Organisation & Storage Ideas | Intro

-
I've decided to start a new feature or series, should I call it, where I share some of my hints and tips for organising. Im a neat freak, I love things having their own spot, everything being accessible it makes life so much more efficient.

Now by no means am I an expert. These are my ideas on organisation. Every fortnight I'll break down parts of the wardrobe with organistation ideas. If there is any more sections you can think of or any more ideas that you can contibute then please do!

I love seeing how other people store things and what works for them and their lifestyle. Something that may be obvious to one may have slipped to mind of another. Sharing this only makes us more efficient. I like to go on Pinterest and Google looking at different organisation pictures and posts.

With each of these posts when organising start with a small area or group of items. Anything else is too over whelming. I suggest to always asses the amount of space and type of storage you have. Really understand whats practical for what you have. Either there is limited space and tight storage or there is more vertical space.

For clothes, this is the best time to purge and get rid of clothes that you may wear for that occasion that is yet to happen over the past 2 years since you brought it. Or that top that sits at the bottom of your drawer that you haven't worn can probably be donated to the salvos.

Think about the use of open buckets/ bins on existing shelves, in small spaces. Also the utilisation of under the bed storage. Additional shelves higher on the wall. More vertical space can benefit from hangers and even the in built wardrobe systems. You want the space to work for you and make your life that much quicker. If not searching for a scarf for example may end up a chore and something you'll avoid.

Look at various storage and organisation stores for ideas of what to use for storage, though I much prefer to use what is already lying in the house. Search for specific areas on the web. Know how specific fabrics/ products are to be stored properly.

I hope this series is enjoyable and something can be gained from it! I love helping people and I hope this is what this series does :)

Innoxa Organic Brightening Eye Creme

-
Packaging: Opaque white plastic squeeze tube with a twist off cap. The nib is fine and 2mm wide. The packaging has elements of green and brown to tie in with the organic line. It's defiantly durable and travel friendly. The cap has caused me some fussing when it hasn't twisted on evenly the first go. I like being able to cut the tube open to get every ounce of product out. Smell/Taste: None. Colour: White, blends out clear. Formula/ Texture: This is a thin and smooth lotion. It's easily applied and absorbed into the eye area without any greasy film or tackiness. The formula contains aloe vera, avocado, macadamia and rosehip oil meaning it's going to soothe, nourish and soften the eye area.  It defiantly hasn't caused any skin irritations or redness.  No sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, silicones, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or TEA's. The rosehip, olive, coconut and macadamia oils help reduce the appearance of fine li...

Benefit Benetint

Packaging: Small clear tube with white screw lid with brush tip applicator. Smell: None. Colour: Ruby red colour. Light coverage/ sheer pigmentation with a natural finish. On the cheeks it is a lot more sheered out and is more pink looking. Texture/ Formula: This is a quite runny and thin. It absorbs and sinks into the skin quite quickly. So it must be applied onto one cheek at a time, blending it immediately. This is my first tint so I had a hard time adjusting to the application method as I ended up with blotches of tint that no powder could fix. A small amount goes a long way. I do use my fingers to apply this and the blending is easier then a brush. This does leave a slight stain on my fingertips. It does have an amazing longevity of 12hrs+, which is what a tint is known for. This can be increased more topped with a powd...

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I got this sample size from The Champions of Bronze kit. Packaging: Shiny gunmetal wand handle with a gunmetal tube. The wand as long plastic bristles with a spiked ball at the end of it. This ball utilises the end of the mascara wand and reaches into the smaller lashes in the inner corner of the eye. Smell: Just the usual mascara smell. Colour: Black. Opaque pigmentation. Formula/ Texture: This is more of a wet mascara but with a really thin scraper that doesn't leave any clumps of mascara on the wand. It's a thinner wand which made applying it easy. I wasn't going through my lashes trying to separate my lashes and then add volume then back to separating a clump. Theres no flaking or transferring. It's is easily removed with makeup wipes. I have average length lashes that have a very slight natural curl to them, so I want a mascara that does it all- volume, length and curl. I always curl my lashes before mascara applicati...
