When it comes to selling your clothes on Vinted, many people assume that pricing items as low as possible is the quickest way to make a sale. But in reality, selling cheap isn’t always the best strategy and sometimes, it can even work against you. Here’s why thoughtful pricing matters, how to find the sweet spot, and tips to help you get the most value from your listings. Why Low Prices Can Backfire Think about the last time you bought something really cheap, maybe from a fas

When More Stuff Didn’t Make Me Happier In my early twenties, I thought having more stuff would bring me happiness. I was at university, free from bills, with a modest allowance that vanished on nights out, takeaway pizzas, and new clothes from the Arndale Centre in Manchester. My halls room overflowed with crates of shoes and drawers full of clubbing outfits, always chasing the next item that promised to make me feel better, more put together. But underneath it all, I never t

Selling on Vinted can be a fantastic way to clear unwanted items and make some extra money, but it’s not always as simple as just uploading items and waiting for the sales to roll in. I’ve seen plenty of sellers get stuck, discouraged, or frustrated because of a few common mistakes. Here’s what to watch out for and some practical fixes that actually work. Mistake #1: Pricing Too Low And Expecting More Money Ever ordered something from Temu and thought you got a bargain, only

Don’t Upload Right Away, Build Trust First One of the most important things to know when you start selling on Vinted is not to upload items the minute you open your account . Vinted uses bots to prevent scammers, which is great, but at the start, these bots don’t know the difference between a scammer and a new seller like you. My best advice? Spend your first week interacting with the app: like and favourite items for sale. This helps build your profile’s trustworthiness befo

I’ve spent nearly a decade decluttering and organising my life. But the truth is, when I first started, I had no idea how to do it. I didn’t know I would enjoy it, and I certainly didn’t know how to let go of things without feeling overwhelmed by fear. Back then, in my early twenties, I had more stuff than I really needed, lots of shoes, plenty of clothes, and a habit of spending money on things without much thought. My home wasn’t necessarily cluttered, but it was full of mo

If you’re wondering what to expect from a wardrobe decluttering service  or a professional wardrobe organiser, I’m here to give you an honest glimpse behind the scenes of a typical wardrobe detox day. The Simpl Living Co wardrobe decluttering process is spread over two days (they don’t have to be consecutive). On day one, I take everything out of your wardrobe and organise it into categories so you can see exactly what you own. Together, we go through each item and decide wha

Written by a professional organiser. If you’ve ever started decluttering a room, you might know the exact moment I’m talking about. It’s that overwhelming point where everything you’ve pulled out is laid out before you, every item from cupboards, drawers, shelves, all categorised on the floor. And suddenly, panic sets in. Clients often tell me about this moment. The initial shock of seeing how much stuff they have, the worry about how they will decide what to keep or let go o

If you’d told my 20-year-old self that one day I’d obsess over fabric labels, natural fibres and conscious consumption, I would have laughed. Back then, I didn’t care where my clothes were made, what they were made from, or how many pieces were crammed into my wardrobe. I loved the thrill of fast fashion, the excitement of buying something new, and the feeling of having an overflowing rail of clothes. I shopped in charity shops simply because I enjoyed finding unique pieces,

If you’ve ever seen something on minimalism and thought, “That’s not for me, I don’t want an empty, clinical house with nothing in it,”  you’re not alone. Minimalism has earned a reputation for being extreme, aesthetic-led, and all about owning hardly anything and that puts so many people off before they even begin. But the truth is: minimalism isn’t about having less, it’s about having enough .   Enough for you , your lifestyle, and your wellbeing. And the real magic of mini

Welcoming a new baby is an exciting time, but it also brings a tidal wave of clothes. Between the generous gifts from friends and family and the hand-me-downs passed on from loved ones, many new parents find themselves swimming in mountains of baby clothing. While it’s amazing to have such a generous start for your child, the reality is that managing all these clothes, especially when your baby is growing so fast, can quickly become overwhelming. If you’re a busy parent juggl
