Kitchen Organization 101

You never realize just how out of control something is until you attempt to organize it. You know that moment when you pull everything [and we’re talking everything] out of whatever it is you are about to organize and then you second guess every decision you’ve ever made as an adult and especially the one right you made right in that second and you’re ready to throw in the towel and say “screw it, it was easier left a mess”? Hi, that was me last week when I started on a quest to conquer kitchen organization to the 100th degree. It turns out, my kitchen’s insides were a disaster.

Who knew that a few [okay a lot, I ordered a lot] of kitchen organization tools can make a world of a difference. I ordered everything from The Container Store [no, this isn’t sponsored but I use their shoe containers in my closets so I knew it was a good place to turn] and I stand before you today, still alive [a miracle] with a kitchen that has been flipped upside down and right side up with pictures here to prove it to you. We all like a good before and after don’t we? Eat your heart out suckers, I’ve got several for you today…

ps. Curious to see what this kitchen looked like when we bought the house? Your curiosity can be tended to here!

15 Amazon Fashion Finds I’m Loving

Oh Amazon Fashion, you never cease to surprise, delight, frustrate, and cause me to impulse shop more than any other retailer out there. There’s something about the word Amazon that instantly ignites curiosity in all of us. I don’t know if it’s because of the low prices, insane selection of randomness or that we know if we hit checkout we can have the item in our hands to try within 24-48 hours. While not everything is a win from the big A [trust me, I’ve had plenty of fails and moments of “what IS this?!?!”] I’ve also had a hand full of wins and trusty inexpensive pieces that I know wear regularly. To make your Amazon Shopping easier, I’ve rounded up 15 favorites I’ve worn over and over again that I feel confident in. To make it even easier, we now have an Amazon Fashion finds page on the blog that gets updated every time we place an order so you can see what we’re shopping! Basically, think of LIY as your one stop shop for all of your “things you didn’t know you needed, but now you do” hot spot.

Before we get into all of the outfits, let’s get the logistics out of the way to make this process easier on you – for sizing reference, I am 5’4, 125 lbs on a good day, typically a 2 in tops/dresses and 26 in jeans/pants with a preferred inseam of 26-28 inches. Bra size is 30DDD [I get it from my momma]. Hopefully, this helps when determining what size you’d need. Also, feel free to follow along here for daily outfits [literally every outfit housed in ONE spot] and check out this Pinterest board where you can also get some ideas! Which reminds me, you can pin any of these looks below to save for future reference! Simply click on the links below and you will be taken directly to the retailer where you can shop! Alright, fellow “I like to get dressed” friends, let’s begin!ps. If you’re here, I’m assuming you like a) clothes b) good deals on clothes. Every Tuesday we send out the top deals on the internet and believe me, it’s good. Want in on the list? Sign up here!

9 Outfits For Summer

I’m not going to lie, writing something along the lines of summer outfits makes me feel a little bit like a fraud right now as I’m sitting here bundled up in sweatshirts and sweatpants in these 60 degree [rainy] temps Indiana has been having non-stop, but I’m hoping that if I keep putting it out…
