Fashionista Ring Organization

If you are like me and love wearing fashion rings, organizing and storing them is probably a challenge. I started thinking, “How are rings displayed when I buy them?” Most of the time they are in these display boxes or cases.  I did a little research and was able to find a ring display box that fit inside of my dresser drawer on Ebay and the best part, it was only $3!  

If you own several rings and are looking for a way to store and organize them, purchase a ring display box that is big enough to fit the number of rings you have from Amazon or Ebay, put it where you store your jewelry or in a drawer and there you have it!

5 Steps to Organization for Busy People

Getting organized is probably one of the hardest things to do mainly because we already have habits that are hard to break, especially when you live a busy life.  Start with one room, space or project at a time and do the following:

1.  Get Specific

Get very specific when it comes to cleaning and organization even if it is something small.  For example instead of saying “I need to clean my livingroom” say “I need to find a better way to organize my DVD collection or go through all of the mail on my coffee table”. Doing something easy and immediate gets you organized faster.  Also, its often times fun and more motivating when its something specific that you have in mind that needs to be done.  

2. Throw Away

This probably the easiest and most obvious, things that need to be thrown away are easily spotted and stand out.  Grab a trash can and get going.  Also, dig in a little further and comb through every drawer, nuc and cranny and throw away anything that is no longer of use to you.  

3. Put items back where they should go

That can opener on the coffee table, socks in the livingroom, food outside of the kitchen, etc.  Look around and if anything is out of place put it where it should belong immediately and try to put things where they belong immediately after use, it cuts back on clutter.

4.  Label

You dont want to have to ask “What is This” when it comes to your own things.  Labeling items that you store or use regularly helps you to identify them and access them quickly.  If you dont have actual sticker labels, you can use index cards/paper with tape and a pen or marker.  

5.  Keep it organized

This is also hard to do because of those habits again but, once you organize a space just try your best to keep it that way by practicing and making the aforementioned things a habit.  

Keep in mind, you dont have to be perfect when it comes to organization.  Just making small changes can lead to big improvements in your overall lifestyle.  If you have any questions or need ideas feel free to contact me.  

Happy Organizing!

Index Card Shoebox Organization

Like it or not, shoeboxes will always be a part of our life, at least for now.  I got very tired of looking at the eyesore of shoeboxes that made me reluctant to get certain pairs or even go in my closet at times. To get rid of this “tower of tragedy” I came up with a very simple and quick way 3 Step Way to organize my shoeboxes using index cards.  

1- Arrange your shoeboxes on top of each other in a way that is visually appealing.  This will vary depending upon the number of shoeboxes you have and space

2- Make a note of the shoes that you have and write the shoe description on the index card

**Suggestion: Use colored markers or pencils to make it pop and use whatever

description necessary that will help you to know exactly what pair of shoes they are as soon as you read the index card.  Example: the shoes that I wore on my wedding day, I wrote “Wedding Shoes” on the index card

3- Tape the index card to the outside of the shoebox and Viola!
