Decluttering + Organizing Workshop with the Home Sanctuary

Join Katie and Kari of The Home Sanctuary for an interactive workshop focusing on decluttering + organizing for the new year. They will share their overall process for de-cluttering the most common spaces in your home including: master closets, pantries, and linen closets; share their favorite budget-friendly products that you can use to organize each of these spaces; and guide a hands-on activity so you can practice your new-found organizing skills.

Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 5 | Makeup, Beauty Products, + Vanity

 The next area up on my home organization tour is my vanity where I store all my beauty products + makeup.  This is one of the most fun areas in my opinion to get organized, but also can be the most challenging for many women.  As always the key to tackling this space is purging.  I know I probably have a lot less makeup than most, but I also use everything I have, and if I don't like something or if something is empty or old, I toss it immediately.  If you have a lot more makeup/beauty products than I do, there are a ton of great organizing options linked below too with lots of drawers, dividers, and stackers that you can combine to contain your entire collection.  Also don't be afraid to think outside of the box when shopping for organizers.  I love to use vintage pieces like cake plates, mirror trays, milkglass vases, and/or glass jars to contain items, especially on top of your vanity.
