You’re not saving money on the gallon jar of mayo unless you use it before it expires. Don’t get so excited over the good deal that it overtakes logic. If your pantry isn’t huge, stick to bargains you deplete quickly, like toilet paper, not 10/$10 deals.

Are your clothes stashed in the dark abyss of your closet? Open shelving and cubbies are a solution. Exposing your attire will curb impulse buys. No open slot? No purchase.
Perhaps your closet doors make it impossible to reach in and grab what you need. Consider a small redo of the doors.
Wallpaper, colorful paint or wall mirrors can give your closet a huge lift and lift your spirits too!
There is only so much a closet can hold. Use the space outside your closet, an empty corner, a wall section and stage a dressing spot. A small accent table can hold costume jewelry, hats and even attractive totes or handbags. Decorative wall hooks are a problem solver too! Always keep these areas tidy!
Seasons change and it’s time for a closet make-over!
Work on the infrastructure… move a shelf lower to fit tall bags, or add an LED closet rod to light up a dark corner.
Keep your most-used handbags on hooks in the center of the closet, and change them out seasonally, like rotating merchandise in a store
Haven’t worn it for a year? Waiting for it to fit? Time to purge.
Buying new? Don’t add it… replace it. Your wardrobe may be growing, but your closet space is not… before making that purchase, think… ”where in the closet will it fit and what am I replacing?”
Weed out the one-hit wonders. Give yourself permission to let go of that item you purchased for a certain event and will never wear again.
Buy season-less styles with dress-up/dress-down potential. A sleeveless silk top and tailored black pants work great for both formal fetes & cocktail parties, especially when paired with metallic accents.
“The beauty of the house is order. The blessing of the house is contentment. The glory of the house is hospitality.”
“If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say: the house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer the house allows one to dream in peace.”
“We shape our dwellings, and afterwards our dwellings shape us.”
“Home interprets heaven: home is heaven for beginners… is yours?”
“A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.”
“A thousand days at home are a pleasure; an hour away from home is a trial.” Can you say this about your home?
