I have only competed the first
category, which included my closet and dresser so far, but it truly makes me
feel happy to just look at my clothes. However,
as much as I loved The Life-Changing
Magic of Tidying Up, I was left with many questions at the end. What kind of kitchen equipment should I
keep? How do I store my food? How exactly do I fold these shirts? What is best way to store my towels? So when I saw that Marie has written a
companion volume, I knew I had to have it!
Spark Joy will answer any questions you may be left with after
reading the first book. It expands on
the original principles of the KonMari method, but gives even more information,
including illustrations about folding everything from sweatshirts to
underwear. There are tips about storing
your makeup, toilet paper, kitchen appliances and everything in between. It’s like a nerd’s guide to tidying!
I also feel like Marie fills in a
lot of the blanks about what to do when you’re done discarding and your space
feels a little sparse and empty. She
gives tips for decorating your new, tidier spaces using the things that you
love. She also tells you that it’s okay
to keep some things that may not seem practical, but do bring you joy, giving
tips for how to use those things you just don’t want to part with as part of
your décor. While her tastes won’t match
everyone’s, I found a lot of her tips to be helpful.
Why it’s a must-read:
You may think, like I did, that
tidying can’t truly be life-changing, but after reading these two books, I
believe that it just might be. Since
reading about people who have tidied their homes and found happiness in a
simpler life, I can really see how much clutter and truly un-joyful things I
have in my home. I think that keeping
only those things you truly love and chucking the rest can be life-changing.
I think everyone can benefit from
reading this book and becoming motivated to clear their clutter. I think a lot of people want to tidy their homes
and lives, a but really just don’t know where to start. Marie will not only tell you how to start,
but she’ll give a lot of tips and practical advice along the way. It’s a great way to start not only a new
year, but a new life chapter. Life-Changing Magic and Spark Joy will only cost you a little
over $20 when purchased on Amazon, so I highly recommend that you buy both of them. If you’re truly dedicated to living a
simpler, less-cluttered life, Marie can show you the way!
Happy Reading!
