannot change, but we can take small steps that add up to a big difference. The minute you are born, you have started to contribute landfill in some way. One thing we must all understand: nobody can ever be 100 percent sustainable. In order to make space for things, people, anything that matters to you, you must first let go of the “not good enough” stuff. The Konmari theory applies to everything in life. I finished with 12 huge boxes that I sent to charity, and I now only live with the things I truly love(Included my designs from The Rushing Hour of course). I blocked out a full week sorting out every little thing according to Marie’s method. You’ll never find your closet to be messy again after reading this book. Marie Kondo spent years figuring out the easiest way to organise life, allowing only the things that spark joy to stay. In order to get a clear view on life, I've found getting rid off things first helps so much. My family members are is clean and tidy, but none of us were taught how. Reading this book was a turn-key event for me, because nobody ever taught me the value of being tidy. Read this book: The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo So I committed into making shifts, here are my process of 5 life changing shifts to live more sustainable and happier: 1. Think about it - 10 per cent of my life!!! If I’m lucky enough to live until I'm 80, 10 per cent is EIGHT YEARS. I never lost that weight, and the list of things I owned kept growing. There’s either too many irrational holiday purchases tucked in there, or those blouses that didn’t fit and I promised myself to lose weight for. I could never decide what to wear - and I could never find my socks. Here’s the story: I woke up one morning, realised that probably 10% of my ENTIRE lifetime had been spent flipping through unworn clothes in my closet. My life before last year was kind of a mess, I must admit. So my goal is to remove them from my life, and try to live as real and as sustainable as possible. I started by asking myself this question:'What does freedom look like to me?' To be free from objects and cultures that doesn't serve my values. Thanks to Marie Kondo’s “The Life Changing Method of Tidying Up”, my life has started to turn to the brighter side. From leaving toxic work culture to choosing the tea I drink everyday.
