Organizing your closet, OH NO!!!!

Hi! Raise your hand if you like organizing (commenting works too.XD)! So I thought I would do an organizing post, I myself love to clean and make things look orderly but for those that don't, here are a few ideas for making cleaning a blast!

So first, grab your phone or your MP3 player and make-up your favorite playlist...music OR audios makes the time go by waayyyy faster and you'll enjoy listening to something anyway.

Next thing to do: Get out a cleaning spray, vacuum, and a few rags (For a cleaning spray I mix plain, old, water with essential thieves oil, everything will smell great, guaranteed.).

Alright, once you got all those things together......EMPTY out your closet. Go through EACH item and ask yourself "Would I buy this at a store, would I REALLY?" If you said yes, awesome, keep it, if your answer was nope, toss or donate it to a goodwill or thrift store. You want to make your closet look good so you won't want to shut the closet door when anyone comes in, let it look like perfection. Once everything is out of your space, vacuum it efficiently and if there's spider webs (eek), definitely vacuum that up too.

Now about all your clothes, look at the pieces in good lighting or you might not notice that stain and if it is stained BEYOND oxi-clean or a good scrubbing, toss it. I would highly suggest trying on your clothing items, they might fit too small or too large....keep only the things that you wouldn't mind wearing around town, why wear your worst at home?! Once you get through your clothing pile, hang all your clothes back up on hangers or fold (or roll, that's what I do) them up nicely in your drawers. I think sticking to one color of hangers is nice but you're welcome to do multi-color.

Great job!!!! Now that all your clothes are put away I would recommend spraying a room-spray everywhere in your room and closet, *hmm-mm, it smells so good.* OR * It smells awful in here!!!!!* Which do you prefer?

Clean room~OH JOY!

Okay, now we'll get into bins. I like fabric bins WAY MORE than plastic bins and yes, they are not as cheap but they look so nice and I think they are worth it.

Great job, you are finished! You will enjoy your space so much more, when everything is clean you actually WILL have a clearer mind, when everything is ordely, you will feel organized and productive.
