Unf*ck Your Habitat: You're Better than Your Mess by Rachel Hoffman

May 23, 2019 by faintingviolet 4 Comments

I’ve intended to read this book for some time. Down in the depths of my depression fellow Cannonballer Siege mentioned on Facebook one of Rachel Hoffman’s tips to Unf*ck Tomorrow Morning – put a little toilet cleaner in the bowl before bed. It was such a small thing, but cleaning my bathroom had become my Impossible Task and it helped get that under control that week and lift the cloud of depression just a little bit.  I knew instinctively that any author who would a) […]

October 11, 2018 by Ale 8 Comments
