2018 started without a bang. Unlike previous years, there was no party nor any hassle. The couch provided the perfect spot to watch the laser show hosted by Burj Khalifa. For me, it was liberating to only be that evening. No big fuss entertaining, deciding what to wear, when to meet. And the theme of calm continued the next day.
How often do you declutter and organise your home? Do you hold a decluttering marathon once a year? Maybe more often? One of my friends did hers recently. She was completely flabbergasted when I said “I don’t do these marathons!” Here’s why:
APDO Association of Professional Declutterers & Organisers is running the 4th annual NOW National Organising Week this Autumn. Through social media, blogs and partnerships, the association will motivate and inspire people just like you to organise their homes and workplaces. We are taking part in the campaign and bring it to this region!

Then this post is for you!
Today, we’re sharing 4 tips on decluttering and organising your books:

I can feel the temperatures going down and it’s brilliant. The weather will finally allow us to sit out on the balcony and breath again. It’s going to be wonderful! If only our balcony wouldn’t equal a mini desert. There’s sand all over, thanks to me not cleaning it often over the summer. What better time to create our own little balcony oasis than this weekend?
Are you ready to update your balcony, too? Here are our tips to start creating your own oasis:
