If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you already know I’m definitely not a minimalist. I’m a collector of sorts, a human magpie and I love to surround myself with things that make me happy and catch my eye.
From makeup, to skincare, vintage items and antique furnishings if I like it and can afford it it’s mine! And I make room for it all the while keeping it all clean, tidy and organized.
In the Marie Kondo show there’s so much fuss about downsizing and being all silly saying goodbye and thank you to the things that don’t “spark joy”. Whenever I don’t like something you won’t catch me whispering its little tiny imaginary ear thank you and goodbye but I’ll be passing it on, donating it or tossing it in the trash. And that’s what everyone should do not make a little crazy ritual out of it.
I also noticed that a lot of the people on the show are just plain dirty. It’s all about being organized and clean~that’s it. Fold your laundry, get a bookcase for your books, clothes go in dressers and closets neatly, put your things away after you use them. Sure, there are many great tips on organization in her show and in her book as well but a lot of the stuff you see going on in peoples homes is just ridiculous. Pick up your junk. Tell your significant other and children to please get off the couch and help. Organize and display your treasures nicely.
I find it is very important to surround yourself with things you like. It’s a fad right now to minimalize and dispose of things, even those with a memory attached, but there is nothing wrong with being a maximalist if that’s what makes you happy! Find your joy, no matter how many knick knacks it takes to get you there!
