Protect the investment you make in your sweaters by caring for them well & storing them appropriately. Arrange sweaters in one area of your closet or dresser so that you can quickly & easily find the item you’re looking for. Simple closet or shelving solutions help keep sweaters neatly folded and together. Ensure your sweaters are never stored for a long period without being laundered as moths and other insects are attracted by body odors. As we enter winter check for worn or damaged sweaters that you no longer like or will wear. Donate those now to a worthy cause. Wear what you love & rock your winter sweaters!

With Fall upon us, it’s a great time to declutter those shoes and boots that you’ll never use; to repair any footwear that needs a little attention and to organize storage solutions that will keep your shoes in great condition and readily available. You’ve invested a lot of money in your shoes and boots, a simple shoe rack, hanging canvas caddies or even something as simple as a photo of the shoe attached to the end of the shoe box will make your life easier and your footwear happier!

Get those Coupons, Receipts & Gift Cards organized! Clipping coupons to save your family some money makes sense… especially in these tough economic times! Remembering to use those coupons and gift cards is sometimes another story. An easy way to get started organizing is with a great filing system. Once you get it started, you’ll be amazed at how much money you can save!

When was the last time you looked through your belts or ties? You know how quickly you can get rid of old belts and ties? If you have belts that go back a waist size or two, it’s time to let it go! Let me know how easy it is for you to get rid of this clutter and photo replies are encouraged!

The truth is we wear the same belts over and over again.  Why?  Because many of the belts that are in our closets don’t fit us anymore or have gone out of style! That’s the truth.  Step one is to clear out those belts you no longer wear.  Step two is to get those belts out of an overstuffed drawer and use some vertical space to hang them.  When it comes to ties, check to see which ties are in the back of the closet.  My guess is that some of them have been there since the 1990s (if not before).  Clearing out the ties you no longer wear, and then storing the ones you do wear neatly will make getting dressed that much easier.  Check out some of these great solutions for belt and tie storage – I’m sure you’ll find something there that will help!
