THE TIDY LIFE PROJECT

Having a relaxing facial needn't cost the world. In fact, you don't even have to leave your house!

I love whipping together a quick and easy DIY face mask for a pampering session on a budget, using store cupboard basics found in my kitchen cupboards. What could be easie...

I love using essential oils in my home. I use them in cleaning products, beauty products and in my diffuser to boost mood. But can just a few drops of plant-derived oils really kill germs, fight acne and reduce stress? It seems a little pseudo-sciencey, too good to be...

Working for yourself appeals to many people. You can set your own hours, make all the decisions and never have to put up with rude colleagues again. Plus, all the money you make you get to keep. What is not to like?

When we feel unmotivated like this, it can b...

The first thing any pro will tell you when you first express an interest in living with less, is that decluttering is a marathon, not a sprint. 

If you have found this post because you feel ready to start making radical changes in your life, GREAT. If you have found thi...

It is no secret that children are not great fans of tidying up; it cuts into their all-important and hectic playdate schedules. So much to play, so little time to tidy. Yet teaching your littles to help out around the house needn't be like pulling teeth, nor do you nee...

It is no secret that I enjoy organising. In fact, I love tidying and organising so much I’d consider it a hobby, as well as my career.
