And when I say cleaning what I really mean is purging my house!
I am sick and tired of living in clutter, not being able to find things, always have to clear away 'stuff' before I can cook or work at my desk.
I always thought it was because we live in a small house with 5 people but the reality is we have been sucked up into the world of commercialism!!
As you've been following me on my journey, you would have noticed how simply changing my diet has opened my eyes up to the world around me. I am no longer just focused on the scales or even the bigger picture my health. I am now open to all the possibilities that I guess I just didn't have the energy to see before!
So with some googling and YouTube I have discovered a movement called ZERO WASTE LIVING, and this way of living not only fits in beautifully with my whole food plant based eating :)
Not only is is ZERO WASTE its also ZERO CHEMICALS, ZERO CLUTTER & ZERO EXTRA COST..... I am doing my bit for the environment, getting more involved in my local community and teaching my kids along the way.... WINNING
Two places that I have found helpful so far are found both on YouTube and Facebook, Waste is for tossers and Zero waste home.
I am going to start in my kitchen as its the room I use most, its where all my healthy yumi food is prepped and right now its just chaos hidden behind those cupboard doors!
I have deccluttered many times, in fact I am known well for having a skip bin at least twice a year for my 'clear outs' and I hate to admit it but I reckon I was a huge contributor to landfill! I didn't think what was to happen with what I was throwing out as long as it was no longer in my house causing chaos! I am a tosser!
But this time is going to be different! I am not ordering a skip, instead I am going to recycle, re-purpose, rehome and donate my clutter. The good old saying one mans trash is another mans treasure :)
This also fits in beautifully with Plastic Free July!
Bring on the composting, growing organic veg & living a clutter free life!
