Life is not always rosy

In my last Instagram post, I talked about life not always as rosy and colorful as it appears on Instagram. let me elaborate just a little bit. I have been totally focused on my Mother for last 2 weeks 24/7. My mother, a very active and healthy lady was diagnosed with a brain tumor 5 weeks ago. Her tumor was removed successfully 2 weeks ago and is recovering as expected. I need all the wishes and prayers and I am so grateful to God for giving us the insight to catch this early on. 

I stayed with her in the hospital throughout her stay. I started this post as I sat right next to her hospital bed and hope to write details later. She came home 3 days ago and has been receiving rehab services at home. 

guest blogger

While I was in the hospital with my mother, I got a friendly reminder email from Zowie who had expressed her desire to write a guest blog post for me a few months ago. Though I have few style posts in draft mode I did not have time to finish them anytime soon.  I immediately jumped on the idea of presenting unique content on my blog and asked her to send me her draft.

It has always been in my mind to have a guest blogger on my blog who can share their expertise which resonates with my blog content. It is my pleasure to introduce first guest blogger on Modlotus.com today, Zowie Ashton. I sincerely want to thank Zowie Ashton for sharing her expert tips on organization @modlotus.com.

Here is Zowie Ashton!!
My name is Zowie Ashton. I am a writer of blog articles and I am really passionate about topics related to home improvement, cleaning, and organizing. I am a mother of two gorgeous girls and together with my husband we own a small cleaning company based in London, UK. In my free time, I love to write.

How to Overcome the Wardrobe Disorganization

Taking care of your wardrobe is essential to the good condition of your clothes. You should do a regular cleaning and organize when seasons change, in order to keep it in its best condition. Women, especially, tend to hold on to clothes they don’t need, and men neglect the cleaning. Therefore, we decided to make a helpful list of a few tips for you, on how to keep away from a not cleaned and disorganized wardrobe.

1. take out all of your clothes

The first thing you need to do before you start cleaning or organizing is to take out all of your clothes. Empty the whole wardrobe and drawers and put all of your clothes where you can see them.

2. divide them into different categories

Now, divide them into different categories. You can do it by colors, by seasons, whatever works best for you. Put together shirts and separate them from T-shirts, divide shorts from trousers, and so on.

3. get rid of the items you don’t need

Carefully look every item and decide whether it will stay or leave, because, even if you deny it, we know you definitely have at least one piece of clothing that you don’t need. And at least one that doesn’t fit you anymore, but you hold on to it because you love it. Sometimes it’s hard to let go of things, especially for women, but what you don’t wear – you definitely don’t need. Decide if you will donate the clothes, repair them, or just throw them away, but make sure that you are going to get rid of the items that you know you don’t need.

4. clean thoroughly your wardrobe and drawers

The next step, after you’ve already decided how you will organize your clothes, is to clean thoroughly your wardrobe and drawers, before you put everything back in there. Use rubbing alcohol and cloths to wipe the surfaces and if you prefer covering the shelves with contact paper or something like that, it’s a good idea. Cleaning your wardrobe is not the only thing included in the proper cleaning procedure. Make sure your clothes are clean too, before you put them back, if not – launder them.

5. organize your own wardrobe

  • Now, it’s time to find out which is the best way to organize your own wardrobe. You can divide the drawers by cutting shoe boxes and order the pieces whatever you like. This is a good organizational method and keeps little clothing items like socks and lingerie separated.
  • Women love scarves and a good way to organize them is to tie them around hangers, or simply use a tie hanger. Another way to put them in one place is to use hooks on the doors of your wardrobe. Hooks can be also used to hang bras on them if you prefer it.
  • A tip for both men and women to double their hanger space is to use tabs from soda cans. You’ve probably already seen this method, so why don’t give it a try? If you need more space for your cardigans or your jackets, this way you save a lot of space and you can still see every clothing item.
  • Forget about hanging more than one clothing piece on one hanger. You do save space, but when you need something it will be harder to find it and you will end up with clothes on the floor. This method can be only used for scarves, shoulder strap tops or suits.

6. keep your wardrobe and clothes clean and fresh

And finally, if you want to keep your wardrobe and clothes clean and fresh, you can put some air fresheners in there. They will fill the air with nice scent and will also make your clothes smell whatever you like. Choose something you like and make sure it’s not a haunting smell.

These tips might work for you, but they might also not. Choose the ones that fit your expectations and you can also invent your own ways to fit the clothes in your wardrobe. The point is to organize your wardrobe and drawers the way it will be handy for you.

    I wish the best of luck to your mom, so glad it was caught quickly and she’s recovering well! I have never heard of the tabs from soda cans trick, I need to google that!

    I hardly ever do this but I did recently and it made me feel so good. Sometimes decluttering is good for the soul. Wonderful tips! #FabFridayPost

    These are great ideas! Earlier this year I was doing the Konmari method for spring cleaning so you just made me revisit my unfinished goal of tidying up my closet.
