Nesting Phase!

HOLY COW, I had zero energy for anything today EXCEPT organizing. All I want to do is clean and organize! I can't remember the last time I felt THIS motivated to do anything.

Yesterday I looked up some fantastic lists (I LOVE lists!) for an organized and thorough approach to decluttering, organizing, and cleaning the ENTIRE house. This morning I woke up 2 hours before my alarm and decided to swing by the store before work... anyone else feel giddy in the "Storage" section of the store?! Nope? Just me? I scoped out what tools were available to feed my new organizing fetish ;-)

When I got to work I couldn't FUNCTION until I at least organized my top drawer. *WHEW* Luckily that was enough of a fix to get me to my lunch break. 

 At lunch I went home and dabbled in a quick project trying this nifty trick that I saw on Pinterest. Fail! Apparently this trick doesn't work with a plastic hanger. 

These nifty tricks worked like a charm and they are easy-peasy - put items in a basket to make them look orderly and use a clip to hold your phone charging cord in place on your nightstand! Sweet. I couldn't believe how much stuff I CRAMMED in that tiny drawer. I finally found the hair tie and bobby pin gremlins' hiding spot! It was a bit of an adventure... I even found one kernel of popped popcorn -what the heck?

After work I picked out some new staples to organize my bathroom cabinet shelves!

1. Holds hair dryer and curling iron

2. Perfect place to set frequently used items that need to be accessible

3. These little crates consolidated my surplus items, polish accessories, and some oils.

4. Drawers were used for make-up brushes that I rarely use, rarely worn make-up, and hair accessories. 

 Before & After

I also managed to do a phase one on my bedroom closet.... but I'll have to bat clean-up on that another day ;-) Why does this overwhelming urge come now that my belly is large enough that bending over and squatting down is more difficult :-/ I guess it didn't really matter though, because I was DETERMINED!
