Scarf Organization

My favorite accessories for fall and winter are fashion scarves! They are cozy, cute, and can complete so many different outfits. I have always stored my scarves on the inside of my closet door, and lately that area had been a disaster zone. So, of course I decided it was time for some new organization!

Before

 

I stopped by Bed, Bath, and Beyond and picked up this super cute scarf organizer in the shape of a purse!

After using the organizer, storing away thick winter scarves, and rearranging my belts, my closet door looks so much better!

While we're on the subject of scarves, here are two cute new ones that I picked up at Charlotte Russe when they were on sale for only $5! What a bargain!



DIY Makeup Brush Holder (+ How to Clean the Brushes)!

Before I made this project, I kept my makeup brushes piled up in a drawer. Now, they are all in perfect view so I can choose which ones to use. I'm not sure where I first heard about this idea, but I've seen it various places across the web.

For this simple organizer, you will need a clear container (I used a crystal bowl), a bag of filler beads (can be purchased at craft stores), and your brushes!

All you have to do is pour the beads into the bowl, and then stick your brushes in!

The beads keep the brushes standing up straight. And there you go- a (very) simple makeup brush holder!

If you use your makeup brushes regularly, you should also wash them regularly to keep them clean and free of bacteria. I clean mine about once a week. To do this, I bring them into the bathroom and rub soap through the bristles. Then, I ring the brush out and place it on a tissue to dry overnight.

*Have a fantastic week!*

Hair Accessories Organization

Last night I re-organized all of my hair accesories. Here is what my drawer was like before:

And after:

So much better! I put all of my bobby pins, barrettes, small clips, sports headbands, etc. into little individual containers towards the front of the drawer. At the back of the drawer I put all of my hair elastics and large clips. To organize my hair elastics, I have two rings that I keep them on. Here is one of them:

Also, I put all of my seasonal/costume hair accessories into a plastic bag which I also placed at the back of the drawer:

Finally, I put all of my brushes and combs in a hanging basket. I also hung all of my plastic headbands on the edge.

*Have a great weekend!*
