Get Organized In The New Year with These Clutter-Reducing Tips!

image
Is your New Year's resolution to organize your closet, your house, your life? If the things around you in your everyday life are in order, you might find yourself with a more orderly mind as well. So we've found some great storage items to help you reduce the clutter in your home - and maybe add to its beauty at the same time! Look for furniture that does double duty, such as a trunk-style coffee table in which you can store magazines and books. Put clothing you don't use year-round under your bed and out of the way. Hang CDs and DVDs from a door with a media rack. Save space with shelves that lean against the wall instead of a bulkier bookcase. Or put up photos on an interesting wall shelf from West Elm. You're sure to clear up space and clear your head. Check out the SLIDESHOW!

Can't Afford to Travel? Take a Vacation in Your Own City!

image
These days, people are looking to get away but may not be able to justify buying a plane ticket, a room at a pricey hotel, or even a couple of extra tanks of gas for a road trip. That being said, why not take a vacation without even leaving your city? It's easier than you might think. You often don't do the touristy things in your own town, and this is your chance! If you're an outdoorsy person, spend a day at your local indoor rock climbing gym or learn to surf. Grab a picnic basket full of goodies and head to your local park. You could even make your own home into a campsite by setting up sleeping bags in your living room and making s'mores. If you normally like to completely relax on your vacations, leave your cell phone at home and book yourself a day at the spa. Or instead of cooking dinner, go out to a great restaurant you haven't tried or browse the Lonely Planet guide for your own city and explore! The possibilities are endless. Check out the SLIDESHOW and get to it!

For something a little different than your standard message t-shirt, wrap up in a scarf like this one by Sir Alistair Rai. Spotted on countless celebrities, they are one-of-a-kind pieces made by hand by artisans in India, and each one is hand-painted with a Hindu prayer and words like "peace," "hope," "love," and "karma." With all the war in the world, why not choose to wear one of these beautiful scarves and support peace in your own little way this winter? You really can't go wrong!
