Linen Closet Organization Update

I took a couple hours and organized my linen closet and boy was I tired. I folded all the towels, sheets etc. in the same way so they will neatly sit on the shelves and in the baskets.

Here is a before picture incase you forgot. Lol

Here are the different baskets I purchased from ikea. I had a gift card so I made my way over there to the home organization department. The small baskets were about $7 and the larger ones were $14

Here is my closet now. I still need more containers for my hair stuff. This was overall an easy task, only thing to pay attention to is symmetry, and neatness. Lol

Linen Closet Organization

This week I am on a mission to organize my linen closet. I think this is the hardest task to do next doing organic chemistry homework! lol. No not really but pretty freakin close! I researched ways on how to fold a fitted sheet, towels, and types of storage containers to place in a linen closet. Ultimately, I want my closet to look like one of those staged homes you tour when looking at new homes. lol.

Below are step by step instructions on how to properly fold a fitted sheet:

One way to fold a towel long ways:

End result on how I want my linen closet to look:

One step I will eventually do is to have only 2-3 colors of towels and wash clothes, it makes the closet look neater. 

Here is a view of my current closet situation. I know I should be ashamed of myself! Smh

I will update on this closet as soon as I can get some organizing materials and time. 

Contour, Contour, Contour

Good afternoon wonderful people!!

I passed by Sephora the other day and couldn't help but walk in. So what I ended up buying was the contour kit by Anastasia Beverly Hills in the color tan. I jumped on the band wagon. Lè sigh. lol. So far I am playing around with the different highlighters and contour colors. I will say it does slightly brighten up my face and creates depth and definition. But at $40 per pallet you are investing a lot. But it will last you a long time. I wanted to purchase a powder contour kit because the oil base kits might have been harder to blend for a novice contour like myself. My friend who is a make up stylist recommended this product for me. Overall I would recommend this product!!  

Spa day, Red Door Spa

Recently I made a trip to Elizabeth Arden, Red Door Spa to get pampered. The sitting/ lounge area was very tranquil and nicely decorated. Upon entering the spa I was greeted by employees asking my name and with whom I had the appointment. I was led to this sitting area and offered either infused cucumber or lemon water and hot tea. I was called into one of the rooms to have my services completed.

Overall my experience was wonderful and I would defiantly be returning to have other spa services done!! Also look out for spa week in you local areas. Usually it is sometime in the spring between March and May.

Tea Time!

Good Evening wonderful people! I had the opportunity to attend a tea in Philly. It was such a great 

opportunity. Sitting out in the garden with a gorgeous hat and yummy finger food. I also have a thing for wearing gloves. I think in another life I lived in the 40s-60s, lol. Any who have fun exploring!

Traveling to the "Big Apple"

A couple of years ago a made a trip up to Jersey to visit my grandmother, and while I was there 

stopped in New, York City  to do some sightseeing. It was 2010, in July. A sweltering summer, me 

and some friends backed a book bag full of frozen water and snacks and toured around all the 

mainstream areas.
