    Years ago after my first daughter was born I got overwhelmed with cleaning and organizing. My mom told me “if you can’t clean a room, clean a closet and if you can’t clean a closet clean a drawer.” To this day I have followed her advice. I have the most organized and cleanest drawers in town. 😂 I love your ideas!

      Everyone has so much stuff and everyone thinks they can solve thier stuff with more stuff like containers.... declutter before you organise....and remeber container means your containing what you store in thier so don't jam pack container if it doesn't fit you have to much of that item so get rid of it.

      Like that idea but with the dust dirt and slobber slingers from the bloodhounds it is hard to keep any kind of shelf sitters clean. I do have most of my medical stuff in a notebook. I like that I can go to tab and find things and it's portable. Except mine is so thick now I need to expand to a 2nd notebook. I've tried keeping it in a basket but same concept with the dogs.

    An even easier way to keep ponytail holders together is to get an extra large carabineer and put them on that instead of a shower curtain ring, it's bigger and easier to open ❤

      We use a ring holder ( I'm sure that's not what's it's called) for hair ties. My grandmother left it to us for my rings but the idea of people seeing my rings out in the open terrifies me. If they steal a hair tye I really don't care. Gives my bathroom a little nostalgia too

    Tip back at you....I have a small kitchen and little storage space. I have a wooden cabinet in a corner where it's convenient for my coffee maker, but too small for containers for pods, sugar, etc. I bought a wire bathroom shelf organizer that is meant to set on floor, but it works great for my coffee bar. I used removable hooks to fasten it against the wall so it doesn't tip over and holds my pods, teas, straws, sugar, etc all together and no clutter! Got it at either Ross or Home Goods.

    The ALIX is an amazing system. We have a taller one we added to the large but cavernous RV closet. Had to get IN the closet to build the frame, but it has been in there for 5+ years, the drawers NEVER come open, even tho our RV is older with no air ride. Easy to see everything due to white color & also easy to clean with it's smooth surface. We added a scratch n dent IKEA melamine slab as a shelf over it, giving us far more space, and a custom look, in a dark closet (even with a light in there!). . My MD has two with a counter top across them as a desk- perfect height! One of the best things we have purchased at IKEA--And it's a good thing we live nowhere near an IKEA as I am addicted!!

He always looses his phone, glasses, wallet and keys. I have had the same system for 30+ years. He has used the system, on occasion. I cant change location because he would NEVER use it. Each house we have had, has the same kind of thing.. it has been the bain of my day. Right now. He has not had either pair of his eyeglasses.. who knows where they are.

    You can also wash your ponytail holders in a mesh zipper bag on cold or warm. Then hang the bag up to dry. I keep my hairties in one of the nicer decorated Ziplock bags so my vats stay out of them & they stay clean until i use them a bunch. Cats love to play with hairties & I've found them under everything when cleaning. I also sometimes hang them on my booklight that i have clipped to the plastic drawer tower I use as a bedside table. Great spot for a book light so i can turn it on to check on cats if i hear something at night or whatever without bothering my boyfriend or take it with me to the bathroom at night so i don't trip over cats or housemate's dogs.

    Kiss nails are the best. And the glue is amazing.

      I also put mine in one of the little long trays. So they are all visible and easy to find. I put the glue and alcohol pads and nail stickers in one also.

    Your paper towel hack. I used to buy the Lysol wipes. But after the pandemic hit, they were hard to fine. So I cut my paper towels in half pull the center out and put them in a container like a coffee can and poured my disinfectant over the paper towels, slowly, so the paper towels can soak up the liquid. I made my own disinfectant wipes. And now that’s all I ever use. They fit right under my sink.
