It’s Time to Clean Out Your Closets! Oh, man… it’s time. In my house, I “own” 3 closets and they are packed-silly. It’s funny because I’m always the first person to say to my mom, my sister or my friends that it’s time to CLEAN and CONQUER, but when it comes to myself — I don’t take my own advice! [...]

Organization is an absolute necessity in my life.  It always has been.  I think I inherited this characteristic from both my Mom & Dad.  My Mom followed my Navy Dad with our family from coast-to-coast for most of my childhood… and she refused to lose things.  Each of us 3 kids had our own drawers, closet space, towel rack in [...]

A New Year. A New Day. I love being organized with a New Year. There’s just something about getting that extra energy kick in the butt on New Year’s Day. Today I’m organizing my closets… they’re bad right now. They’re very bad. I shot this video this morning at 8AM! Tonight… they’ll be a different story. And PS – Matt [...]

I was always an organized kid, teenager and young adult. In elementary and high school I used to have 2 calendars hanging in my room. One for all of my school assignments and one for all my swim meets and practice schedules. I never wanted to miss a thing. In college I used a daily planner that was literally glued [...]

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your closet and house — you can BEAUTY Spring Clean, too. I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I hardly ever clean out my makeup, hair accessories or jewelry. I think the last time I did a good beauty clean out was when we moved from NYC to Rhode Island… 4 years ago. Please don’t judge [...]

BlissTV- Morning Routines from Blissful Media Group on Vimeo. You know how they say, “You’re a great mom until you have kids?” Yeah… that was me. I’ll never forget being at my girlfriend’s apartment in NYC one morning and seeing her try and (literally) wrangle 2 kids out of bed, to the counter to eat breakfast, get them dressed and [...]

Organizing your clothing can be a daunting task. Let me first say… I love clothing and shoes and accessories and makeup and everything fashion/beauty related. I love to read about fashions. I love to see and feel and check fashions and styles and trends out. And I love to see them on other people. Throughout the years I have “collected” [...]

Shopping! Shopping! Shopping! The sales are too hot right now to pass up! I bought a full kindergarten wardrobe for my son William this past weekend. Sleepies for the younger boys. Not to mention jackets and boots for all the McClelland boys for next year. And then I just tuck everything away. This is what I’ve been doing for the [...]

When it comes to jewelry, I’m a NECKLACE LOVER!  I still don’t have my ears pierced (a definite to-do in 2010!).  And as much as I love bracelets, there are only a few that I rotate through.  I’m a huge bangle and gold cuff lover. But necklaces… oh, man… I just LOVE.   You will rarely ever see me out without [...]

We all need a good closet clean-out once in a while! I try and get rid of things every 6 months or so… organization and de-cluttering is a GOOD FEELING. Fashion advice for the day? Go through your closets for the next 7 days and get rid of 1 thing a day. Just 1 item. Donate the items. Recycle the [...]
