How to Conquer Your Closet and Look Your Best

Since Marie Kondo’s book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up:  the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing sold over eight million copies in over 40 countries and stayed on the New York Times best-selling list for so long, it’s obvious that people around the world are plagued by clutter.  I assume age doesn’t matter because clearing clutter is an ongoing situation.

In my recent blog post “How to Make More Outfits Out of What You Have,” I provided a list of the basic wardrobe items you need to have or buy for spring and summer.  In this post, I am giving you tips and links to help you get rid of excess clothes that make it difficult to get dressed and look your best.

Nothing to Wear? How to improve your chances!

 

One morning, looking for an outfit to wear, I began to reach for a top and scarf that were haphazardly beside each other that happened to match perfectly.  But then I saw another sweater that matched as well.  And then I thought, “Oh, maybe I should stick with my first idea that I had last night…”

I turned around, looked at another pairing and then another, and sighed, “So many possibilities; there’s too much to wear!”  Then I laughed, thinking of the common phrase, “I have nothing  to wear!”

My guess is that this lament happens to everyone at some time or other.  Age doesn’t matter.

Once you make sure you have the basic wardrobe items needed, all it takes is:

1) imagination, 2) your favorite things, and 3) accessories. Continue Reading

Chakra minerals and crystals healing set

My birthday gift from my son this year was a chakra mineral starter set of healing crystals, with a velvet pouch containing the chakra healing stones.  The gift card said, “Hi, Mom! May they bring you abundance and comfort!  From Your Son.”

I was surprised to get this chakra healing set of crystals when I had just posted an article on “How to Use the Amazing Powers of Color.”  This was synchronicity at its best!  In my color post, I included a list of how to heal and correct the chakras by their corresponding colors.

I decided to share my gift with you.  I had already intended to write about crystals, and I will explore the topic more in the future if you like.  I hope that the basic information I am sharing with you here is helpful!

When we “cleanse” our chakras with crystals, we dispel negative energy that is building up inside of us and disturbing our delicate energy balance.  This promotes both emotional and physical self-healing.

Age doesn’t matter.  Throughout history, the wisest healers were those of a venerable age.

How to Make Natural Jewelry Cleaner Quickly and Easily

I found this easy, natural way to clean jewelry by FP Brigette and would like to share it with you because it works so well.  My husband even filled a tray with crusty old coins and they got clean in ten minutes this way!  This solution just bubbles away all tinges of tarnish, etc.  (Just like Scrubbing Bubbles cleans the bathroom.  Lol!)  Whatever methods you’ve used in the past, age doesn’t matter.  This is a great new way to make a seemingly impossible job so quick and easy.

You can make a paste of baking soda and water and just buff your jewelry with it in a pinch.  But the following method does a better job with less elbow grease, on intricate jewelry, and you can throw multiple pieces into the pan at once!
