Happy 1st Day of Spring & Spring 2019 Bucket List

Happy 1st day of Spring! Warmer temps are on the horizon and here is my Spring 2019 bucket list

Go on at least 3 or more walks / park visits a week with our sweet dog. This used to be such a regular habit that we got out of doing in the colder months.

Try a new salad recipe. I have a salad recipe book my mother in law gave me years ago and want to try something new.

Outdoor yoga. I NEED more yoga in my life.

Go to the drive in movie. We haven't been in so long and I would love to go again.

Long bike rides. I love riding my bike.

Go to a new date spot with Bryan. We tend to go and do a lot of the same things that we like and we need to try something new.

What is on your spring bucket list?

Client Fashion Blogger: Closet Organization Before & After

I worked on this closet organization project almost a year ago in The Woodlands, TX. It is a suburb just outside of Houston, TX. I can't believe I am just now getting around to showing you the before & afters. I changed all the hangers in this closet, sorted items by type and then color. I was the only one working in this closet while the client was away and I think it came out great! Changing hangers to all of the same hangers is one of the easiest ways to make a closet look more organized and put together. 

Here are some items to help your closet look great and organized:

• Velvet hangers
• Purse shapers
• Boot shapers

Made in the USA + Eco Cleaning Supplies: Branch Basics

I first got introduced to Branch Basics these products from a client. Then come to find out many of my clients use these products and some are even friends with the founders. I love that they are eco, made in the USA and a little goes a long way. I have been using them for a while now and really like them. They are unscented, but you can easily add high grade essential oils to the products if you want a certain scent. You get one large bottle of concentrate and all the other bottles are empty, except the oxygen boost. Each bottle tells you what to do, like where to fill the water to and then where to fill the concentrate to. Super easy and lasts a long time.

Have you tried these products yet?

Eco Modern Concierge Featured on the NAPO Stand Out Podcast

Once again, when the National Association of Productivity & Organizing Professionals (NAPO) reached out to me to do their podcast it was another resounding YES, but I was also very nervous. The host Sarah couldn't have been more easy to talk to and I was so glad I did it. Truth be told, I still have not listened to it because I am too nervous too. If you would like to listen to it, go here to listen to my episode.
