Hello and Welcome,
I’m Dawn! I’m so glad you've popped over here to join me.
I'm a recovering level 3 hoarder (without the poop), and I suffer from depression and anxiety. There, that's said, it's out of the way.
For many years, I struggled to get my house in order, I used to wake up in the morning – look around and become completely overwhelmed. When the doorbell rang unexpectedly, I had that devastating sense of dread that somebody would want to come into my house. I didn’t know where to start when it came to cleaning. I was drowning in a sea of clutter.
I had tried numerous times to “Get Organised, have been to counselling and done CBT courses and the like, and what I found was that it worked for a little while, then a few weeks later (if that) I was back to stuff shuffling and dodging falling items when I tried to open a cupboard.
I tried every new hint, tip and hack available on social media and quite frankly nothing worked long-term. It only made me feel more depressed, and to make myself feel better, I would log on to Ebay, Amazon etc and buy something. Well, that worked for about a minute, then when the item arrived, after the initial joy of opening the package - came that familiar feeling "Where the hell are you going to put that now Dawn?" - yes I talk to myself a great deal too.
I hated my stuff, I hated cleaning and sadly, I ended up hating my house….
Fast forward to now and I can breathe a sigh of relief, and when I look around my home, I fall in love with it over and over again. I no longer have to watch where I walk for fear of falling or tripping over something, (you see what I did there with the two types of falling 😊 ) I have clear surfaces and I no longer hate cleaning; in fact, I actually look forward to it… because when it’s done, I have the rest of the day to do what I enjoy.
I can say, I have a beautiful, uncluttered and organised home. It's not perfect, and it's not going to win any awards for the most inspiring picture on Instagram or Pinterest - But what it is... IT'S REAL... It's where I live every day, not just for photo shoots.
If you feel like you’ve tried many times to get your home in order and you’re ready to give up. I’m here to tell you that you really can have a beautiful, uncluttered and organised home, which will not take hours a day to keep it looking fabulous. I promise you, if I can do so can you.
I want to help you achieve the home you’re dreaming of, too!
Imagine never again having to spend hours moving your clutter before you can even begin cleaning.
Imagine being able to have a friend come over and there be a seat available for her to sit down on without having to scoot all your stuff onto another chair, or on the floor?
Imagine coming home to a space that you LOVE, and feeling peaceful and Calm instead of Overwhelmed and Frustrated. You could have more time with Family and Friends (If you want to that is 😊)
