5 Tips for Fall Cleaning
It's time for spring cleaning's cousin to take centre stage: let's welcome fall cleaning! Throughout summer, the last thing on my mind was cleaning! I mean, why would I want to be inside on a beautiful sunny day? My list of "essential" housekeeping tasks really dwindled down to the bare minimum, to be honest. But, now that it's fall and knowing that cooler weather is ahead (when I'll be thinking about cuddling up on the sofa with a good book and going full-on with my blog and business), I ...
Must-Haves in my Spring Cleaning Toolkit
With warmer weather heading our way, I'm getting ready for some spring cleaning! I stick to the most important cleaning tasks and only use the best tools for the job.

I, personally, don't like lugging around a heavy vacuum or using a broom to sweep up visible dirt from the tile and hardwood floors in my apartment.

I also feel like I get closer to winning the battle against dust in the most fun way possible. ...
Dyson DC77 Multi Floor Vacuum
The Dyson DC77 Multi Floor is a multi floor vacuuming dream machine. I recently welcomed the Dyson DC77 in to my home and in to my life. This is the kind of vacuum that doesn't have me dreading "vacuum day" each week. As the days get longer and there are more sunny days in the forecast, it becomes more obvious how much dust collected on the floor and on my upholstered surfaces. In the daylight everything becomes more clear—having my windows open all the time and having so many trees nearby ...
