‘Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite.’ It may have been adorable when my dad recited this to me every night, but little did he realise how those words haunted me as a little girl. Do I have bed bugs? How can I tell? These questions raced through my mind as I jumped out of bed to pull back and double check the sheets. Fast forward to today and bed bugs still make me shudder.

I love springtime. The sun, the flowers, the longer days – but not so much the allergies that flare up with it. This happens every year for me, and it seems to be getting worse as I get older. All it takes is a walk in the park and my eyes are streaming, my nose is running and my tongue is so itchy I want to scream. With this happening whenever I go outside, I want my home to be a safe space, free from allergies and blocked noses. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Bedroom drawers are often stuffed to the brim with clothes. Before you know it, you’re cramming and slamming to get the drawers shut, then poking in whatever’s overflowing by hand. ‘Problem solved’ you think, until the time comes to open the drawers again and everything springs out. Decluttering the wardrobe is a top priority for many, but the chest of drawers generally goes forgotten about.
