A New Way to Clean Out Your Closet

January 11, 2010

After the excess of the holidays I tend to adopt a more minimalist outlook.  This year the manifestation of this mindset took the form of: de-cluttering every single surface in our apartment (cleansing on so many levels!), tracking purchases and avoiding any unnecessary ones and tackling the monster that is my closet.  The traditional rule [...]

Handbag Heaven: The Maintenance Program

September 20, 2009

Last year, I wrote a post about how to keep your handbag in a clean and tidy state.  Today as I dug through my purse and felt loose coins, old receipts and lip gloss rolling around at the bottom, I felt my irritation rise.  How hypocritical of me to write about keeping an organized, clean [...]

Making the Most of Business Travel

August 7, 2009

Handbag Heaven or Hell?

November 26, 2008

You reach into your handbag for your lip gloss and instead grab...an old receipt, a crumpled candy wrapper, or, evil of all evils, crumbs.  This is my version of handbag hell.  Why is it so impossible to keep my handbag clean and organized?  I decided to tackle this question as a project and began by [...]

Musings on list-making

June 19, 2008

This entry is written especially for my fellow list makers out there. We are a special breed. We thrive on making lists on fresh leafs of paper, preferably lined, and either neatly numbered, or, if we are especially accomplishment oriented (as I am), with boxes in front of each item that we can checkmark when [...]
