About Me
I'm Leah and I'm an Adelaide-based Declutterer and Home Organiser.
I am a staunch advocate for living with less and enjoying more of life.
I love lists, spreadsheets and for as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved organising my stuff.
After many moves overseas, interstate and back again, it became apparent that I didn’t actually need as much stuff, and as organised and neat as it was, it was taking up room, and costing me time and money. Thus became a slow, gradual decluttering of my possessions. Of the thousands of items I have decluttered, I don’t regret relinquishing one single item. Not one.
Hotel room simplicity really floats my boat. I love the feeling of simple, yet cosy and inviting spaces.
I follow the different philosophies shared by the likes of:
- Joshua Becker (Becoming Minimalist)
- Peter Walsh (Space Invaders)
- Brooke McAlary (Slow, Destination Simple)
- Marie Kondo
- Zoe Kim (Raising Simple)
- Matt Paxton
- Rebecca Mezzino (Clearspace & Be Uncluttered)
- Ryan Nicodemus & Joshua Fields-Milburn (The Minimalists)
- Amy Revell & Kirsty Farrugia (The Art of Decluttering)
- Rachel Jones (Nourishing Minimalism)
I’m not about to tell you to piff everything in a skip. I encourage you to get your sentimental items out of their hidey holes and enjoy them every single day. Use that 50 year old dinner set from Nana - and if one piece breaks, don’t sweat it - it was being loved and serving its purpose
Rehoming & Recycling
I endeavour to recycle as sustainably and responsibly as possible, with the absolute bare minimum going from my hands to landfill.
I am a huge fan of Melbourne based company Upparel for recycling old clothing.
I have been regularly donating items to charities such as:
- The Lyell McEwin Regional Volunteer Service
- Northern Domestic Violence Service
- Save The Children
- Australian Red Cross
- St Vincent de Paul
- The Salvation Army
- Hutt Street Centre
- Koala Rescue
- RSPCA
- Diabetes Victoria
- Bras for Bali
- various Aged Care Facilities, Veterinarians, Kindergartens and Childcare Centres in the local area.
If you wish, you can choose your own charity to donate to.
Less is more. Go on - try it!
