  Closet Organization If you’re like me, your closet could be your happy place with the right systems and some decluttering. Hence this post. Today I’m sharing some basic (and not-so basic) tips to get your closet whipped into the wardrobe wonderland you always knew it could be.     First Things First You’ll want to have a good idea of how and where you want items stored.

Clean out those cabinets & drawers. Now, sort your products by type. While doing this, toss anything you don't like, won't use, that is expired, or that is broken/unusable. For everything that's left, here are ways to get it back in and make it work for you: 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 A tiered tray on your counter. 2 or 3 tiers are perfect for containing clutter that otherwise may get sprawled everywhere.
