FEATURED BUSINESS
I'm so excited to highlight Queens-based home organizer Melissa of Honeybee Home Org, who I recently worked with on tackling some junk that has been sitting in my apartment for years, and making my closets functional!
Melissa helps busy New Yorkers declutter and transform their spaces sustainably and without the overwhelm.
This week only, Astoria, LIC, and Sunnyside residents can book an organizing session for 10% off using code SPRINGQUEENING at honeybeehome.org. Code is valid until midnight Sunday 4/5.
