Easy Apartment Closet Organization Tips

After recently downsizing, my first major task was an apartment closet organization project. I will admit I do have a good sized closet. Since I am limited on storage space I had to creatively find ways to use the closet for both storage of personal items and clothes. Initially the closet was a place to dump everything, it lacked organization. It was easy to simply close the door and walk away from the chaos. I was adjusting to my new space and keeping myself busy and occupied or perhaps I didn’t want to do it. A recent need to find a missing dress led me to my organization project.

Let’s start with the before photos…

Mismatched hangers, oversized storage containers, shoes everyone, this was the norm. It was definitely time to reorganize this space for both functionality and peace of mind.

The empty closet…

The first task was to empty out the closet and sort through all of the clothes. I was able to fill a bag with items I no longer needed along with the all the hangers to give away. Once it was empty I was able to see the space and come up with a strategy to fit everything.

I found that I was able to reuse some of the containers that I already had for scarves and other non-hanging clothes. Immediately I felt a sense of organization after color coordinating the clothes onto grey velvet hangers. While the sweaters were stored into the LACKISAR storage bags

The process continued until everything had a place and was looking clean, organized, and beautiful. Before it was complete I purchased some closet garment bags to store my winter things and a small rug to cover the utility box.

And now for the big reveal!

Everything now belonged in a place. The hats were hung, photos and knick knacks properly stored, shoes in place and finally I have peace of mind. This project took just a weekend to complete and I have to tell you that I am loving this space. This easy DIY apartment closet organization task was very affordable and easy to complete and now I have extra space to go shopping!

With a little encouragement from family and friends I completed both of these goals in just 1 month.🙌🏾

I committed to stretching myself and stepping outside of my comfort zone and I’m not stopping.

This weekend I’ll be speaking @PinnersConf
here in Atlanta. I’ll be sharing tips on embracing your midlife journey. This wasn’t on my radar at the beginning of the year, I am truly living in the moment and enjoying the process.

I remember being teased about my height in middle I remember being teased about my height in middle school. For years I was the tallest person in my class. I towered over the boys, the girls and in kindergarten I was even taller than my teacher.😂😂. 

Needless to say, I was uncomfortable being tall for a long time. Finally in my junior year of high school, I began to embrace the beauty in being my height. I compared myself to a sunflower, standing tall and erect...flawless. 

Learning to love all of me was a process that I had to embrace. The Bible says that I am fearfully and wonderfully made! And that’s the truth that I walk in today. I stand 5’11”, taller than most people and I wouldn’t change it for the world. 

What’s one thing that you love about yourself?

Happy Monday! Hope y’all had a relaxing weekend Happy Monday!

Hope y’all had a relaxing weekend. I got a chance to step away for some much needed me time.

Constantly moving and meeting deadlines can be exhausting to your mind and body. Knowing when to shut down is important as I am able to refocus and sometimes recalibrate. Taking this quiet time every few months enables me to pour back into myself so that I am able to walk more confidently in my purpose. This is my self-care. 

So, how was your weekend? Did you do anything for yourself?

Menopause can bring many challenges including issu Menopause can bring many challenges including issues with skin. 

Recently I committed to focusing on a skincare regimen that included my entire body. My goal is to keep my skin supple and hydrated, especially as we approach the upcoming summer months.

I have partnered with @mywomaness to share their collection of modern menopause products, offering solutions from head to toe (& everything in between).

Gone are the days of being silent about midlife and menopause. We are breaking constraints and celebrating the changes in our lives. @womaness knows exactly what we are experiencing. Their products are made for women, by women - everything is clean, safe, proven, & effective.  And they provide relief to embrace menopause and the midlife journey.

One of my favorite products is the “Let’s Neck” Neck and Décolleté Serum. This serum leaves my neck feeling pampered as the applicator gently glides and massages my skin. It is a must have!

Menopause Meet Your Match!

When I travel I like to be comfortable and still l When I travel I like to be comfortable and still look stylish. Even if I’m just going for a quick weekend getaway. Covid has changed things up, masks are the norm. I’ll likely keep wearing one even when it’s no longer required. 

We’ve been cooped up for more than a year and  now it’s time to break out. Weekend getaways are the perfect way to relax, reflect and meditate and this weekend I was able to do all of that. 

A change of scenery is definitely good for the soul. Along with good food and conversation, I am refreshed. 

Are you ready to travel again? Where’s the first place that you’ll go?

Denim goes with everything and a white tee with pumps brings it all together. 

Taking a photo in the middle of the street was a first for me and my photographer. We are kicking Fear in the butt!

Floral dresses are one of my favorites to wear. They are a staple in my spring wardrobe. The bright colors and flowers in this dress are soft and delicate...they bring out the sassy in me!

There are so many made up rules as to when you should wear certain things. At this age, I say who cares! Wear whatever makes you feel happy, sexy and confident. 

How confident are you to wear what makes you feel happy?

What are some of your skin care secrets? I’ll What are some of your skin care secrets?

 I’ll go first!

I recently purchased a natural, anti-aging body moisturizer. It is full of oils and vitamins to keep my skin hydrated. 

Our skin is the largest organ and like every other organ it needs water to stay soft and supple. 

Dry skin can emphasize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; which is why it’s important to use a hydrating formula. Yes, we can get wrinkles all over our body!🤦🏾

I’ve always used lotion on my body, but never considered the importance of protecting it against the inevitable aging. 

This is imperative to maintaining youthful looking, firm skin all over. 

This lotion is very light, extremely moisturizing and absorbs quickly into my skin. I apply it in the morning and evening after bathing and I absolutely love it!🤎

So tell me, what’s one of your skin care secrets?
