Reorganize Time...

Besides losing weight getting organized is the most popular New Years resolution. And let's face it we could all use a little help in this department.


While hunting for the best ways to organize my closet I have to admit just reading the posts made me tired.
Each blog kept telling me to empty out everything in my closet and start from scratch except this blog which I  found the most helpful.

Another tip which seemed a little corny but actually helped me get into more of an organized mood was sketching out my closet space. The Creativity Exchange has this handy little worksheet that includes a place to sketch out your space along with some great questions!

Throughout my digging I discovered most people of expertise tell you to organize your closet one of three ways:
1. By color- making your closet fun to look at and hopefully will inspire you to keep it that way.

2. By style- meaning all dresses together, all tops together etc in hopes of making your clothing more shoppable each morning.

3. Or finally a few blogs said to sort your clothing by activity for example: all workout gear together, all dressy clothes together and so on and so fourth. Does anyone else think that one sounds weird?

My closet currently is organized by style and I think I'm going to go for color this go round just to spice things up. How do you ladies organize your closets? I'd love to know!!  Here's to hoping my closet gets the pick me up I'm looking for!

1. Josie Moran 

    Product : 100% pure Argan oil 

- great for all skin types ( don't let the oil word mislead you ). Super great source of antioxidants / fatty acids. Use on face / hair and nails. Will give you glowing radiant skin!!!! And I swear its helped my eyelashes to grow - i always brush my closed lids with the excess that's left in my hands.  I can't love this product anymore!!!!!

 

2. Dr Dennis Gross 

 Product : Alpha beta daily facial peels

        

- two step daily process. Like a facial in a can. Contains alpha hydroxy acid to exfoliate and erase fine lines. Clears imperfections, controls oil, minimizes pores. It's good for even sensitive skin - vegan and paraben free!

3. Laura Mercier

 Product : flawless skin face polish

-Creamy face scrub.  Has tiny microbeads that are a gentle exfoliator /  Good for even sensitive skin. I use every other day - because I also use the peel pads above. Too much exfoliate will actually do the reserve and possibly cause breakouts and sensitive skin. 

 4. Garnier ( drugstore find!!)

    Product : BB cream 

- all in one face product. Acts as a primer, foundation, serum , and sunblock ( if it contains sunscreen). Great for everyday wear. can be used like a tinted moisturizer ( more coverage than a tinted moisturizer ). Cheap!!!! 

 

 5. Bobbi brown

  Product : cream blush

- it's a multi functional  item - use on cheeks and lips!! Creates a dewy flush look. Silky smooth texture. Can wear on top of bb cream or with a full face of makeup !  Color range is wide - most any skin time can use it. Apply: dot ring and index fingers in it - dot on to cheeks and blend well. Apply again for more color.
