How I Declutter My House, Secrets of a Professional Organizer

Posted by Melvin on Jun 1, 2009 in Stormy Life

As a professional organizer, I love it when I have the ‘bug’ to declutter my house!  For me, going through closets and drawers filling a donation bag makes me feel lighter.  I love the feeling I get when I have what I need, I know where it is and I know that I still have space to add something new.

Well, how do I declutter my house?  Even professional organizers still have new things coming into the home on a regular basis, especially those of us who have children!

Professional Organizer Secret # 1
Give all belongings a home such as a basket, bin or a specific place on a shelf.  Make sure it is easy for all members of the family to know what belongs there.  Using a label machine to label your “homes” will make it very clear.

This will allow you to know how much you have of any item and it puts a cap on how much you can store.  If it is overflowing, it’s time to lighten the load!

Professional Organizer Secret # 2
I keep a donation bag lining a plastic tub under a table in my office at all times.  Any time we come across clothing, kid’s toys, books or household items that we are ready to part with, in they go!  The bag doesn’t even have to be full to pass it on if you get a call for a charity pick up or you will be driving by a local donation drop off.

Professional Organizer Secret # 3
Another way I declutter my house is actually through a little preventative medicine.  I am careful to stop it before it ever even makes it through the door. 

I rarely stop at garage sales.  Do I really need that ‘good deal’ or another vase?
If someone wants to give me something that I don’t need, I politely pass. It’s ok to do that, really.

When I shop, I only purchase something if I need it and know where I would put it or how I would store it. 

Use my secrets to declutter my house so you can declutter yours!

Micro Needling Puts Up The Fight – Learn the Secrets

Posted by Melvin on Jun 1, 2009 in Stormy Life

All of the them have been around for thousands of years. There is little you can do to stop them developing and it’s only in the last few years, that anything could be done to fight against them. Wrinkles, stretch marks and acne scars develop as we become older leaving behind the look of flawless youth.

Now though we can do something in response. It is a countermeasure we always had – the skins natural defences!

The reason why all of the above show, is because of a deficiency of collagen in the skins surface. Our bodies do produce collagen, but often it isn’t produced at a fast enough rate to avoid these blemishes.By stimulating this collagen formation process, we can effectively remove stretch marks and tackle all of the other collagen related issues and concerns at the same time.

A Dermaroller works well in encouraging the dermis layer of skin into the production of elastin and collagen fibres without causing damage to the top epidermis layer. This means that with very little effort, you can encourage your body to fight back against skin blemishes with less expense, with no visits to clinics and no need for complicated treatments.

Dermarollers take the form of 192 precision needles laid out on a roller head which gently travels over the skins surface making small holes across the upper layers. What this does, in simple terms, is stimulate the natural production of collagen as would be experienced should you cut or graze your skin. By adding new skin and collagen cells, the skin plumps out and thickens like younger skin. This results in the scar, stretch mark wrinkle or other, appearing faded or completely removed.
