Tidylicious
Tidylicious is an independent home organising business in Greenwich, South East London.
Hester at Tidylicious helps people to declutter, tidy and organise their homes using the KonMari Method® developed by Japanese tidying expert Marie Kondo.
The KonMari Method® encourages tidying by category – not by location – beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. Using this method will help you organise your home once and for all, because you will tidy up properly, all in one go, then designate a place for every single item. People around the world have been drawn to this philosophy not only due to its effectiveness, but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking.
Why tidy? One very obvious benefit of organising your home, is to end up with a tidy, clutter-free space. There are so many more benefits. Various studies show that messy conditions cost us more than we might imagine, and in multiple ways:
- Being surrounded by too many things can increase cortisol levels. Chronically high levels of this stress hormone can affect both our physical and mental health.
- When surrounded by clutter, our brains can be so busy registering all the things around us that we feel distracted, stressed, and anxious. This makes it harder for us to recognise, experience, and savour those things that are most important to us – the things that bring us joy.
- In a cluttered home, it can be more difficult to find things. You lose precious time when you’ve got to look for stuff and it can create emotional stress. On top of that, if you cannot find the item, and you buy a replacement, it is costing you money and it creates unnecessary waste that damages the environment.
Why tidy with Hester at Tidylicious? Hester has always been drawn to a tidy and organised home, but she’s not always found it easy to achieve this. Until she read Marie Kondo’s books ‘The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying’ and ‘Spark Joy’. After Hester organised her home using the KonMari Method®, she decided she wanted to help other people put their homes in order too and for them to experience the same joy that tidying has given her. Hester has trained with KonMari Inc, Marie Kondo’s company, and is a certified KonMari Consultant®.
Hester is originally from the Netherlands, but has lived in London since 2004. She lives on the border of Lewisham and Greenwich, together with her husband and three children. Marie Kondo’s mission is to Organise the World. Hester’s mission is to Organise South London.
