Curious Freedom with Kirsty Farrugia & friends

This week we answer some listener questions! We had to queries on under the kitchen sink, small apartments, garage laundries, kids and clutter, and what is the most common item we declutter. We also chatted about the biggest decluttering we have done, how to keep cables organised and our favourite ice cream! This episode has lots of quick tips and suggestions from us, and as always, we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

Thanks to Katie, Owen, Rebecca, Sa & Courtney for the questions. Thanks, too, to Teresa Boughton for the Facebook review!

This week we chat about makeup! We confess that neither is a huge makeup wearer, consumer, keeper or storer. We have, however, decluttered many a bathroom, and we can attest to how long some people keep their makeup for and how a bargain can suck you in! We chat about how Amelie was not allowed my 'used' makeup to play with (until I decluttered recently!) and how Amy's father also had the same rule in their house growing up. We realise that neither of our Mums is a big makeup wearer, which affected us! As usual, we give you tips and tricks on deciding what needs to get binned, what can be donated and what you should keep. We also give you some tips on how to store your makeup. As always, we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

This week we chat about Handbags! We compare how many we have and what we need to swap out of bags. We chatted about reducing the need for so much in your bag and purse by getting you to think about what is essential. We encourage you to go through old bags looking for money and lost jewellery and challenge you to support Share the Dignity with the bags you choose to donate. As always we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

This week we chat about cleaning products! You'll find them in the kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and garage/sheds. We talk about what cleaning products we use and how we store them. We talk about moving towards a low/no tox life and how we both really want to learn more about this topic. Kirsty raves about DoTerra Essential Oils and we chat about chemical free cleaning. We encourage you to go shopping in your own home before you head to the shops or before you buy that cleaning product that is on sale. As always we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

This week we chat about Adult children! Adult children that still live at home, adult children that have moved out of home and still have their contents at their parents and also to the parents of adult children who are frustrated or enabling their kids tendencies to sponge off them. We chat about giving your adult children time frames to collect their stuff. We chat about charging your adult children board and other alternatives to "adulting". This is a fairly no-holds bar, tough-love conversation with Kirsty and Amy, so get your big girl/boy pants on, have a giggle with us and enjoy this fun conversation!

This week we chat about Hidden Clutter! The fruit bowl, front of the fridge, on top of the fridge, the junk drawer and some more. We give you great tips on how to declutter them and also how to keep them declutter for life! We know that delayed decisions equal clutter so we suggest that you don't put things down instead you put them away in their home. We encourage you to just do it now, to find a home for everything and to use the power of 15 minutes to put things away. We also give you a few storage solutions to boot. So come have a giggle with us and banish your hidden clutter forever!

This week we chat about Sentimental Papers, so important documents like Birth, Death, Marriage, Citizenship certificates and Passports along with sentimental cards and letters. We chat about how to help others who are not as sentimental as you are, how to have grace with them and how you might keep it instead of encouraging them to. We talk about keeping things from people who have passed away or might soon and those mammoth letters you wrote to your bestie in High School.

We will be talking about Memorabilia in a few months time so get excited for that episode too.

We chatted in Episode 9 about Kid's Artwork so head there if you want more details about that topic.

This episode is dedicated to all the great teachers in the world. Teaching is a calling and we're so grateful for the teachers from our own childhoods and those that educate our munchkins today.

Along with teaching also comes a lot of resources, material, books, stationery and it seems to breed year on year.

So this week we share our top tips for our teacher friends on how to declutter and organise their professional lives.

Thanks to Ashleigh Newman for the episode request!
