Ready for summer sandal season!

Manicures aren't my thing. In my employment I can't have painted nails, it is an infection control risk.

But toes ... that's another matter! And in summer you are only half dressed without pretty toes - right!

I found this great little clear draw organiser in amongst the kitchen baskets etc at Big W. It was inexpensive and means all my manicure and pedicure items are together and easy to grab when I get a second spare.



In the tray I have my nail varnishes, cotton buds, nail files, clippers, scissors, polish remover and hand cream. Oh - and I've added heal balm since I took this photo!

It makes my heart happy to see it all ready and neat and tidy!

Bathroom organisation - when you hardly have any room

My bathroom is tiny. And ugly. And old. You never see pics of it! There is a reason!

Paul and I are thinking of renovations later in the year - but we need to get the kitchen done, then the office first I think

One thing that DOES work in our bathroom is this. As there is pretty much no storage I use a shoe organiser on the back of the door. Each pocket has a purpose (eg hair clips, make up, thermometer, etc.

It is easy to use. You can see what is there at a glance and it stores a heap. But it also puts limits too -if the pocket is full then you need to rethink what you are storing.

Maybe not the most elegant solution, but it works for me.

Boon frog pod

We had a fun day today!

The morning at Ikea and Howard's Storage World.
The afternoon at Dreamworld for some family fun.

I found heaps of great things on my shopping trip - all bought with an exact purpose in mind. Over the next few days I will show you some of these ideas and what we do with them!



This was bought at Howard's Storage World - it's the frog pod by boon. A scoop to pick up bath toys that mounts on the wall to store and drain them and has room for all those bubble baths and shampoos as well.

Miss E is definately old enough to use this after her bath. It should really help contain those bath time toys and some of the chaos. Only problem is it might mean I need to clean my bath more often now I can see the actual bath!!!
