Houston Personal Concierge // One of Our Most Requested Concierge Tasks Pt. 1

As a personal concierge in Houston my team and I have been asked to do lots of various things through the past 15 years from professional organizing to personal assistant tasks. On the personal concierge side of the business one of the most requested things I get asked to do is pick up and deliver balloons. I do this all the time for clients for various occasions like birthdays, holiday events, thank yous, and the list goes on and on. We get requests for lots of different types of balloons and we usually get them inflated and then delivered. I love doing it because I know there is going to be some happy person out there. We also hire balloon companies, like That Ballon Girl here in Houston,  for clients to do balloon arches, displays, etc. People love balloons and they are a fun and festive way to celebrate a variety of occasions.

Did you know that today is random acts of kindness day? I love that there is a day for this because sometimes we all get caught up in so much craziness and forget how good it feels to do random acts of kindness. At least for me I think it feels amazing!

Here are 12 random acts of kindness you can perform today and everyday.

1. Wave to your neighbor.
2. Post a positive comment on someone's social media or blog.
3. Support the kids in your neighborhood by buying lemonade from their stand or items they are selling for school.
4. Donate or volunteer to a cause you care about.
5. Call someone you love.
6. Write a letter to a friend or family member. 
7. Go onto a friend or family member's Amazon wishlist and purchase something for them you think they would like.

9. If you see a random cart in the parking lot, put it in the cart return.
10. Do something unexpected and nice for a loved one.
11. Compliment someone.

Looking Back at 2019: Our Most Liked Instagram Photo

Hi! I was looking back at various posts and such from 2019 and this is the most liked photo of the year on Instagram, by a TON. I am not sure why, but I will take it. It was when I was doing a speaking engagement for Newmark Homes where I talked about all things organizing. I ended up using this photo for the Eco Modern Concierge holiday card this past year as well. If you need a professional organizer and/or personal concierge in Houston, I'm your girl!

A Day in the Life of a Houston Professional Organizer and Personal Concierge

Here is a recap for EMC this week and the 5 million different directions I went in. This is the life of a Houston professional organizer and concierge. To shop most of the organization items from this post visit ecomodernconcierge.com/shop .

Monday

Helped a client in Memorial who is still renovating after Harvey. We moved clothing items from the section she is currently living in to the actual master bedroom, organized the laundry room a little bit more and other areas as well.

Then headed to Cypress to work on another master closet. This client has a really hard time getting rid of things because of sentimental attachment, but she did GREAT!!

Tuesday

Worked with a client in Memorial to organize their pantry it went from chaos to fabulousness in 3 hours.

Went to a longtime client in The Woodlands to help her sort through some photos of her mom real quick who sadly just passed away this week. If you have been following along for awhile you remember all the times we went to Tomball to go through my client's mom's estate downsize, donate and sell while her mom was in the nursing home and not doing well. I facetimed with my client probably 100+ hours in a year+ time period because she was unable to make it to the house. It was an extremely tedious project, but rewarding in the end.

Then to West U to help a client clear out one of her spare rooms to make room for a Peleton and we made the spare closet a gifting closet.

Wednesday

I have weekly standing appointments with several clients and Wednesday are big standing appointment days.

Met with my client in Piney Point and organized issues that are happening for their country home. Got new EZ tag for their new car. Coordinated with the boy that comes and does a ton of chores for them, etc.

Then off to River Oaks to help another regular client move some items around in their attic, do the summer to winter wardrobe switch. Then take donations.

In Montrose to check on a client's home who is out of town.

Then the National Concierge Association of Greater Houston meeting in the evening.

Thursday

Brave the Nutcracker Market chaos in the morning.

Head to River Oaks in the afternoon where we are decluttering a client's whole home prepping for renovations.

Still in River Oaks and helped client put up some Christmas decor.

Friday

Helped a client party prep. Picked up cookies from baker, grocery run, Michaels run for kids crafts and Specs. Then headed back to their house to bag and tie ribbon on 48 cookies.

Then headed back to the Nutcracker Market to meet my mom and brother who happened to be in the area.

Saturday

Headed to Alvin to do a closet organizing project. It has been a busy week and will only get busier.
