Hello Spring Cleaning - OTG|247 Bags

Out with the old and on to organizing the NEW! 

Hello Spring! It’s time for your annual spring cleaning. Out with the old and on to organizing the new, can be a very cleansing experience. Have you been holding on to some extra junk around the house? Letting go can be really refreshing, especially with my tips and tricks to declutter your life and to get ready for Spring.

Spring means growth everywhere! Being surrounded by a beautiful garden is good for the soul. Store your gardening supplies in our #9 bag. The #9 bag is padded for your laptop, but is also serves well to protect all of your tools and adding the strap is perfect way to wear them cross body and keep em at your fingertips. You can also hang your gardening bag on a coat rack next to your door.

Give your used items to a worthy cause! Think outside of popular thrift stores. Research your local charity thrift shops and pick a cause you stand for! Parting with old items can be hard but it feels better knowing you are making a difference.  For the really awesome, designer fab items send them to www.threalreal.com!

Follow the paper trail...to my desk. Sometimes sorting your pile of papers and junk mail can be a job of its own. It’s time to clear the paper clutter for good. Put on a good playlist and start sorting from left to right until you have cleared the whole room. Keep all your important legal and medical documents in a #10 bag. You always want to be prepared and have your most important information ready if there is an emergency.  And use a #8 bag to store your everyday “pending” file so it is easy to take on the go while working on the road.

I’m guilty of this- having a drawer of make-up and random cosmetics…”just in case!” Not only is it messy, it can stain your drawer if it isn’t sealed correctly! Check the dates and dump the old dried, stuff. Separate your items in to base (concealer, foundation, blush), eyes, lips and samples for travel! Store each group in a #4 nudie bag and file them in your drawer.

I hope that each of you have a wonderful Spring season and declutter, clean and most of all grow!

XOXO
