Someone once said, a room cleaning is not complete until you light a candle. Mine tend to be vacation-scented and airy. I can look around my room and see everything clearly. My hardwood floors, the ‘go garnet’ insta-dry nail polish, my soft + fluffy throw pillow and of course my plethora of makeup and shoes. My room is organized which essentially means my life is organized…but for how long? It’s one thing to get organized, as noted in a previous post, but it’s a whole other thing to stay organized.

How many days does your organization last? One, ten, thirty? I’ll be the first to admit, although I am pretty good when it comes to organization, I find, it never really lasts. Slowly but surely my reading chair gets stacked with jeans I’ve worn, my bureau gets filled with earrings, rings and such, and my shoes magically spread themselves out across my floor, right next to the suitcase I have yet to unpack from my last trip. Despite everything, there’s hope for me yet. I’ve learned a new way to make sure I keep my organization in order!
