THE KONMARI METH

The KonMari Method™, developed by Marie Kondo, is a systematic approach to decluttering and organizing your home by keeping only those items that "spark joy." Here's a quick rundown of the method:

1. Envision Your Ideal Lifestyle: Before you start, visualize your ideal life. What does it look like? How does it feel? This vision will guide your tidying process.

2. Tidy by Category, Not Location: Start with clothes, then move on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and finally, sentimental items. This helps you see everything you have in one category, making it easier to decide what truly brings you joy.

3. Ask If It Sparks Joy: Hold each item and ask yourself if it sparks joy. If it does, keep it. If not, thank it for its service and let it go.

4. Tidy All at Once: Tidy up in one shot, not little by little. This intense, thorough process prevents the rebound effect of clutter.

5. Choose What to Keep, Not What to Discard: Focus on what you want to keep rather than what you want to throw away. This positive mindset makes the process more uplifting.

6. Organize and Store: Once you've decided what to keep, find a place for everything. Marie Kondo suggests asking your house where items should go.

7. Respect Your Belongings: Treat your items with care. This means folding clothes neatly, storing things where they can be seen and accessed easily, and appreciating what you have.

The KonMari Method™ is more than just a way to tidy your home; it's about resetting your life and living in a way that brings you the most joy¹². It's a reflective process that encourages mindfulness and intentionality in your living space and life.

DOES SUNSCREEN EXPIRE?

Sunscreen does expire, but here's what you need to know: - Shelf Life: According to FDA regulations, sunscreen has a shelf life of 3 years. So, you can use leftover sunscreen from one year to the next. - Expiration Date: Some sunscreens include an expiration date. If yours has one, follow it. Otherwise, write the date you bought it on the bottle and discard it after 3 years. - Storage: To keep sunscreen effective, store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
