Even a professional organiser needs to declutter her own makeup!
Eyeshadows I rarely wear, lashes I never use and enough lip liners to last me ages. Yet somehow, I always reach for the same few products.
Some were lovely gifts, others were purchases I regretted. And the bronzer? I’m already brown and sparkly!
So I went through everything, let go of what I wasn’t using, cleaned the containers and organised what was left into categories: eyes, lips, face, brushes and accessories.
Now I can see what I have, find my favourites and avoid buying more of the same. Yes, I’ve kept a few extra eyeshadows because I still love the colours. Decluttering doesn’t mean giving up everything you enjoy.
Less clutter, more space and a makeup collection that suits my actual routine.

Today I’m celebrating 14 years of DeCluttr Me!
I’ve now been a professional organiser for longer than I was a solicitor, helping clients across the UAE and beyond create calmer, more organised lives.
What is your Thing?
Mine is Havaianas. Between my mum and me, we’ve collected around 20–30 pairs over the years. Some people have 50 foundations. Others have endless white, black and cream vest tops.
Losing weight is about far more than the number on the scales. It often means rethinking your wardrobe, letting go of clothes that no longer fit your lifestyle, and embracing a new sense of confidence.
I’ve been quiet while navigating a tense but safe situation, feeling the emotional strain, and I’m grateful for your support as I begin sharing practical tips to help others through it too.
So I recently had someone contact me and ask: “How are your services different from Just Life, Service Market, or Kareem Cleaning?” I laughed a little 😅 because my first thought was, oh she thinks I’m a cleaning company. Very rare, because my SEO usually filters that out. But then it clicked 💡 These portals are now advertising decluttering and organising, and that’s where the confusion starts.
