50 things you need to throw away

We all want a happy, clear mind and this starts at home. If you are living in messy, cluttered rooms this will have a negative impact on you and could slow you down.

I challenge you to chuck away items that are not needed. I have created a list below to give you some ideas of items that you no longer need you and will be surprised at how good this makes you feel.

Remember not all items need to be thrown in the bin.  Some can be taken to the charity shop or you can have a carboot sale so organise two boxes one for rubbish and one for charity/carboot.

Good Morning 💗I have been on a decluttering mission over the past few days and I have been ruthless. Wardrobes have been jam packed full of clothes we no longer wear, endless amounts of make up and hair accessories.Decluttering is such a well needed process a few times a year. (Once a season for me) It will improve your headspace, make you feel much more positive and give your home more space and order. Be tough STOP the excuses and STOP holding onto something because you might wear or use it again.START by getting everything out of cupboards, wardrobes and bedside cabinets If you are short on time, just do one space whenever you have a spare 15 minutes.✅Get rid of clothes that don’t fit ✅Get rid of Stained/ damaged items ✅Reassess on trend purchases✅FILL A BAG, donate, sell or recycleMake time and go for it 😀#declutter #organise #wardrobeessentials #keypieces #letgo #brutal #recycle #donate #confidence #style #teenagelife #mumslife #queenofclean #fillabag #restore #order #motivation #mentalhealth #cleanhouse #happyhouse #autumnclean #autumncleaning ...

Happy clean sheets Sunday 💖Changing the bedding is not everyone’s favourite job. The washing along with the ironing and then popping on a lovely fresh set is time consuming and not easy for everyone especially if you suffer with health conditions. 🛌But the benefits of a fresh bedding are immense. That feeling of climbing into fresh sheets that smell gorgeous is a magical moment.How often do you change your bedding ???🛌Twice a week.🛌 One a week 🛌 Every fortnight 🛌 Once a monthBeds can become seas of human cells, bacteria and bodily fluids . Warm, moist environments are an ideal breeding grounds for dust mites and their faeces can trigger allergic reactions 🙈#cleansheetssunday #bedding #sheets #bed #bedroom #bedroominterior #bacteria #dirt #bodilyfluids #queenofclean #queenofcleaneffect #clean #cleaning #bedding #beddingsets #homesweethome #cosy #sleep #sleepwell ...

Good Morning lovelies 💗......It’s Fridge Friday .Keep on top on your fridge cleaning by dedicating just 10 minutes a week to your fridge then these simple steps will become a breeze.Building a habit like this is going to save if you so much time in the long run 1️⃣Empty your fridge and check dates & for empties 2️⃣Take the shelves out and wash in warm soapy water if you have spillages or sticky patches grab a multi purpose cleaner and wipe over before washing in the warm soapy water or add into your water a drop of white wine vinegar 3️⃣Use a cotton bud (bamboo ones preferable) with a tiny drop of washing up liquid and water and run through the fridge rubber seal. Mould builds up very quickly in the seals 4️⃣Wash the inside fridge sides with your warm soapy water and a splash of white vinegar 5️⃣Put back together and leave in a small egg cup of bicarbonate of soda to soak up any food odours✨Happy Friday✨ #fridgefriday #motivation #queenofclean #cleaning #routine #focus #dailytasks #lifestyle #kitchencleaning #kitchensofinstagram #mumslife #familylife #clean #tidy #homesweethome #groceries #fooddelivery #cleanup #dirty ...
