I’ve Been Organizing the Container Store Way

January 11, 2013

I’ve been organizing…  Or should I say reorganizing…  Or attempting to get organized?

I adore a well organized work space.  This is especially true of my bathroom cabinets, drawers and vanity.  I admit that I’m a hoarder of beauty and makeup products.  I usually get myself organized and then a few months later everything is a big mess once again.

We had a few rainy and cold days here in Texas this week, so I figured it was the perfect time to stay indoors and get this done.  I started off by running into The Container Store and purchasing a set of drawers on wheels.  My unit has two shallow top drawers and a deep bottom drawer.  These will be used to store my overflow of items.  I also purchased many clear boxes with lids to put the items in first.  As the sales associate at the Container Store said, “We buy things to organize our organization.”


Let me also take a minute to say that the sales associates at my local store were superb in their customer service skills.  They answered every question I had and took extra time to help me.  I probably had 5 different ladies ask to help me during my visit there.  I’ve even been back to buy a few more containers.  I could probably go back every day.  LOL!  It’s just one of those stores that I love to shop in.

Container Store Elfa Drawers

I bought a drawer unit similar to the one pictured above.  Mine is shorter since it had to fit under my vanity.  However, I had casters put on it so that I could roll it around and move it when needed.  I’m in love with it already!  It fits so many of my products.  I am purging as I go through everything as well, so it’s taking me a little extra time to get everything done.

I have spent a few hours each day to complete this task with many sanity breaks in between.  I’m getting there…  I will take pictures and film a video when I am finished.

By the way…  at this point in time all Elfa products are on sale at 30% off!!  Not sure when the sale ends, but I may be going back for more.

*This is not a sponsored post.  I paid for all products mentioned with my own money.

Some handbags are just handbags… and then there ar Some handbags are just handbags… and then there are the ones that feel like a piece of art. #consuela_partner 

I’m loving the Bae City Bag from Consuela! It’s a fun statement piece, but it’s also incredibly versatile. I especially love wearing it crossbody when I want to be hands-free.

And knowing this bag is handcrafted in Mexico with attention given to every detail makes it feel even more special. Every @ConsuelaStyle bag has so much personality and character. 

If you’re already thinking about your Fall wardrobe, you definitely want to take a peek at the Consuela Fall Collection. There are SO many gorgeous bags and accessories to choose from that are fun and functional.

Go check out the collection and tell me which bag is your favorite!

I’ve been using the NEW RoC Line Smoothing 2-Step Peel Pads, and I love how simple they are to use.
 
Step 1 gently exfoliates with a blend of glycolic, lactic, mandelic, and other exfoliating acids to remove dull, rough skin.
 
Step 2 follows with RoC’s patented Clinical Retinol plus Ectoin to help smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles while supporting your skin barrier. The best part? It takes just a couple of minutes and fits seamlessly into my evening skincare routine.
 
At 61, my skin feels noticeably smoother and looks brighter after using them, and with continued use they’re designed to improve texture, uneven tone, dullness, and the appearance of wrinkles.
 
At around $30 they’re an affordable way to enjoy a professional-inspired peel at home.
 
Are you as excited as I am about this new at-home dual-step treatment?

There’s something about a makeup collection that’s There’s something about a makeup collection that’s beautiful on the outside AND has a beautiful story behind it.

I’m playing with the Chantecaille Lion Collection for the first time today. The gorgeous shades are inspired by the strength and beauty of the lion and the colors of the African landscape.

But what I love most about Chantecaille is that their love of beauty goes beyond makeup. The brand has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation, and their lion initiatives supports Lion Guardians and their efforts to protect these magnificent endangered animals and preserve the communities that live alongside them.

And can we talk about these colors?! The warm, earthy tones are absolutely gorgeous for creating a soft, sophisticated makeup look — and yes, it’s a limited-edition collection but I’m already wishing these shades would stay around forever!

Would you wear this color story? Tell me in the comments.
