Decluttering 101

Decluttering 101

I’ll admit it.. I am a horribly messy person. Especially when I am busy, my entire room just seems to become such a cluttered mess. Up to a few years ago, I was always horribly sentimental about everything I owned, whether these things were clothes, small items, or other types of junk. My mom always joked that I was a hoarder! Having to move across the ocean and thus having limited space in the moving container really forced me to finally get rid of all that junk. I spent a good two weeks trying to sort out what I wanted…

Finals season is upon us again and that means that a lot of us will be spending most these days studying hard and working on those last few papers.

Bookstagram 101

So you’ve finally made the decision to make a Bookstagram. You want to share your love for books with the rest of the world. That’s great! But, now what? Even before posting your first picture, I think it’s important to ask the following questions to yourself:– Do you want to stick to a theme?– What kind of editing apps will you use?– How often will you post? I personally like having a consistent theme for a while, so if that’s your jam too, I suggest investing in some cool props! My favorite places to buy props are Michael’s, AC Moore,…
