Clean out the refrigerator and clean the oven. Give your kitchen and bathrooms a thorough cleaning with natural cleaning products. Wash the windows and wipe down all of the surfaces so they are sparkling clean.Feng Shui For YOU!

Give your self a facial or pedicure. To exfoliate, try dry brushing or a sugar scrub. Hydrate with pure water and eat clean to nourish your body.CLEAR
As you clean, you will likely find areas where clutter tends to pile up. Instead of organizing your stuff, get rid of your stuff. Throw away old, worn out and broken things. Give away anything you haven't used in the past year. Store everything else out of sight behind closed doors and in drawers. Determine where the most daily clutter accumulates and create a way to organize it or keep up on it better. Give each of your possessions a home. Resolve to put things away as you use them. Tidy up before going to bed each night.Learn more about tidying up! Read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo.
