Do you have a spare button or two?

Collections sometimes do accidentally happen. Collections of marketing pens, collections of makeup samples, collections of spare buttons. They sneak up on you with their ‘I could be useful one day’ vibe and their ‘I’m so small, I won’t take up too much space’ promise. But once they group together they become problematic.

Jewellery heaven – organising effectively

Organising jewellery is time effective I love accessories. Bangles. Necklaces. Earrings. Rings. I love them all. They complete my outfits and they often collect me the most compliments. To easily put them together, I believe organising jewellery is the most effective way to plan an outfit. For the past five years I have used this […]

Organising Makeup

I used to go to the gym in the morning, get ready in the gym’s shower room and head straight to work. To do this I would take my toiletries and cosmetics with me in a spacious toiletry bag which I didn’t unpack between gym days. Even though I now go to the gym in […]

I heart Chemist Warehouse

I recently had to buy antibiotics from a regular chemist. It wasn’t till later that I realised how much I had forked over for said antibiotics as I was a) not thinking straight and b) just really grateful for the medication. These ones cost me $22.10.

You know you’re an organising geek when…

Your guilty pleasure is to stroll the aisles of OfficeWorks on your way home from work. I adore it. I feel inspired and there is no aisle I don’t like. I like looking at the new products and new colour ranges of notebooks and writing utensils. I also like the way the store rearranges the […]
