Here are some dos and don’ts to remember, so that you can plan ahead.
What does home mean to you? When we think of home, the first thing that comes to mind is our physical abode, our place of residence.

“I think most of us had to find their brand of PIVOT during the pandemic–this was mine,” says Lexi Schulze. In the past 22 months, Lexi, known for being a TV Host for one of the country’s most watched channels, took a leaping act of self-love and decided to become a KonMari Consultant.
