Closet Makeover...

In case you missed it...

Switched out my plastic hangers for velvet hangers found at Homesense

Making it work...(new rental space with limited storage)

One night while channel surfing I caught an episode of Million Dollar Closets with LA Closet Design. In the episode Lisa does the Kardashians closets. I was super motivated(closet envy Kris!) to revamp my closet and since I recently moved what better way then to start fresh with my organization. 

I first purchased the pink hangers, but found the velvet rubbed off on my lighter clothing so ended up returning for the beige ones. While I do love how much more space I have with the streamlined hangers, I hate how they misshape the shoulder area of the tops.(would be ideal if they were not as wide.)

Also a sneak peak of my shoe closet...this was an awkward space to fill as the space didn't fit clothing so I opted for my shoes. My flats I had to pile them on top of each other, but mostly these are shoes I don't reach for often so it's not too much of a problem.

Readers any tips on organizing your closet? 

Here's what I did for my makeup revamp...

Update...New Beginnings

Hello Everyone! I apologize for being MIA this last week has been hectic, but a good hectic!

In case you missed it...

I gave birth! As I mentioned previously, 2014 will hold new and exciting paths... and a definite change in the blog. While I won't detour too much from makeup, skincare and clothes I would love to share some experiences from pregnancy and post. I know I had so many questions, and it was difficult to find resources. Also, I'd love to share baby's must haves and such! 

Other things on my mind...
I was reading this great post from Katherine, and it inspired me to declutter my makeup!
I hardly use all of my makeup and seriously have no time to get all fancy now. So in the next few weeks I'll re-evaluate and toss!

My goal is to downsize into the 2 drawer inserts seen above. (found those at Homesense on one of my shopping trips.)

I also have been wanting a clear case forever, but that just asks for more hoarding. I'll have a better idea what to look for once I declutter. But I would purchase one of these if I do:

Muji 5 drawer Acrylic Case

Muji 3 drawer Acrylic Case

I did also spot some great acrylic cases at Homesense so may return for those if the Muji's are still sold out.

That's it for now and I'll try my best to post periodically! Thank you for visiting!

Holiday Season...Xmas 2013

Happy Monday Everyone! Only 2 nights sleep until Christmas! (happy dance!!!)

Since I won't be posting on Christmas Day I thought I'd update you on what's been happening/and will happen...

Finished wrapping gifts for friends and family...

We're having Christmas Eve dinner with C's family, and on Christmas day we're having lunch with my family. Planning to make this for our Christmas Lunch Potluck...

Ina Garten Tomato Feta Pasta Salad

Salted Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies ( will update with a photo once made)

This year I also haven't done a wish list as my only wish was for an iPad mini, but I did find some great ideas for gifts. I just haven't had a chance to update a post with it, so I apologize but here are my past ones...Homesense, MAC (new version) Plus my Secret Santa fulfilled my stocking stuffer wish list this year. (the candles are beautiful if you're still stuck on ideas.)

Lastly, Wishing you and yours a Happy Holidays! If you're travelling, safe travels! And even if you don't celebrate at this time of year, I hope you at least get to have a wonderful meal shared with good company!

Recent Finds...Homesense

I was browsing Homesense recently for ideas for Christmas presents and found these...

How crazy is this??? It was 3/4 my size!

Couldn't help myself...but these would be so pretty for my room!

On a side note I'm learning a few languages from Living Language, an app I downloaded on my iPhone, these would be nice to have for those who prefer hard copies...

I did find 1 gift and gained many ideas...will be back closer to Christmas for more!
