And just like that – poof – February was over! We’re another month into 2020 already and another month into my no buy year. It’s been a rocky month as far as my buy nothing year goes (and it’s only month two!), but I’m hanging on in there.

The curse of a seemingly never-ending January has finally lifted.

Clutter is the devil! Ok, maybe that’s a little extreme, but it’s true that the first step to creating a life you love is to get rid of all the stuff that you don’t.

Overhauling your life (and your happiness levels) can start today and the first step is decluttering all the stuff that’s weighing you down. Here’s what to declutter for a happier life.

I used to be the queen of compulsive shopping. I was capable of doing some pretty major damage on my credit card on the average Saturday afternoon. But then everything changed. I learned to shop less. And you know what? It really wasn’t that difficult.
