the new year is the perfect time to organize in style

New Year’s to me is like the first day of school. It’s a fresh start, a clean sheet of paper – time to get organized. The place that always seems to fall apart the fastest, is my handbag. No matter how hard I try, it inevitably looks like it’s been ransacked by thieves. This year, 2009 will be different! I’m going to buy myself an organizer/journal that fits nicely in my bag, so I can actually takes notes in one place. As opposed to my current system, which consists of writing on the back of old receipts. I’m also going to buy a new wallet with plenty of compartments. That way, everything will have a home instead of being jammed in one place. I’m going to put my make-up in a travel size make-up bag instead of trying to find it at the bottom of the endless pit (my tote). My phone, which always finds the one place in my bag that I don’t look, will live in a Fabrix case and I will always be able to find it. Oh… and I’m planning on buying a really pretty pair of shoes on sale – that has nothing to do with organizing – just sheer pleasure. Let’s do it! This is the year I’m going to keep my bag organized for more than a few days!
