I don’t know about you, but this year I’ve been feeling a big big push to de-clutter and sort out my apartment to usher in the new year. With most people on a break between Xmas and New Years, I have taken it as an opportunity to really refresh the place! Obviously by refreshing I mean doing a big physical clean of the place and looking at items that I just don’t need or use anymore.
