You don’t want to pack everything, just everything you will need. Think of the basics (toothpaste, toothbrush, deoderant, etc) and then hair care (brush, headbands, ponytail holders, curling iron, etc) Imagine everyday of your trip and how much makeup you’ll need and if your hair has to be done. Is there anyone you want to impress or want to take fun pictures of you? Then bring nicer makeup and hair care. I hope your vacation goes smoothly with all these tips!

We are starting a new series all about packing! Whether it’s for a short trip or a long one, these will help you pack!

When you are packing, you want to create the most outfits with the same pieces. Many people do a 30 day challenge with a certain amount of pieces and try to make 30 different outfits. Here are some of their results:

I tried it myself but only for my 4 day trip:

I used the same cardigan twice and used the scarf as a skirt as well.

Try this for your next vacation or just to thin out your wardrobe!
More to come!

Bathroom organization

Here are three steps to make your bathroom less cluttered!

Use a towel rack to hold headbands.

I put my towel on another rack, and I used this one to store my headbands.

Use a shoe hanger behind your drawers.

Velcro shoe storage containers on the back of a door for easy access.

Homemade necklace clips.

Glue down clothespins to a piece of wood.

Spray paint it and hang it to your wall. Now your necklaces aren’t tangled up, but are neatly displayed!

I hope this declutters your bathroom!
Sorry for the long wait between posts, we had some issues.

Cut the edges so they are either rounded or pointed. I chose pointed

20140105-135112.jpg

I’m using these for a centerpiece because they aren’t full enough to hang. More tissue paper makes it fuller so you can hang these from the ceiling. Hope this is helpful!

New Year, New Organization

Want to make this year more organized? Here are 5 ways to organize your events, plans, and notes all DIY. These are ways to use dry erase boards, magnets and every day objects into organization ways. 20131229-164006.jpg
Use a frame with decorative paper to make a dry erase board. This is similar to the DIY Christmas Countdown post. This is just a start. You can make a whole organization board with this dry erase frame. 20131229-164807.jpg Attach magnets to containers to hold dry erase markers or note papers. Magnet up notes and frames to keep it personalized. <a href="http:/20131229-165111.jpg
This one is a magnet board covered in fabric. I attached magnets to a notepad to keep notes such as grocery lists or reminders. Put a bow on a magnet to decorate it and spice it up. 20131229-165341.jpg
Make a calendar with paint swatches glued inside a room to go with any room colors. This is also a great gift.

20131229-165717.jpg
This one was more complicated, but is really fun to make. Get a cookie sheet and paint it. You can put decorative paper on the inside if you would like. Tie a ribbon on the top to hang it. Put fun magnets to hold up papers you need.
I hope these magnetic tips help you keep your life nice and neat!
Have a great 2014
