More makeup organizing!

English: A while a go I bought a couple of two tier jars on a sale at H&M, perfect for keeping mineral samples in. I find it hard to use foundation samples that are in a bag so why not get them their own jar?  They are a bit big for the purpose but it was the only size they had on sale. On the last picture I took the smashed blush from E.L.F and put it in the jar instead of throwing it away. ^^

Swedish: För ett tag sen fyndade jag små burkar på H&M för halva priset. Perfekta för att förvara mineral prover i. Tycker det är jobbigt med foundation prover i påsar eftersom det hamnar precis överallt då. Burkarna är visserligen en aning för stora för prover men det var ju rea! På sista bilden har jag hällt över den krossade blushen från E.L.F i en av burkarna istället för att slänga allt.  ^^

Organizing mineral samples

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Got really sick of all the mineral sample baggies laying around everywhere, even in a drawer, so I took a couple of round-head fasteners and organized them by brand. The organizing-me is so much happier now!

Space saver!

Whatcha doin?

It’s almost two years since I moved from a small town and a 80 square meters big apartment to a bigger city and a 40 square meters small apartment. Imagine how much stuff I had/have to get rid of when I moved to an apartment half the size!

For example, I had to put one half of my double bed in the basement, which makes me a bit sad since I loved that big bed, even if it was a size for two! I’ve also sold, thrown away and given away a lot of stuff, but I still have one basement storage too much! We are only allowed to have one, but I managed to get two when I moved in ;).

So during the years I have been organizing a lot. Don’t get me wrong, I love organizing! But it really has been a little too much even for me. So a week a go I decided to go over my closets _again_, sorting out clothes that I don’t use or that doesn’t fit me. However, I just didn’t want to throw them all away. I am loosing a liiittle bit weight each month and I just wanted to save some smaller clothes just in case I reach that size again. The rest will be donated to an aid organization.

In the middle of all this I remembered that I several months ago bought 2 compression bags! You know, the big ones that you use a vacuum cleaner to suck out all the air with.

I used one to all the clothes I’m saving. And hell yes, I’m saving a lot of space now! I probably shouldn’t have packed the clothes in such high piles in the bags, but instead used all of the space in it, but it worked out anyway. Just take a look at the picture below! Before I had the clothes in two big boxes. Now, they _all_ will fit in _one_ shelf in the closet. I must say; one of the best inventions ever! ;P
