The KonMari Method: Tidying Could Save Your Life!
Just like Marie Kondo, I realized the magic of tidying up when I was very young. You see, I was an only child, and I was also the first grandchild. This meant I was given every toy and trinket under the sun, and having to manage all of those things at such a young age was quite overwhelming. I bet you can easily imagine how messy my room was if I told you there was barely room to walk on the floor because it was covered in toys and books.

The Truth Behind KonMari and Tidying Your Books!
Marie Kondo received a lot of flack when she suggested that you "get rid of your books" (and she never actually said it quite like that) but this is what it looks like when you apply the KonMari Method to your books.

The KonMari Method Can Open The Door To Romance!
One day, a young man contacted me for some tidying help. He was a bit distraught, for he had just endured a difficult break up. I met with him in his apartment for a consultation and assured him that after we were finished tidying he would find the girl of his dreams. Sometimes the wildest things come flying out of my mouth but they always tend to be true. My team and I tidied the entire apartment from top to bottom and we left him a happily tidied young man.

On April 26th I pinned France on my dream-board map as the very first country that I wanted to visit for my tidying business and wouldn't you know I landed in Monaco on the 4th of September. After only a couple of Skype sessions and seeing the general layout of Suzanne's apartment I flew over the Atlantic ocean having really no idea how this was all going to turn out. But after doing this work with so many clients, I knew it would all be perfect!
