Tidy Up Tuesday: Thirty One Gifts Bags

I am a self-proclaimed basket, tote, and container hoarding, organizing fool.  I ♥ to organize.  I get this from my mother.  She has a basket for EVERYTHING.  For instance, when we go visit and leave our keys on the bar, she puts them in the basket that is on the counter by the bar.  If we can't find something of ours (keys, sunglasses, etc) at her house, we know to start looking in the strategically placed baskets around the house.  David loves to make fun of the basket situation.  Slowly but surely, I am turning into my mother.  There is a place for everything and everything MUST be in its place.  OCD much??

So, I am dedicating one post a week to just that: organizing.  I will be sharing some of my organizing tips and ideas and also some before/afters for projects I take on at home.

I wanted to share this because it just makes me happy to open up the cabinet and see.  I know.  Weird.  Don't judge!  I recently won a Thirty-One Gifts tote from a blog giveaway.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it until I opened up my cabinet one day to get a band-aid and I had my first aid kit in a plastic basket (probably one I got from my Mom).  I decided to "cuten" it up a little. 



I believe this one is called the Littles Carry-All Caddy - Perfect!!


I had also purchased the Organizing Utility Tote a couple months later.  I decided to use it for my emergency car kit. 



See the Puma bag in the background?  I ordered some shoes from Amazon (LOVE Amazon!) and Puma puts their boxes inside these bags.  Instead of throwing it away, I put it in my car in case I ever have extremely muddy shoes and need somewhere to put them.  You never know, right?!?!


Everything fits just lovely in it!  I'm a huge fan of Thirty-One Gifts - I need to order more!  I should just stick to the plastic baskets - they are way cheaper!

Don't forget to check out my Scentsy bar giveaway here and also the new spring Scentsy!!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture bu...

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....
