5 Room Hacks

Hey guys. Today I wanted to show you 5 rooms hacks that will help keep your room neat and organized. I gathered these hacks from time and found they really helped me keep my room neat and everything was organized. If you enjoy this blog post, follow ExploreAesthetic for more posts like this.

 

1. Belt/ Scarf Holder

This first hack is to use a simple clothespin to hold your belts or scarves. All you have to do is coil your belt or scarf up and pin it with a clothespin. I found this hack saves space and looks very neat. I used belts for this hack but you can  also use scarves.

2. Clay Ring Holder

The next hack is making a ring holder out of clay. I was going to buy one online but then I realized if I just used some clay I had laying around, I could make my own. You can make just a simple ring holder, but I went with a cactus mold. It is very simple yet it looks very nice in a room. All you do is mold the clay into whatever shape you want and set it up. You can bake it so it won’t move, but I didn’t have a problem with that so I just kept it as it was.

3. Shoe Bins

This hack may seem very simple and straightforward, but it is efficient. Putting shoes you don’t wear too often in a bin saves space and looks very neat, rather than having them in shoeboxes. I used to have several pairs of shoes in shoe boxes and it took up a bunch of closet space. This hack gives you back room and looks great.

4.  Book Crate

This hack is for when you want to display your books in a creative way. I got a simple crate and stored my books in it and found out it looks amazing, while keeping my books organized. Also, I’ve been thinking about making another book recommendations, so leave a comment letting me know if you want me to make another one.

5. Office Supply Makeup Storage

This hack was very convenient for me because school was over and I had my locker storage bins ready for organization. I stored some of my makeup products on a shelf but they kept falling over constantly. Putting them in a bin helped me get to my makeup faster and easier.

Winter Essentials (Part 2)

Hey guys. A little while back I wrote a Winter Essentials post. Since there was many different essentials, I decided to split the post into two parts. This is the second part of Winter Essentials. I hope you enjoy this post and be sure to leave a like.

1. Candles 
   

Winter is very brisk and cold and I tend to stay in my warm house all day. One of my favorite things to do in the wintertime is light candles. Most of my candles come from Bath and Body works but I have a few from other places. Candles are very relaxing and makes my room smell amazing. In this picture, I was burning a candle called In from the Cold by Sonoma. I have been thinking of doing a candle update post so let me know if you want me to do that.

2. Blankets

Blankets in the winter are my top priority. A soft blanket or a light cable knit throw is the perfect accessory for beds. Not only that, but they keep you warm and comfy. I love having a blanket on me when doing most things at home because it makes me feel relaxed and comfortable. (I am using a blanket while writing this post!) The blanket in this photo is a red cable knit blanket from Ralph Lauren. I love throwing blankets on my bed because they look great and they keep you warm at night.

3. Socks
During the winter, I never leave my house without socks on. Socks are amazing because they are a staple clothing items to whatever outfit. My favorite way to style socks is with combat boots and long, patterned socks. I also love wearing fuzzy socks inside my house to keep my feet warm and cozy. The majority of my socks come from American
Eagle and I love their patterns. Socks in winter are a must.

4. Books

When I have a lazy winter day where I just want to stay in my warm house and relax, I love picking up a good book to read. Books are a great way to unwind and let someone else do the thinking for you. Staying comfy in a bed with a book in your hands is perfect for a cold winter day. I have been reading lots of great motivational books that help me get through the days of snow. If you want to know some of the books I have been reading, check out my Book Recommendations post.

Measure your paper bags to cover each book.

Cut the paper bags to the size needed.
