How to Organize Your Closet

1. Rule of 2 years. Put all of your clothes on your bed and have a look at them. All of the clothes that you haven't worn in 2 years give away. Do the same with your shoes.

2. Order in your closet. Put all of your sweaters on shelves according to color and thickness or any other system. This way your clothes will hold shape longer and you will know exactly where something is.

3. Protection against dust and moths. Put your summer clothes in plastic bags or boxes and label them. Do the same with shoes. You can even take a picture of your shoes and put it on the front of the box.

4. Where and how with jewellery.

• Buy a cork board and put color pins in the board. Put your jewellery on the pins.

• You can also buy a jewellery holder and put your jewellery on there. 

• Buy an ice tray and put your little pieces of jewellery in it. 

5. Nicely put. Put little pieces of underwear in decorative boxes or put some decorative paper over old shoe boxes. You can also use boxes for cookies.

6. Colorful. When you are hanging up your clothes do it this way: put pants together, skirts together, etc. Individual types of clothing (pants, shirts, etc.) divide with a different colored hanger. You can fill the empty space under the hangers with boxes in which you can put belts, scarves, purses, etc.

7. Nicely organized. If you don't have shelves in your closet but only drawers then roll your clothes next to each other and do not put them on top of each other.

8. Smelling nice. You can protect your clothes against moths by putting a bag of dry lavender in your closet. If you want to make your closet just to smell nice then put a little bit of essential oil on a cotton pad and put it on the shelf between the clothes.

9. Everyday chores. 

• Put clean clothes to your closet immediately. 
• Throw dirty clothes in the laundry basket. You can get two baskets; one for white clothes and one for other clothes.
• Fold each piece of clothing that you can wear again so that it won't get wrinkles. Put the clothes that don't have to be washed yet on a standing hanger or a special pile.

How to: Pore Strips

I found this recipe online and I thought I would share it with you. Enjoy :)

What you need:

1. Gelatin

2. Milk

3. A bowl

4. A tablespoon

Throughout doing this make sure you work fast because the gelatin becomes hard very fast. First mix one tablespoon of gelatin with 1-2 tablespoons of milk. Mix it together until you don't have clumps anymore. Put it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds and they immediately apply it on your face with an old brush or something else. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and peel it off. This will remove any dead skin and blackheads you might have.

Have you ever done this? How you liked it?

How to love your body

1. It is your treasure. Your body conquers all obstacles, parties, happiness, sadness, etc. It's your frame and you have to take care of it and nurture it. It is your treasure. You shouldn' be ashamed of it and only see imperfections. It's even worse if you say taht your body is ugly. If you don't like it change it.

2. Respect your body. Everybody would like to change something about their body. It is important that you love yourself and your body. You're unique and there is noone like you. Isn't this something special? Don't have a bad attitude towards your body.

3. Nurture your body. Care means having clean skin, oral and other hygiene, nice nails on your hands and feet, skincare, haircare, using a deodorant. Don't forget about all of this and make it a habit. This is the only way you will be nice and polished. You can also make your body look better with exercise, eating well, put on some makeup, if you want to, put on a little bit of perfume. Also don't forget to sleep a least 8 hours a day.

4. Sculpt your body. You can sculpt any body you want. You can do so by exercising regularly and eating healthy. If you sculpt your body and you are happy with it, you'll be more confident and this will show to other people.

5. Shine from the inside. Beauty comes from the inside but it shows on the outside. Your body is a mirror with which you represent mainly your inner beauty. Everything you feel, think, shows on your body. Try to be happy every day and this will make you even more beautiful than you already are.

6. Show it. Why wouldn't you show your body if you're happy with it? Why would you show it? Because you have accepted it the way it is. Because you love it, you take care of it, you nurture it, respect it and know who is worth of it. Show it with all your confidence, optimism, satisfaction, etc.  You have to be happy with yourself first and then other people will like you as well. 

7. Spoil it. Have a relaxing bath, massage your feet, polish your nails, put on some perfume, etc.
