Putting Your Clutter On A Diet

Guaranteed to make your living space fit better by summer!

Happy spring, friends! (I say that with a little sarcasm for my friends here in Chicago, who are still wearing our heavy winter coats… wondering if we are going to get windburn on opening day at Wrigley.)

Summer really is coming.  Several people have promised me this. 

As anxious as I am to get back into skirts and flip flops, I also know no matter how many coats of sunless tanning lotion I apply, it’s not going to make my clothes fit any better.

The short list of diets I have been on consist of:

  • The (in a wedding and my ex-boyfriend will be there) Cabbage Soup Diet
  • The (haven’t seen these people since I was in high school) Master Cleanse
  • The (refuse to wear something that looks like a prairie skirt over my bathing suit while on vacation) Cantaloupe Only Diet

All joking aside, none of the diets mentioned above were healthy, and rarely resulted in lasting weight loss. 

If you are smart enough to read this blog post, you are smart enough to know the reason for weight gain is consuming more calories in a day then you have burned. 

It’s also not rocket science to know the reason you have clutter is because you have brought more “things” into your living space than you have gotten rid of.

Let’s work together to eliminate some of those “things” and work on some target areas that need help before summer gets here!

Starting April 1st, lasting for 30 days, I’m going to post here on my blog (and Facebook), an area I want you to concentrate on for that day.

Just like a weight loss diet, some days are going to be harder than others for certain people.  Some of you may want to give up on “SHOE” day… but on “Hair Product Day” – well, let’s just hope you are a wash and go kind of gal / guy.

In the meantime, I encourage you as my readers and clients to submit your problem areas so we can work on them as a team.  Before and after pictures posted to my Facebook page would be amazing! Success stories? I can’t wait to read them!

Let’s get excited to get your clutter on a diet!

(Hopefully you aren’t rolling your eyes at me like I always do at the Weight Watchers lady.)

I’m way cooler than she is.
