    I recently found your channel, I'm moving from one state where I lived in a 3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom Condo. So as you can imagine space will be limited and you gave me so many ideas I'm sure I can use. You are so creative, thank you so much for all your help.

    im still have a long way to go on being organized but i have picked up some tips from watching your videos and i have found life to be so much easier when i find a "home" for things. I find myself not wasting time looking for things and best of all , i have stopped repurchasing the same products over and over again because i dont misplace stuff ! thanks!!

    Hi Alejandra! Thank you so much for all your videos.
    Two things: Firstly, you mentioned that your hair dryers keep breaking on you. I noticed that you had wrapped the cord around the hair dryer. This is a bad idea for two reasons. One is that if you do it too soon after use, the heat from the dryer can damage the cord. The other is that simply wrapping a cord around an appliance can cause internal damage to the cord or the connection between the cord and the appliance, and you won't be able to know anything is wrong until the device stops working. My grandpa worked in electrical and engineering type business, and he used to lovingly tell me off about winding cords around their appliances. If you do, you need to loosely drape them around the item, or loosely wind the cord around itself (instead of around the item) and use a twist tie or a velcro strap to secure it. You may find that your hair dryers live longer this way. :)
    Secondly - and others may have pointed this out already, so please excuse me if I'm repeating this - storing medication down low is dangerous if you have little ones, or if little ones visit. It only takes a moment for an adult to get distracted and a child to get into the medicines that are often brightly-coloured and look like lollies (some even taste like lollies). My sister found some mothballs when she was about eleven months old. To her, they looked like Cool Mints. They didn't taste like them, though, but by then it was too late. She had to be rushed to hospital, where they pumped her stomach and fed her charcoal to absorb anything left behind. By the time all was said and done, she looked like she had been dragged out of a fire. It was really stressful. (She's in her twenties now, so all is well. lol) Of course, you can always store medications down low, but only if you can childproof the cupboard or the container in which they are stored. Kids are quick, quiet and smart at figuring out how to get to what they want. They're like poopy ninjas who don't yet know the consequences of their actions!
    Anyway, thaks again for your wonderful videos. They help inspire me to keep going on my own organising mission!

    Omg. I need these videos in my life, Im so glad I randomely found them! You are awesome, and I go to dollar tree all the time. And I get called a clean freak, OCD...etc because I like to stay organized. And these tips are so so great for helping me re-organize my apartment since we've added our daughter to the mix, we are running out of room. But I feel like all these organizing videos will do us a world of good at giving us some more space back! (-: thank u soooo much!

  • @VeronicaAlsina
    @VeronicaAlsina 11 лет назад +7

    Great ideas! Thanks! Here's my 2-cents' worth: Keeping medications in a bathroom is a bad idea if that room gets very hot, from when you shower. Same thing with perfumes and makeup; the heat will ruin them. Also, I'd mark the expiration dates on your pills boldly so you never take old meds.

    @sazennonumber 10 лет назад +1

    Love your videos and your happy personality! I have a small bathroom and what solved most of my problems was a canvas shoe holder. It is hanging on my bathroom door on hooks I bought at a dollar store. It is not see-through and that's wthat I wanted, but you can lable each pocket if you wish. You can put everything in there.. mine has 20 pockets and I think I also bought it at a dollar store (can't remember, it wa a long time ago). And for under the sink cabinet, I bought larger plastic units with drawers for my make-up and it works great for me. I even had enough space to put another open container on top of the drawers for some other stuff. Now, my bathroom is all neat and tidy and easy to clean. :) Hope my solution will help some of you out there! Keep 'em coming, Alejandra!

    @arosencrantz18 9 лет назад

    Hi Alejandra, great use of vertical space. I also have those stacking bins, and I found another product at Dollar Tree that I can use with them. Its called a bacon rack. It's a rectangular plate that I found in white or light green(it might come in other colors I'm not sure) that if you turn it upside down it sits on top of the stacking brackets to make one more layer!

    @YT4Me57 11 лет назад

    I have a small rolling cart in my bathroom for items I need to put hands on often (a decorative bag for hair articles for example). Outside the bathroom, opposite the door, I have a slim (it doesn't get in the way of movement) metal cabinet that I store all those same type items she put under the cabinet. The cabinet matches the color of the walls so it doesn't look out of place in the hallway. Home Goods is a great place to find something that fits your space needs. Hope this helps.

    I wish we had dollar trees here :( my house would be sooooo organised! I buy a bunch of stuff off ebay but I would love love love to to on a major shopping spree and just get like hundreds of $1 storage and organising items. Young single mum here so I really can't afford even $20 for something like this it all goes on bills but my oh my I wish I could do the things you do. I have to be SUPER creative. I was cleaning my bathroom and the clutter around the sink was driving me mad so I decided to make a makeshift wall mounted shelf. I used a little square canvas picture with a wooden frame and an old shelf bracket (I don't even know how it got in my house!) and now I have a little corner shelf to store the toothbrushes and things on! A bit dodgy haha one day I'll be able to afford better but being poor certainly does make you more crafty I am very resourceful!

    if you need a blow dryer, try Super Solano. they are amazing and lightweight. I'm a hairdresser and use mine everyday. I've had it for 6 years! and I broke the backing of it by dropping it 3 years ago, and it still works!!! you'll spend around $200, but it's worth it vs. $40 every six months for something that breaks.

    Lovely ideas. But, I would not prop my hairdryer on the sink pipe only because over time, the seal on the sink drain (these get loose over time - my father just tightened mine in my townhouse) or elsewhere may eventually spring a leak and potentially may ruin your hairdryer. I would opt for a hook or another alternative option such as a hair appliance basket. Great video! Keep them coming!

    I have a small bathroom too. I use a small desk organizer from IKEA (looks like a mini chest of drawers) for my unopened medicines (I hate running out of stuff). Once I open the package, I put it in a deep basket with a lid. I keep both the basket and the drawer unit h-i-g-h up on one of those over-the-toilet organizers so my little ones can't reach them.
