Adult Eco Easter Basket

• Fair Trade Basket. Use a fair trade basket as an Easter basket and then reuse the basket for something else.
• Towels as filler. Instead of using the "grass" that is usually in Easter baskets, substitute for dish towels that can later be reused.
• Organic Delish Fish. The popular Swedish style fish candies in organic form.
• Silione Food Bags. These always come in handy when storing food on the go. Great for lunches.
• Eco Wine. The Crossings is a brand that my husband really likes and I didn't know it was an eco wine until I was doing research for this post.
• Eco Dying Kit. Have fun dying eggs with this eco dying kit.
• Face Wash. Who doesn't love a good, eco face wash?
• Eco Modern Concierge Gift Certificate. Give the gift of getting stuff done. Hire a professional organizer or personal assistant to tackle that to-do list. 
• Eco Hammock. Spring is the perfect time to whip the hammock out and this eco version looks fun. 
• Organic Gardening Book. Spring is the perfect time to get started on that organic garden.
• Organic Cold Brew Coffee. Cold brew coffee perfect for those hot days ahead and it is earth positive.
• DoTerra Purify Essential Oil. One of my clients made a cleaning solution with this oil and it smelt amazing.

Shoe Closet Organization: Before & After

Being a professional organizer in Houston you see all kinds of different closets from big to small. This small closet has just a little space for shoes. The most under utilized space is usually vertical space. So we used shoe boxes for most of the heels /dressy shoes and more sandals / casual shoes we left in the open. How do you like to organize your shoes?

5 Things to Organize This Weekend

Here are 5 things that you can organize this weekend:

• Your water bottles. Most of us have SO many. Downsize on them.
• Your Tupperware. If it doesn't have a matching top or bottom get rid of it.
• Garden supplies. Spring is here time to purge old garden supplies that no longer work, are broken or are dry rotted.
• Get rid of extra pens and pencils you no longer use.
• Socks with no matches.
