Keeping Clothes Organized

     Trying to keep clothes all in order in the closet can be a challenge from time to time! Simple tips can keep things much more organized, so nothing is never lost. 




Keep all your shoes off the floor by hanging them in a rack on the back of the door. They are super cute, come in every color, and are very reasonably priced. 


Plastic bins are huge space savers and it is really easy to keep things organized. 

Towel racks & bins work perfect to keep things away and on the wall saves tons of space. With a towel rack you can see all your necklaces and accessories. 


Here is one of the plastic bins used for storage in the closet! 


I made these cute labels for the bin above to keep things in order. 
Want a set of your own labels? Just comment on here with your contact information and I will contact you for details!

What's in my Tote?

     For all of you starting college classes this week, I have included below what you can find in my tote during school! Remember to keep organized and everything in order to avoid loosing your mind.

iPad with Case: I carry my iPad with me in its case because it's so much more portable than my laptop. The battery life is a lot longer and I'm lucky enough to have internet on it so it's usable even when I don't have wifi. The only thing I don't do on my iPad is write papers but I often have notes written on them regarding assignments I have. If I start out with a full battery in the morning it can easily last all day!

Planner: I always carry my planner with me no matter where I go. Daily for each class I fill out anything I have to do, along with due dates. I also write down my work hours on the each day and anything major along with dates bills are due I put on the monthly calendar.

Notebook: Sometimes I would rather take notes in my notebook than on my laptop so I always carry one with me, and you never know when you'll need a sheet of paper! I love the ones you can pick up at Target that are the Mead Trapper with the pocket on the front cover.

Glasses/ Contacts: I always carry my contact case with a mini bottle of solution and my glasses with me! You never know when your eyes are gonna get dry or you will need to put your contacts for a science lab.

Wallet: Don't ever leave your wallet at home, you never know when you'll need your Student ID card, license, or a few bucks to grab a coffee!

Heading Out

Hi Everyone,

     Tomorrow morning bright and early my Mom, Brother, and I will be headed to Boise, Idaho to spend a few days with my Aunt. Each summer we make the trip, and honestly it's the best days of the year. The drive is 8 hours of dessert but hey thats okay! The halfway mark is Pendleton, Oregon where we stop for diesel and shop at D&B Supply (yay for no sales tax)! Also, we will be stopping in Ontario, Oregon to look at Treasure Valley CC and hopefully find out more information about their Rodeo Team.
     I have been busy packing, and always remember to make lists so you don't forget anything or pack un needed items! Each evening I will hopefully find time to post pictures of the adventures along the way and keep you all up to date. For those of you heading off to college, Good Luck!

Until Later xoxo

Healthy Study Snacks

     Often times I find myself not studying at home in my room but at a coffee shop or Starbucks. There I find myself more driven to study, and get assignments done without as many distractions. A couple of healthy drinks include, skinny latte with sugar free vanilla and passion fruit teas without the sweetener. Greek yogurt or nonfat is a great snack for anytime of the day. Oatmeal especially from Starbucks is a great way to start the day off, and keeps you full well into the afternoon. Popcorn and Nature Valley granola bars are a great snack to keep handy and have anywhere for those unexpected study sessions.                        Stay away from vending macines and carb/ sugar filled snacks!  

xoxo Happy Studying!

Staying Organized in Class

     Classes get crazy, notes get messy but the way to succeeding is to keep as organized as possible. I want to share with you guys some of my tips, to keep as organized as possible and have a great year!

1. Use a Planner
     Write everything down, and especially due dates and times when you have study groups or work. It will help to keep you as organized as possible and give you an overall view of what your day, weeks, and months look like. If you have a long term assignment, write down a reminder for a couple weeks before it is due to keep you in check! A planner keeps are the "surprise" due dates away!

2. Make To Do List
     Trust me you will get a lot more accomplished in a day if you write down everything you need to do. During the school year I keep a notebook full of to do list for stuff regarding classes, and it has helped to keep me much more organized.

3. Use Colorful Pens & Markers
     My planner, to do list, and notebooks are all color coded! Test have one color, study groups another, and homework has its own color too. This keeps things so much more simple and then I know exactly what I am talking about all the time.

4. Keep an Organized Filing System
     The expando filing systems you can find for super cheap are great to keep things all in order, like bills, and notes for upcoming exams, mid terms, and finals.

5. Notebooks
     Give each class its own notebook for notes that will be taken in class. Trust me life becomes simpler around finals when you have all the notes in one spot!                                                        

Happy Organizing xoxo
