🎶 Song of the Day
Gonna be real with you. This might be my favorite part of this email at this point. It has probably the least utility of any segment. I was looking at the click map today and only about 30 of you actually click on this to listen to the music, but I don’t care. I love it.
Enjoy this absolute banger that doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves.

If you make music and want to be featured here ☝️, give me a shout!

 BEFORE ❌ |  AFTER ✅ |
And here’s what some of her past customers have to say about her:
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ “Emily was the absolute best. She was so kind, easy going and not pushy about getting rid of stuff, which I appreciated!!! She knew exactly what she was doing and did it well, including helping me put some organization pieces together. She also took all the donations I had out of the house which was extremely helpful. 10/10 recommend booking Emily for all your organizing needs!!” | ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ “As a busy mom I was feeling overwhelmed every time I would try to organize any area of our home. Every time I tried just seemed to make a bigger mess! My husband surprised me with a consultation with meat and potatoes organizing and I cried I was so excited. They came and pulled everything out of my pantry and closets then put the needed stuff back and in an organized way, just making things make sense! They did the same with our mud room and main floor closets and it was such a huge help! Having organized spaces helps my mind so much!” |
Alright, alright. You get it. Now—time to take action.
