3 things Thursday - Emotional Clutter

New year, new you. Here are some things to let go of in 2019. Y'all know I'm always talking about space. And clutter. and stuff. But really, clutter can be anything holding you back from what you want to accomplish or how you want to live your life. Here are a few items that you can leave in 2018. 1) Negativity- I read a post the other day that said something to the effect of "start interrupting anxious thinking and negative self-talk with thoughts like 'what if it all works

3 things Thurs: Printed Photos!

I'll go into more detail in this on my segment on Good Afternoon Arkansas this afternoon - so TUNE IN. But here are the basics - 3 of them to be exact. Enjoy! As we get closer to the holidays many of us will be taking some time off. I love to fill a good chilly day at home with a project, so the holidays are the perfect time to do a little photo organizing. Not only is having your photos organized great for being able to put your finger on that crazy picture of Uncle Joe at

3 things Thurs: Local online life hacks!

Yo yo yoooo. So last Three things Thursday I spread some love on my local service haunts that make my life easier. Today I'll focus on some local ONLINE haunts that make life easier. Again - no affiliate links today - I truly love these resources. 1) The Little Rock Power Women Started by realtor Claire Brown as a resource for questions from "how do I launch a business" to "how do I get my kid to eat vegetables?" and everything in between, this Facebook group grew from a few

Did y'all watch? :) CHECK IT! In case you didn't get to tune in, click the pic to see my last segment on Good Afternoon Arkansas on desk organization! Now back to today's topic - we have been back in Arkansas for about 2 years now and I am STILL so happy to be here. Yes, sometimes I miss the hustle and bustle of NYC life and my super fun career in fashion, but at the end of the day, I'm much happier back in my home state being my own boss and meeting and helping new people ev

Check it here: 1) Papers: Are they piled and messy on your desk? Only papers that are pertinent to your current work should be at hand. And y'all know

Falling for Fall. The change in the weather means a few changes for your organizing game... Bring out the jackets and coats, and in some areas, get out the cold weather gear. Check in on your garage so you can fit your car(s) inside, and store all the beach balls and swimmies. It's about time to time to curl up with a good book and a warm cup of soup. 1) Entryway update Too many jackets hanging on top of each other in my entryway make me a little cray cray. I love this oversi

Organizing must haves for under $10.00! Organizing doesn't have to be expensive... You can spend a ton to have your pantry look like a Kardashian space, but you don't have to. I try to keep products as inexpensive as possible without losing the integrity of aesthetic. Y'all know I talk about Ikea Skubbs ALL the time - so here are a few other under $10.00 items I like to use in my sessions (and in my own home). 1) IKEA VARIERA $4.50 ea There is a whole collection at Ikea call

It's getting hot in here, so please fold all yo' clothes... So y'all know I am a big fan of Marie Kondo. I've read her books and although they are not satirical - she basically cracks me up with her relationship to "things". I remember laughing out loud on the subway solo one morning (yes, like a crazy person) while reading her book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up. She was stressing how she folds all of her clothes vertically in her drawers and "files" them. And I was a

So what are you waiting for? I have found myself mentioning to several clients and friends this week that at one point, when I launched my business, I hired a life and business coach. For me, it was one of the best things I could have done for myself to launch my business (and to continue to grow and launch other businesses, check out my web design, and virtual styling at Wardrobe Rx). Sometimes you know what you need to do, but you need to have someone give you a little guid

Closets, closets and more closets. I'm writing this on a Wednesday night. As of this moment - I have organized 4 closets in 48 hours (and a kitchen... and a pantry). BOOM. What have I found myself repeating? Here are three highlights. 1) If you don't declutter, you are just moving your stuff around: You MUST declutter to organize. Find out what doesn't serve you. Remember that your closet should be your own private VIP party. Only friends who make you feel great and lift you

Favorite things from this week. Do little things just make you happy? Perhaps I'm just easily amused, but it's the little stuff that can really push me into a better mood. And it's important to stop and recognize them. Here are 3 things that brought me joy this week. I hope they can bring you some too. 1) Life hacks from clients: I worked with an awesome client this week who was dropping life hack bombs left and right. One of my favorites was the "yak blanket".

Garage, or Gae-raj if yo British. I don't know why we all choose the hottest days of Summer to organize our Garages, but let me tell you, we all do. I have been sorting, editing, donating and organizing garages for the past 2 weeks (including my own!). It's like hot yoga for organizers I guess? Definitely getting those steps in! Here are some tips on getting your garage in order this summer. 1) Plan for at least a full day (a weekend would be best): Even a single car garage c

Randomness! So even though I try to ALWAYS store like with like in ye ole blogge, sometimes the category of Three Things Thursday is just random new stuff that I'm excited about. I thank you for not hatin'! 1) I started a New Facebook Group (eeeeee!): I recently discovered a FB group called "Get busy sister" and it's all about women motivating others to clean their homes. I know it sounds silly, but seeing other people's messes and knowing that we all share the struggle has h

Photos! Almost every client that I work with has boxes upon boxes of "old" photos. Some clients have photos scattered in stacks in every single room, some are in albums, and some have rolls yet to be developed. And of course now we all have digital photos. WHAT TO DO WITH ALL OF IT? It can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to reduce your collection to those photos that you truly cherish and how to digitize those photos to be available to you forever. 1) Purge: Back in the d

TOYS! Do you have kids? Do they have toys? That's a joke, because of course they have toys, lots and lots of painful to step on toys. If you don't have children, you can keep reading for tips to give your slovenly parent friends on how to organize their overabundance of toys..also, you may have pets with toys, so there is that. 1) Do a family purge: I say this all the time - organizing without decluttering is just moving stuff around. So get together with your brood, take out

How's dat fridge looking? The fridge takes a lot of abuse. Open, close, open, stare, close, open. Stuff gets shoved in after a meal. SOMEHOW the jelly inevitably ends up on the bottom of the jelly jar and gets smeared around the glass shelving. I know, it defies logic. And all of those tupperwares in the back just condensating with disappointment. So how do you make your fridge as tidy as your house? Here are some tips. 1) Lazy Susans: I don't know why they call her lazy - th

Cleaning hacks and e-mail list glitches. Glitch happens. Sooooo due to a web-based computer glitch, my beautifully 2-year cultivated list of About Space e-mail recipients merged with my regular contact list, so my e-mail recipients now include my drycleaner and a boss from 2002, among others who probably don't care about 3 things Thursday (I know, #rude). So after carefully picking through over 900 contacts to try to decide who actually signed up and who did not, I hope this
