July 09, 2019 Women Against Waste: Tania Goranitis
Tara talks to Tania Goranitis about Women Against Waste, a roving event for regional Australia aimed at helping women and their families wage the war on waste and reduce their impact on the environment.

Tania explains how Women Against Waste works, and you might be inspired to host one in your town! With the core pillars of Swap, Donate, Recycle, Mend and Learn, she has loads of great ideas to reduce your impact on the environment too - every little bit helps.

July 02, 2019Decluttering Mode vs Maintenance Mode
Decluttering is not a one-off activity - it's something that stays with you for life. Although it is always with you, it does change over time, however.

This week Bec & Tara discuss what Maintenance Mode is, how it differs from Decluttering Mode and how each mode works. When do you know when you're in Maintenance Mode? Will you ever get there, and can you switch between the two?

June 25, 2019How to build an Intentional Wardrobe
Wrapping up Wardrobe Month, Bec & Tara are teaching you how to transition from your current wardrobe to an intentional one.

An intentional wardrobe isn't a capsule wardrobe, nor a minimalist wardrobe. It's YOUR version of the best wardrobe - one that has only what will fit easily in your closet, and has all of your favourite clothes.

Tune in and find out how to get there!

June 04, 2019Why we have what we have in our wardrobes and closets
It's wardrobe (closet!) month! This month is all about wardrobes, what we wear, why we wear it, how to be intentional, and how to organise your wardrobe.

For those of you in the US, when we say wardrobe we mean closet. But we also mean wardrobe (ie, the collection of clothes we own). We use the word wardrobe for both the closet AND the collection of our clothes, just to be confusing for you, sorry!

We're starting off this special month with a little sneak peek into what's in our wardrobes. Why do we wear what we wear? Why are we keeping the clothes we're keeping? Do we need to change what's in our wardrobes?

May 28, 2019What free stuff actually costs you
We've all receive them before - free stuff. Water bottles, lanyards, keyrings, mugs, stress balls, extras with an order, samples at the supermarket, 2-for-1 whats-its and all sorts of stuff.

We see a LOT of clutter caused by free stuff, so we wanted to have a chat about the fact that even though something seems to be "free", it's not really - everything you bring into your home costs you in some way. We talk about lots of the hidden costs of "free" in the hope that perhaps it might help you be a little more intentional about bringing stuff into your house and reduce your clutter levels.

May 21, 2019What’s the #minsgame and should you play it?
The #minsgame is a game created by The Minimalists, Joshua Fields-Milburn and Ryan Nicodemus.

The game's aim is to provide you with motivation, accountability and a straightforward method to declutter as many as 695 items from your home in one month.

Bec and Tara share their thoughts on it, and their experiences with doing it (and avoiding doing it, in Bec's case) in this episode.

If you're interested in playing the game yourself, make sure you join our Facebook Community Group to play with us in June.

May 14, 2019How do you know when you have too much stuff?
Bec and Tara don't really like using the words "right" or "wrong" or "too much" or "not enough" when talking about the volume of people's belongings. Everyone is so different - we all have different sized homes, different personalities in our household and different tolerance levels for clutter.

A better way to describe volume levels is to call them "helpful" or "unhelpful".

In this week's episode Bec and Tara discuss how to work out if you have unhelpful or helpful volumes of belongings, so that you can make some changes that make your life safer and happier!

May 07, 2019 Kitchens - the hub of the home
Cluttered kitchens are such a pain - when they're overly cluttered it's really obvious, and it gets in your way more than other areas because it's so frequently used.

This week Be and Tara dive into the kitchen and give you some strategies to declutter and organise it so that you get the most out of the space, and get rid of some of the clutter that's annoying, embarrassing and frustrating you.

Tara's platter tip will have you wondering why you never thought of it yourself, and Bec's Tupperware tip might just blow you away too!
