Organizing is simply as means to an end
I have it on good authority that if you’re hopping around this holiday season from house-to-house, you would be best to use travel packing cubes. Pack the cubes with pants, shirts, and socks/undies in another. Zip the cubes and load them into your suitcase. When you reach each destination, you can easily remove the cubes, [...]
Recently, I had the opportunity to review a complimentary product from RedEnvelope.com. I had never sampled a product from this online company, but always admired the site layout and what appeared to be luxury-style items. So, when asked, I jumped at the opportunity to check it out!! I received two gifts: The Family Conversation Topics and the [...]
If you’ve ever had the thought that you’d like to declutter but you didn’t want to “throw away” an “investment” you made in an item, you must read Donna Smallin’s How to Declutter and Make Money Now: Turn Clutter into Cash. Donna starts off with a complete list of “bestsellers” in the second hand [...]
I hung a life-saver of a product on the back of the bathroom door recently. The Clever Pockets helped us clear the bathroom vanity, which makes “cleaning” much easier. We are using the Floral Black mini stash in my daughter’s bathroom. Surprisingly, there are still two empty pockets! What I love about this product is that is’t [...]
One way to lose your stuff at the back of a cabinet, especially the lower kitchen cabinets, is to not utilize every square inch to its fullest. To avoid disorganization and maximizing space, pull-out drawers work wonders. Years ago, pull-out drawers were only available as a custom option in cabinets, but today you can find them [...]
With Mother’s Day in a little more than one week, my daughters started asking me what I’d like as a gift. As a single mom, my first response is “Please bring me coffee and be nice to me all day.” My kids are genuinely good kids, so the “be nice to me” is basically a request to [...]
I want to feel like Carrie when I enter my closet. Don’t you? Hey, we start and end our days in the closet. It’s where we choose what we’ll wear to head out into the world. How do we make it a great space? Simple… Unless you have a ginormous closet, you want to remove all [...]
Yes, I admit it: I’ve gone mad! This running thing has taken over and I’m actually setting a goal of running a Half Marathon this year. My journey started in January. My goal was to “do” (whatever that meant…maybe run/walk/cry at some point) the Cooper River Bridge Run, a 10K. The commitment was easy because [...]
One way to determine what to keep and what needs to go is to look at your current lifestyle and ask yourself, when it comes to your stuff: “What’s relevant?” We all know that once we get married and/or have children, there’s a major shift that happens in terms of how our home is set [...]
You spend lots of money on a good bra, then pack up for a getaway or business trip only to find that your bras have been crushed in transit. Well, not anymore! Last week, I received a sample of a CupCase, a durable, protective travel and storage case that will keep your bras from [...]
