Organized Closet

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 08:20:31 +0000

I could say that I’m, so far, faring well with organizing my closet. Most probably because I’ve decluttered most of my old clothing in Makati and decided to just donate them a few months ago. It was a great timing that a niece who’s in her OJT schooling now was in need of smart casuals and office apparels. So most of my office slacks, blouses, and even my BPI and Globe Telecom uniforms were passed on to her. I also gave away most of my no longer used “pa-tweetums” and teen going out outfits which I can never wear again since I’m already a Mom. I also donated a few gowns and even my prom dress! I am one sentimental person and letting go of things is always a hurdle for me but since I really wanted to start “fresh” and anew in our new Little Mansion, I just brought along my favorite pieces. Take a peek at my closet now and it’s so emptily “aalog-alog”. (Yeah, but I’m afraid, this won’t stay for long because I’ve been shopping and updating my wardrobe crazily these days..hehe!)

On Mens Shorts and Decluttering the Wardrobe

We usually don’t realize how much we own until we’re packing for a move. At times when our belongings become a hassle, we wish, for once, that we had less rather than more. If you’ve resolved to live more simply, you’ll have to part with a lot of “stuff.” One of the best places to start is your wardrobe.

It’s difficult to throw things out, especially if you have sentimental attachments to them. Start with deciding what doesn’t fit. You may need to keep a full-length mirror handy so you can try on clothes you aren’t sure about. Once you’ve sorted out what doesn’t fit, put it aside to donate to a charity or to friends. Don’t pine over it; it’s going to a good cause.

Next, you should get all the clothes out of your closet that you don’t actually wear. This may take several seasons as you monitor your wardrobe for unworn items. One strategy for clothes in your closet is to turn all of your hangers backward and only turn them forward once you’ve worn the item. At the end of the season, all the clothes still hanging backward haven’t been worn—and should find another place to hang out, like the Goodwill. This should be done season-by-season because it’s easier to tell why you’re not wearing something. The mens shorts you hung in your closet won’t be worn while there’s snow on the ground, but you’ll need them again by summer.

Getting rid of clothes that you don’t wear or that don’t fit you will probably create a lot of space in your closet. This doesn’t mean you need to go shopping. Try to create new outfit combinations with only the clothes you have and carefully make new wardrobe purchases that will work with many other items in your closet. You’ll feel better and look better with a less cluttered closet.

For my Little Quarterback

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 10:01:59 +0000

Finally the search is over.

It seems that my toddler son, at such a very young age, already displays interest in sports. It’s very evident that he loves all types of balls whether it be basketball, a tennis ball, a softball, a pingpong ball, etc. He shrieks in delight and exclaims “bu!” every time he sees one. This actually amuses the sports-minded Daddy because he really would love our son to be equally athletic as him. In fact, he even already thought of the summer sports clinics that our tot will attend starting next year. He also has started collecting sports merchandise for the little one like NBA shirts, a toy golf club and a mini-bastketball hoop.

Now if you’re wondering what I’m pertaining to when I said that the search is over, it’s an online shop for NFL Merchandise. I’ve been looking for a toddler sized football uniform to complete his sport paraphernalia collection. Nfluniformset.com is the ultimate resource for NFL Helmet and uniform sets specifically geared for children ages 4 to 10 years old. For as cheap as $39.99, my little tot can have a complete football outfit with an official logo NFL Jersey whether it be the Chicago Bears, Dollas Cowboys or Seattle Seahawks or the others, a NFL Helmet, double stitched pants, and iron on numbers. The texture is not a concern for his sensitive skin as it is made by Franklin Sports, the trusted leader in sports apparels and equipment. The jersey is made of soft double knit 100% polyester along with a pants that have elastic waistband and cuffs. The pants actually may also be worn as pajamas at night or as day time fun play outfit. It’s really functional and it can even be worn in themed parties.

I can’t wait to get my son a small size of this and get a picture of him as a quarterback.

And I can’t wait to let him wear this when we get to this team’s home town in a year or two.
