We simplify with S.O.U.L.

“Laura was a life-saver when she organized my closet!”

“I was having a really hard time getting rid of anything, and she helped me realize that I didn’t need a lot of what was cluttering up my closet. I slept better after working with Laura, knowing that there was less extra junk in my life! Everyone should spend a few afternoons with Laura and see how much better their homes (and their lives) can be!”
-Shelly

What are 3 ways to organize your jewlery?

💍DISPLAY, DISPLAY, DISPLAY!

Make it so you are able to see all of it.

This does two things, keeps it organized and helps you know what you have so you can wear it!

♥️We also love displaying jewelry, because it’s art and we love seeing art in every area of our homes!

😕Overbuying and wasting items is such a bummer. 

BUT a great way to avoid that is by decanting your items.

☹️I know it seems like it’s just another thing to do, but it creates presence and mindfulness.

You can SEE what you have and have a clearer (no pun intended, lol) idea of what you are running out of and need to restock.

🤩It’s not about being pretty, I mean we love that, but practicality always comes first when organizing!

💰Listen, no one likes to waste money on bills and chances are if you’re paying them late, you’re paying them fees.

😓We all work too hard to not spend money on the things we need and want. 

Creating an organized system, whether that be on your phone, computer or filing system can unburden you from fees!😀

♥️We suggest putting the due dates of all your bills on your calendar 3 days before they’re due!

😍We love that people are catching on to the benefit of a drawer over a cabinet in their kitchens (or really anywhere!)

Here’s why we love a drawer:

🙂You can see everything, no more getting down on your hands and knees and pulling everything out.

🙃They utilize the space far better and are great for stacking.

😉If you have little ones it makes it easier to set them up with their own items and foster independence (ie. give the moms a break)

Are you team drawer or team cabinet?
