Since January, I have been watching various declutter and minimalism gurus on YouTube. I started with about twenty different people but have reduced that to four that I now follow. One of them is Cas with ClutterBug. She breaks people into four different types of organizational styles and is one of the few professional organizers who understands that not all messy people are the same.
She has a show on HGTV called Hot Mess House. I love watching HGTV, but I never do because I don’t have cable or satellite, and I don’t pay for Discovery+. Hot Mess House just started its second season, and I was sorry I would miss it.
We visited my in-laws because Hubby’s sister and nephew were also visiting. My in-laws have cable, and I was curious to see if Hot Mess House was on that night. It was!!! So while the rest of the family watch a Netflix show, I enjoyed an hour of home organization.
If you get HGTV, I highly recommend Hot Mess House. I’m not just saying this because I like HGTV shows. Most of the shows I see are fun to watch, but I could never apply the expensive ideas in my life. Cas’s show is different. She helps messy everyday people organize their life in a way tailored to their organizational style.
In the episode I saw, one of the women was a butterfly. That means she likes her stuff out where she can see it and sorted into big categories. My hubby is also a butterfly, and I saw several inexpensive ideas that would work perfectly for him.
I wish I could watch every episode. Perhaps someday I’ll stream Discovery+, and then you’ll never hear from me again because I’ll be binge-watching more shows than I can count, including Hot Mess House.
If you’re looking for organizational and decluttering inspiration, I recommend CutterBug on YouTube and Hot Mess House on HGTV. Hooray for real-world ideas.
