Do You Remember "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo"?

In this Netflix series, Kondo helps clients clear out clutter, and most of the time some kind of home makeover happens. Basically, we all have been taxed with asking ourselves "Does this bring me joy?" and if the answer is "No" then you need to get rid of it, no matter what the item is. This show was good for people like me who wanted to take control of their home and make for a better space.

If You Have Been Deep Cleaning and Getting Rid of Clutter You May Have a Lot of Things You Want to Get Rid Of.
