Hoarding, throwing, selling and Swedish death cleaning—we’re talking about 'stuff' and why what to do with it (or what we don't) goes far deeper than just clearing clutter. In this episode, we discuss why you either love having lots of things around you or not and the reasons why many people (particularly parents) hold onto random objects. We unpack the psychology behind our attachment to certain things and explore how your relationship with stuff can reflect your upbringing. Plus, why has minimalism suddenly become so popular?
There's also our recommendations including Oscar movies, prize-winning books and a new makeup hack.
Plus, we wrap up the week with out Best & Worst including fashion disasters and a flat phone battery in human form.
