My beloved collection of blown glass dragons guarding my window…
I discovered while cleaning this evening that my beautiful dragons were practically hidden from view by all the various odd and end decor I had on this table. As much as I loved the ships and lighthouses surrounding this case, they just had to go. Sometimes less is [...]

A good suggestion while you’re sitting at home hiding from the cold weather for the next couple of days — clean out the kitchen cabinets! It may be a daunting task, but very rewarding. If your pantry is uncluttered and full of fresh stock, it may inspire to cook healthier meals more frequently.
I’m not sure how I [...]
The Power of Lemons

I like to dabble with natural cleaners as an alternative to the expensive toxic stuff under the sink. A few posts back I mentioned Method products, and they are working wonders for my apartment. I don’t think I will ever open the door under the sink again. However, I wanted to take this one step [...]
The Method of my Madness
Posted in cleaning tips, personal space on September 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I discovered a very cool line of cleaning products while in Tar-jay (or Target for you hillbilly types) that I’d like to recommend: Method Cleaning Products.

My closet is my kryptonite; it’s practically impossible to organize. I have tons of clothes, purses, shoes, knitting materials, books, extra junk. In response, here is my shopping list for the week:

3.) Purses

5.) CDs and Movies
and of course..
Bath Products…
The moment of realization came when I discovered my towels no longer fit in the usual place under the sink. Additionally, lotion and spray bottles were appearing on my bookcase, bedroom shelves, work desk, [...]
Day 2: The Horror of Checkbook Hell

I have the worst time balancing my checkbook.
For the longest time when I was younger, I refused to have a debit card for this reason. I knew I was the type of person who would withdraw money and make purchases and tell myself in vain that I would write them down later. Now that this [...]

I’m not sure what is worse: finally recognizing all the clutter in my life or figuring out how to contain the beast.
