Spring Cleaning Using The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and it helped me understand how I should be cleaning. My whole life I've been a messy person, but after the book I felt I could tackle my stuff with a better outlook. However there I knew there were some rules and guidelines in the book I couldn't follow. So I made up some of my own guidelines.

Let me know your experience with Marie Kondo's Spark Joy Method. If you use her book as a guide for Spring Cleaning I think your place will get tidy and stay manageable for sure!

The Plus Bus - plus size consignment, used and vintage clothing - body p...

Megan @megmodels the conceptual artist and body positivity advocate, had an event at The Plus Bus. It's a really cool plus size clothing shop in LA. They take trade-in used but still nice clothing, and will give you store credit. They both were so kind and generous, and let me film some of the event.



I found Megan's IG a few years ago, when I was just starting Break + Remake and feeling like I needed to change how I looked to be on camera. At the time I knew that fashion magazines were not healthy for me to look at, so I had already stopped. But I was still looking for a guide, I guess that's what you would call it, to help me see I could be in frame and in focus. Megan helped me see this. Follow her on IG and buy her prints!



Selina was performing at the event, and was super chill and let me talk to her about body positivity too, and her quote was the best. "Love you some you" -Selina Carrera. Tweet it, write it on your mirror. If you are an artist make prints and give Selina some love.



Show my people some love!
