Blogging Day 273: Go Check Out Your Local Borders NOW!

As everyone knows, Borders is closing. A friend mentioned they were selling their shelves for 3/$100, so my family and I went to check it out. Also, the lure of books being up to 60% off was a pretty sweet deal. 

We ended up not buying  the selves because the lean and it would look awkward, but I found this instead:

It cost $58 something. I'm going to use it to organize my make-up and other things. As soon as I am done I will show you. WISH ME LUCK!

Blogging Day 303: Tokidoki & Sephora Shoppin'

 Needed a few essentials from Sephora and these are the extras that I bought!

This is the Adieu Chromatic Palette by Tokidoki. I had been in Sephora a couple of weeks ago and saw this and feel in love with the colors.

I can not get enough of Tokidoki's art. Very anime like, along with a bit of creepy. Which in essence is anime.

It comes with a cute little charm. I wanted the pink one that came with another set, but... alas I liked the colors on this one much better.

So PRETTY!!!! 

Colors:

Carina         Ciao Ciao

Adieu           Al Dente 

I would have chosen different names, but oh well!

Al Dente - Adieu - Ciao Ciao - Carina

I like the purple sparkles in the Al Dente black.

Next thing I bought is a make-up case. I think it will be perfect for the cruise.

I'm not a fan of the brown, white and black. They had a pink one, but as it was on clearance they were all sold out.

It uses magnets, not snaps or Velcro, to close.

Unfolded you can see the three compartments.

I left the stuff stuffing inside to show where the compartments are.

The middle bag is Velcroed on and can be removed to where you can store your make-up brushes with a plastic protection flap.

On top there is a little mirror that also can be removed.



The hanger folds over nicely when folding it back up.

I think the cool thing about this is that I can either fold it and store, or hang it up in a closet.

Anyway, that's it. Not a major shopping trip, which during the summer I'm not willing to do. Way to much stuff to do!

Water: Check!

Veggies: Radishes, Grapes, Salad, check!

Blogging Day 220: I Hate Cleaning My Room!

I can not stand cleaning my room! It is a very annoying task, but unfortunately a necessity. My room is a project that I will be working on for eternity.

Plus, once you clean everything, you never find anything! Before, everything was all over the place, on the floor, on the chair, on the dresser, hanging off the lamp ,and now that you have put everything away, you can no longer have a visual of what you currently own. The insanity of it all!

It doesn't help either that I clean up in spurts. Half of my room will be clean and the other half will be a complete dump. Then the next week, when the the clean side has turned into a dump, I clean the dump part so it is clean. I can never clean my room all in one go. It is impossible. I wonder what Frued would say about that.

Either way, I'm working on one of the halves of my room today, kinda sorta. I've put a little effort into it. Just a tiny bit. A very ting wee bit. Ever since I decided to clean my room I've remembered a thousand of other things that I need to do. Like, get caught up on 'Being Human', homework or picking out an outfit for a wedding I'm attending. 

*sigh*

Life is so complicated sometimes ;op

DON'T FORGET TO BECOME A FOLLOWER. AS OF THIS MOMENT YOU HAVE A 1:5 CHANCE OF WINNING HELLO KITTY MAC LIPSTICK!!

Veggie/Water: I did 3 servings of fruit and 5 glasses of water. Still not where I want to be everyday, but I'm getting back into the motion of eating healthy. It's hard!

Blogging Day 164: Found Awesome Craft Organizer!

I was wondering around Walmart and look what I found for $19.99!

I found this in the tool isle, and I almost missed it but I noticed something purple (I know it looks more purple blue but it is a lilac purple) in a very male tool box yellow and black isle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tool box is basically made up of three different size removable boxes.

Measurements:

Large: 4" x 3"

Medium: 3" x 2"

Small: 2" x 1.5"



Under side of the organizers.



The boxes have tiny little feet and with the concaved circles on the bottom spaced out all over for the tiny boxes, you can organizer the different sizes anyway you wish.

The top also has little notches to keep the boxes in place.

I did a test to see how tight the close was with sequins. Basically, I closed it up and shaked it a bit and as you can tell, the lid does not close that tight.

This is what I ended keeping in the organizer. I still have the sequins in the here, but only until I can figure out how else I can better store them. Until then I will be putting it away lying down, probably under my dresser.

Let me know if you guys have any ideas on how to store sequins!

Veggie/Water: STUPID STUPID STUPID STUPID! I was so bad this weekend. I didn't even think about it! It drives me up the wall that I forget. Finally listening to a friend of mine, I am going to be writing it down in a pad that I will keep with me 24/7.

Blogging Day 154: Organizing with Hangers

I have a lot of clothes in my closet, mainly from items I sell on ebay. I have been looking for a way to condense them. These are two ideas that I have come up with.

 

I found the hangers below in a store where they sell things that are sold on TV. I bought them a long time ago, and forgot how much I paid for them. Later on, I was at a dollar store and saw them being sold there. I would look for them there first if you are thinking about buying them.

It allows you to have five garments on one hanger. Then it drops down (see below), allowing you more space to hang things up in your closet.

 

The next hanger is better for smaller items. I found this one at the dollar store, also. There is a little air fresher on top( reason for the diagonal design). The smell does not last long, but it just a foam pad, so I just sprayed some of my favorite perfume on it to refresh my closet.

I use these to hang my belts, but you could use them to hang your bras, tank tops, purses, or anything else that you can think of.

These are two simple changes on my journey to organizing and condensing my items into tinier spaces. Hope they are helpful to you.

Veggie/Water: Veggie is good, but the water I left at home. Oppsie! I only got three glasses.Better tomorrow.

Oh, and we are expecting an inch of snow tonight. Should be interesting to see what the roads look like tomorrow morning.

Blogging Day 153: Blah.. Blah... Blah...

I have just come out of a weekend of being sick. Saturday was ok, Sunday it started to hit and by Monday I was down for the count. This morning I woke up and looked outside at the sheet of ice that was covering everything, and I mean everything. I thought, for just a moment, that maybe being sick for just one more day wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Of course I did go to work, even though I went in about two hours late. I do not mind driving in the snow, but ice is another story all together. I waited for the streets to have the consistancy of a slurpee, and drove to work. The roads were not the worse part, it was the shards of ice coming off of other cars and flying towards your car at 60+ mph that scared the stuffings out of me. To my relief, I made it alive and slaved away for the man.

This past week I have been organizing my room. With goals to be out of the house this Fall, I have been figuring out ways to shrink my room storage. I am very spoiled in how much space I have in my room at my parent's house. I have my sleeping area and then I have a side room, which I call my walk in closet. Tons of space for tons of stuff!

I have found some very cool ways to condense all my junk into tiny spaces, and I will be posting them as the week goes by.

IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY TIPS ON ORGANIZING A ROOM, LET ME KNOW!!!

This task is a Herculean feat and I need all the help I can get! All help is appreciated!

Veggie/Fruit: Did good today. I have found if I have sugar-free caramel with my apples, it is a less painful to eat an apple.  I do not like plain apples. Ick! But having just a tiny bit of caramel makes it a nice treat and not a very costly one either.  You guys can find sugar-free carmel in the ice scream topping section or a different kind in your fruit section at your grocery store. I am currently using the Smuckers Sugar Free Caramel.
I didn't post it yesterday, because I was sick, but I gained .6lbs this week. I know why, I ate out alot last week at work.  I will definately have to cut back on that in the future.
