My drawers were always overflowing with clothing until I undertook to reorganize them via the KonMari method. There I learned how useful it really is to fold clothes in that singular way, and not much more effort!

A crocheted chain in the bathroom.
Revamping the BathroomUsing what I had and spending zero money, I improved the bathroom in my home by making things uncluttered and rearranged. I had an etegere' I sold, took all the crowded medicine out of the glass sliding mirrored cabinet, crocheted for about an hour and, voila!

A marked roll of tape, ready for next time.
Paper Clip Tape MarkerFinding the end of a roll of tape sometimes would consume too much of your time. I have tried folding the end so that it won't stick back as you roll it, but still forget to do that after using the tape. So, I searched on Google and found this very quick and easy way to mark it.

Bathroom cabinet with decorations inside medicine cabinet with the doors removed.
Make Your Bathroom Cabinet PrettyI have a ton of room in my bathroom for medicine and such. Hiding it all behind mirrored doors that often didn't close properly was a pain. So today I decided to combine what I had on my cabinet shelf on top and on the counter to inside and on top of the cabinet itself.

How to Organize Stickers and StencilsSome of my favorite hobbies include scrapbooking, crafting, and creating games using stickers, stencils, & confetti. I had a big problem of not being able to keep my items organized. It seemed I could never find a way that lasted.

Keep Track of Your Makeup
Keep Track of Your MakeupI use a lot of coupons. As a result of this, I get makeup for free or very inexpensively. I used to keep everything in one large bag, but it was hard to see what I had. I now separate my makeup into individual makeup bags. You can also use plastic zip-top or slider bags as well. I now can easily see how much of each type of makeup I have, and, if I'm running low, can keep my eye out for a good sale.

Use a Notebook to OrganizeWhen we get too busy with things, we tend to forget our priorities. This is when we need to take down notes for our activities. Take note of your paid and unpaid bills, make a checklist of your activities, a checklist on things you want to buy and list down things that makes you more productive.

rolls of paper in upside down stool
Storing Rolls of PaperOf all the items in your craft area, rolls of paper are one of the most difficult to store. Because they are so long and thin it is hard to find a place where they will fit and they easily fall over, unravel, roll around, and get creased.
