I've had this blog since the first of November 2010! I think that's totally crazy. I don't blog quite as frequently as some people I know, especially this month since it's National Blog month (or whatever that thing is called!) but I really want to get back into writing posts and sharing things. It's almost therapeutic to write down things that are great, or not so great, in your life!
So, I switched up my background, changed the fonts and perhaps I will do a little more when time permits another day.
I also wanted to include a few little things that I've been up to lately on the organization front. If you have ever seen my room, you would know I am not organized at all. I am actually pretty messy, and if you ask my mom or my boyfriend, I may have some hoarding tendencies... but it's not that bad I swear! I really only hoard books... and stuffed animals... and shoes.... and clothes... okay I might have a little bit of a problem throwing things away! But I've been getting better lately at purging and reorganizing! I'm setting a goal to try and really focus on keeping my room clean and organized. It's hard, because I suck at those things, but it's a good challenge!
Over the past few months I've been scouring Pinterest for DIY organization things, and searching websites and stores for useful hooks and hangers and trying to make my room at least slightly organized. It has proven to be a tedious task, but I have done a few things that have really made a difference in how clean and organized my room is, and I thought I'd share some with you!
Magnetic Makeup Board
This might be one of the best things I have EVER made off of Pinterest. It cleaned up my dresser, keeps everything all together, and it actually looks really cute too! For the approximately 15$ I spent to make it, it ended up being one of the biggest morning time savers too. All of my makeup is laid out in a way that it super easy to see, and it's so easy for me to take off an eyeshadow, and slap it right back up once I'm done using it!
Scarf Hanger
This is by far one of the best things I have ever found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I am a scarf collector. I have at least 30 scarfs, and believe it or not, come the fall and winter I wear a scarf nearly every day. If you are ever looking for a Christmas present for me - scarfs are always a good idea! Being a scarf addict, I always have them laying all over the place. They end up in various drawers, hanging on hooks.. all over the floor... basically everywhere! But with this awesome hanger, they are all in one place and I can always find the one that I want! If you are a scarf collector like me, you should go invest in one. I got it for about 13$, and it has made my love of scarfs even more wonderful!
Door Purse Hanger
Along with collecting scarfs, I also collect purses. I love my purses, and I love to be able to look at my purses! Prior to finding my wonderful purse hanger, I had them hanging in my closet, and I didn't like it. I found this cool purse hanger at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and it works perfectly for keeping all my bags and purses in one place! I also didn't have to put holes in the door or wall to hang them up, as it works with an over the door hook!
So... I'm getting organized! It actually feels really good to look around my room and not be overwhelmed with clutter! =)
Oh, and one last thing - I have to share her cute little face because I just love her so much.
Blog, and be happy!
