Good day everyone! In my previous post, I shared about the ultimate guide to home organization and for me that is the Marie Kondo’s way of organizing. In today’s post, I will share with you how I apply it in my own life.

On the side note, I purchased wooden hangers to organize my closet and it makes it sooo pleasing to the eye. I purchased mine through instagram, you can check the store here. 

Next is my makeup. I have passion for makeup and hairstyle that's why I have quite a collection (but not as much as the beauty guru). I sorted them out and select those that sparks joy. I realized I have a lot of makeup that doesn’t suits my skintone. The reason is that I purchased online and was not able to test before buying. I telly myself I will use it up anyway. But  to be honest, who's willing to wear a makeup that doesn’t matched your skintone? So I started giving away or throwing away makeup that doesn’t look good in me. I ended up having few pieces. This purge was great! When I look at my makeup drawer, I love everything I see. In fact, I find myself using my makeup more often because, it’s easy to find what I need and I like everything that was there. I guess I will keep my collection this way.

Now with the books, this comes so easy because I don’t have a lot. What I discarded most are seminar manuals and handouts. One thing I learn about Konmari Method, you are not supposed to keep seminar manuals because the very thing about the seminar is that you have to learn right at the moment and apply the learning thereafter. How many times we keep the seminar manual and never look at it again? If we rely on the manual to remind us about the seminar, then the seminar itself failed its purpose. Seminars are supposed to be experienced and applied then after. 

As for the mementos/photos, this is what I’ve done. During the process of tidying, I collected loose photos, unfinished scrapbook and love letters and mementos. Marie Kondo suggested that if that memento really sparks joy then you should be able to put them on an album so that in the future when you want to look back on it, everything was well kept (not some dusty old photos). Having this in mind, I was inspired to finished scrapbooking and putting photos in photo album in just one day. For some mementos, I just have to throw them away (like movie tickets, flight tickets) I don’t think I will be happy seeing them in the future. What I kept are photos, love letter from my husband, and letters we receive on our wedding.  The rest, I just have to let go. I don’t need to keep movie tickets, or flight tickets. The photos is a better representation of it.

This are some up the highlights of my Tidying Experience using the Konmari method. I’m loving the results and I plan to maintain this kind of lifestyle. How about you? Have you tried Konmari method of tidying up? Let me know your experience in the comment below. If you blog about it, please leave your blog post link so I can read it as well. 

Hi there! Thank you for dropping by. I’ve been into organizing lately and I’m happy to find the ultimate guide. I’ve read tons of articles on how to organize, how to declutter, how to stay tidy and more, still I end up in the cycle of purging, accumulating, and purging again! I felt like something was not right.
