🌿 Spring cleaning update:

I opened one drawer and found…
• a charger from 2012
• three mystery screws
• and the sudden urge to live a simpler, greener life

So here are my eco‑friendly spring‑cleaning rules:
- ♻️ If you haven’t used it in a year, donate it to someone who will

- 🌬️ Air out rooms before reaching for scented sprays
- 🧽 Use up the cleaning products you already own before buying new ones

- 🌱 Compost the forgotten veggies (we all have them)

- 🧺 Wash in cold water — your clothes and the planet both win

May your home be clean and your guilt minimal!
