Scarf Organization - Video

Does anyone's entryway closet look like this?

I thought baskets would contain the mess....It didn't

So this is what I did...

AFTER

Much better contained!

Hmmm...I need to make my March To-Do List. Tomorrow maybe?

Day 1: Sunblock

I've seen some pretty good "31 Days to..." series, but they are all related to home improvement. What about ourselves? It's hard to take care of a home if you don't take care of yourself first.

Don't worry, I'm not going to make you run 5 miles every day and move to a self-sustaining village.

I'm going to suggest small ways to get you healthier and happier.

Sound good?

Day 1: Sunblock

---------------------

Shame on you if you live in the south and don't wear this daily. What about us far north girls? You still need to wear it!

We've been lectured about his before....many....many times.

My personal excuses for not wearing daily sunblock:

1. I'm indoors most the time (if you can see in your house without the lights on, you need sunblock)

2. I want to have at least a little tan (you can still get tan skin with wearing sunblock and receive no damage)

3. Sunblock leaves my skin greasy and gross, especially on my face.

#3- That's my biggest complaint. I finally consulted a makeup pro.

There are body SPF lotions, and lotions specifically made for the face. They are non-greasy, quick absorbing, and fast drying. They do, however, have to be reapplied more frequently, especially if you are sweating.

Try this one from Clinique at a BonTon store near you (Younkers, Boston Store, Herbergers, CPS, Elder Beermans...) Go on March 9th for the Goodwill Sale. Bring in a clothing item that you wish to donate, recieve a coupon that can work on cosmetics.

You can also try concealer with SPF already in it.

Try this one from Lancome. Again, you can find this at a BonTon store. While your there, take a look at the rest of the Renergie line. This stuff will make your skin look like 12 years old, haha!

There are also many drug store varieties, so just keep trying different brands until you find one that you like and stick...with...it!

Stave off melanoma and look good at the same time!

Come back in about an hour for another video post!

 

Progress

I promise I'll have some projects coming your way soon.

I wanted to work on my video post, but the store I went to didn't have the right size "something" to get my project done. Hopefully I can find the material I need today.

So...by now some of you should know that I'm in school. In another 1.5 weeks, I'll be done with my acclerated class and I'll have tons more free time.

So what else is taking up my time?

I've been working out every chance that I get. I've already dropped a pants size (which has NEVER happened to me before!).

yes....I blurred out my weight on the chart. Still not ready to reveal that!

Come back tomorrow for the first day of my 31 series!

Coming up...

Sorry again, guys, for my lack of projects. I'm juggling a lot right now.

BUT I do want to let you in on what will be going on here at Superwoman.

1. A new video tuturial. You want to check it out if you have OOCD (Organizational Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) like me. It's simple, fast, and easy.

2. A "31 Days to..." series. It's not decorating or home-improvement related. I'm using it as a filler for the days that I don't post any projects. That means there may be two posts in a day. You'll want to be around for it!

3. A VERY late V-day project. Hey, I can store it for next year!

4. Highlights of the gayla I will be attending (and maybe a video of "the 303 dance party" lol.)

5. St. Patty's Day decor. (and my b-day!)

6. And of course, random extras that I like to throw in. (Maybe another giveaway?)

Madison

Guess where I'm going?

We are going to a UW Schools Studen Senate Gayla (spelled right?)

Anyways, I have never been away from my kids for more than overnight, so I'm excited/nervous about this!

I have a dress being shipped in from New York. That's how excited I am.

Beautiful Madison, I haven't seen you since I was almost too young to remember...

And do you know what they have in Madison???

Yeah yeah, sure they have the capitol...

...but I can't wait to step foot in...

...POTTERY BARN!! hehe

I've never been to one, can you tell?

So I know this place is extremely expensive. I've visited their site. It's crazy.

So I'm going to scour the place for ideas. Maybe a Clearance item or two.

I think I can make these:

Shape some steel wool, spray paint it black (dark brown?) and stick a Dollor Tree votive in it.

Thanks for the idea, Pottery Barn!

I also have my eyes set on these:

They are pretty cheap for the set of 6. I love the numbers on them!

And I'm sure that Pottery Barn must have other things not listed on their site, so we'll see what I come home with!
