I’ve seen it all… the workout clothes are hard to fold, slippery, odd sizes, so the natural thing to do is stash the clean laundry in a drawer, why bother to spend time folding? But then those early morning workouts arrive and your grab and go outfits are mismatched, inside out, wrinkled, you wear the same ones over and over because they are on top, uggh! Designate a dresser drawer for the bottoms, and one for the tops. Or purchase drawer dividers to separate them. Roll the items and line them up. Put clean ones at the back and you will rotate through a fresh new look every time you go to the gym.

Ladies, scarves are lovely and fun to wear. We can loop them, tie them, knot them and drape them…. but where and how do we store them? How about a decorative bin lined with muslin for your closet shelf? Try folding the scarf in half lengthwise and rolling it from top to bottom. The scarves can be stacked in the bin, color coded or seasonally coded. Scarves will stay wrinkle free; you have more space in your drawers/closets and now you can find the doorknob! Hang your pashminas, as they are too big to roll and place those alongside your short hang clothes. That’s a wrap!
Ever wonder why your pantry or refrigerator space isn’t efficient? Cupboard shelves and refrigerators are not round, but many containers are. Why? Purchase square or rectangular containers… they are pantry space savers. Organize your fridge with odd-sized items on top shelf, eye level shelf for healthy snacks. Since the door is the warmest, a great place for condiments. Meats belong in their own special spot to avoid cross-contamination. Another tip for freshness? High producing ethylene gas products (apples, avocados, cantaloupes) should ripen outside the fridge before mixing with other greens. Once ripe they can join their fresh friends in those crisper drawers.
