"I Marie Kondo-ed My Closet & It Changed My Life"

I'm not a hoarder, but I own a lot of clothes.  Over 300 items, to be exact, which is a frightening number to me. Like most people, I only get round to springcleaning once a year, when CNY rolls around and I feel the need to discard old clothes to make room for new ones. It's times like this that one turns to tidying and organising experts like Marie Kondo, the Japanese sensation who wrote the bestselling book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (now a reality series on Netflix called "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo").

My husband bought me The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up for Christmas, and I decided to put it to use while I tackled my ever-growing wardrobe. Tidying is a huge chore, especially for anyone with kids, but I really wanted to experience this "life-changing magic" for myself to see if it was really worth the hype.
