Get It At Ross:
I just wanted to write a short blog post to catalog what I have been buying lately to organize my life. I feel that I have been very disorganized in my home life due to a lack of taking the time to understand what I want, and put in the labor to create the environment I desire. It is not expensive, it just takes time, patience, and bargain-hunting skills. I have always loved Ross for its affordability and have always found great deals there more than any of the other discount stores. I have 3 or 4 Ross Stores in my area and I usually end up going to all of them to find what I want, the best look, for the price I want to spend.
Shoe Rack:
This much needed purposed has elevated my shoes and hats off of the ground finally. They used to be thrown all over the place, which lead them to becoming harder to find, and I was always tripping over them. I liked this one because it easily fits on the door in my walk-in closet. I also liked it because it was easy to put together and required no tools, and had a minimal amount of steps. Great buy. $12.99

Asian Tea Set:
I will be writing a future post about the benefits of herbal tea, but for now suffice it to say I am a tea junky. I got it from my mama. Her love of tea has transferred to me and I thought this tea set, with a built in infuser would be the perfect way to sip loose leaf tea (since I currently only use tea bags. It looks great and I found some trays at Target to keep them nicely on the counter top. Love it. $9.99

Weigh your options:
My P90 coach Jason, told me I need to start weighing my food to keep up with my weight loss goals. I finally, and luckily, found an affordable scale, that looks great and is very easy to use. It was the last one left at this store so I snagged it. I hope to start using it soon, so I sat it out on the counter for easy access. Steal. $14.99.

Journal:
I originally went to Marshall's looking for a notebook that had a cool Seth Godin quote on it, but unfortunately I did not find one. I did however find this book, which I think suits me better. I am excited to start writing new lyric ideas in my journal. It also looks great on my 1979 Rhodes. $3.99 (as compared to $7-15 at Target).

Desk Organizer:
My wallet, keys etc. always were thrown on top of my Crosley remake 5 in 1 record player, making it difficult to play records on it. My friend and band mate Luis commented on this fact the last time he visited, so when I saw this organizer, I knew I had to get it. I finally can find everything (I've lost many chapsticks over the years, and have spent hours looking for the remote).

Comforter set and mattress pad:
My bed has been in disarray for sometime. It was uncomfortable and none of the linens fit correctly anymore. I set out on a mission to find a new set that had all the pieces I wanted for the right price. I had to go to 5 stores to finally find one I liked. It had the fitted sheet, the bed skirt, the flat sheet, the shams. pillow cases and comforter I needed, and I got a new mattress pad ( which is really more a mattress pad cover) too. Now it looks and feels great and I did not have to spend a lot of money, just time. $27.99 + $16.99.

I will be spending the next few weeks working on fixing up my place so I can finally move out of the dorm style, into a more adult contemporary style. Happy hunting! :)
