Marie Kondo. Does that name ring a bell?
You may have heard Kondo's name on a talk-show, watched her on Netflix or YouTube, read about her on Facebook, or spotted The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up in your favourite bookstore or library.
Marie Kondo is a Japanese home organizing sensation whose minimalist methods of downsizing are front and centre in various media.
Kondo asks “Does it spark JOY?” as she encourages everyone to touch each item in their home.
