  As the seasons change, spring offers the perfect opportunity for a reset — or at least a chance to finally figure out what’s growing in the back of the fridge. It’s a time to refresh your home (aka shove everything in a closet), clear your mind (or at least try to remember why you walked into the room), and embrace healthier routines (because eating one salad totally cancels out those three donuts, right?). Whether you want to declutter, add new habits, or just survive allergy season without sneezing yourself into another dimension, this guide will help you welcome spring with a renewed sense of energy and slightly less chaos. 🌸😆 🌸 1. Refresh Your Home A clean and organized home can set the tone for a fresh start — or at least make it easier to find your keys for once!  ✅ Spring Cleaning Essentials Declutter one room at a time—because attempting the whole house at once will only lead to you sitting on the floor, surrounded by old birthday cards, questioning your entire ex...

When we think of germ-infested places, public restrooms and garbage bins usually top the list. But surprise! Some of the biggest bacteria parties are happening right under your nose—on everyday items you touch without a second thought. In fact, some of these things are so filthy, they make a toilet seat look like it just walked out of a spa day. Get ready to rethink everything you know about cleanliness! 1. Your Smartphone Your phone goes everywhere with you - your bed, your car, even the bathroom. Studies show that smartphones can carry 10 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. Between constant handling, heat from the device, and infrequent cleaning, it's a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. How to Keep It Clean: Wipe your phone daily with a microfiber cloth and a 70% isopropyl alcohol wipe.  Avoid using your phone in the bathroom. This post contains affiliate links.

Spring is the perfect time to refresh and revitalize your home after a long winter. As the weather warms up and the days get longer, it's the ideal time to tackle all those cleaning tasks that have been piling up. With a comprehensive Spring Cleaning Checklist, you can ensure that your home is in tip-top shape and ready for the new season. Follow these steps to make your spring cleaning process efficient and effective. 1. Declutter and Organize -  Before you can start deep cleaning, you need to declutter and organize your home. Go through each room and get rid of any items that you no longer need or use. Donate or sell items that are in good condition, and throw away anything that is broken or unusable. Once you have decluttered, organize the remaining items in a way that makes sense for each room. This will not only make your space look tidier, but it will also make cleaning easier. 2. Dust and Wipe Down Surfaces -  Dust can accumulate quickly, especially during the winter mo...

Have you ever wondered when is the best time to toss those good old household items that you use day-to-day? As I was researching, I found ten items that should be tossed on a regular basis. I’m sure there are more but let’s start small 😉 1. Sponges - I love a good kitchen sponge, but did you know i t doesn’t take long for sponges to become a hotbed of bacteria. They can spread germs to your hands and then to your food. Or if you have a cut on your hand, bacteria can enter your body that way. Even if you boil or microwave your sponges after each use, scientists say it’s best to replace them once a week. 2. Pillows -   Your beloved pillow loses shape and firmness over time. It also absorbs the sweat, oil, and skin cells you shed while you sleep. Trade-in old pillows for new ones every 2 years -- sooner if they’re flat, lumpy, or stay folded after you bend them in half. I wash and dry pillows a couple of times before it’s time to throw them away. 3. Toothbrush -  Twice-a-...
