Transforming Everyday Cooking: The Power of Simple Solutions

This weekend, as I tackled my bi-annual moth protection routine, I reflected on the remarkable transformation in my wardrobe—and my outlook on my clothes. There is a certain magic in having an organised wardrobe filled solely with items that spark joy. Whenever I open my wardrobe to see my clothes arranged by category and colour, I feel excitement and a wave of happiness. (Even many years after I first organised it using the KonMari method of tidying)  Getting dressed has become a joyful, stress-free experience. In the past, my overflowing wardrobe made it difficult to find what I needed. Seasonal rotations sent me up and down to the loft, where I would spend hours folding, ironing, and hanging clothes. Rediscovering forgotten pieces was a fleeting pleasure, overshadowed by the effort involved. A turning point came when I embraced the KonMari Method. By gathering all my clothes and evaluating each one for joy, I realised that guilt and the hope of future wear had clouded my judgement. This shift in focus allowed me to cherish only those items that truly resonate with me. To my surprise, I discovered I wore merely a small fraction of my wardrobe—about 20%—while the rest languished in neglect and guilt. Now, every piece sparks genuine joy and confidence. While I still have special items, such as my fabulous green jumpsuit from my 50th birthday celebration that I have loved wearing on other occasions—I value the joy they bring over their frequency of wear. The freedom that comes from a refined wardrobe has been life-changing. I never imagined such a simple decluttering process could revolutionise how I feel about my clothing. Mornings are now seamless; I can effortlessly select outfits I adore while saving money by avoiding unnecessary purchases. I no longer stand before a full wardrobe feeling I have nothing to wear, nor do I need to replace lost items hidden beneath the chaos. With a curated selection of clothes I genuinely love, I can create numerous outfits with ease, maximising the potential of each piece. This weekend’s experience highlighted another benefit of an organised wardrobe: the annual task of moth protection is now straightforward! In mere minutes, I could empty my closet, give it a quick wipe, apply the moth spray, and refresh my cedar hangers with a lovely essential oil blend. The process was joyous, leaving my wardrobe smelling wonderful and well-protected!
