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.

DIY Fishbowl Plant

Hey guys. Sorry I haven’t been on in a while. I was very busy with school, but now that it’s summer, I am able to write more. Today I wanted to show you guys a DIY Fishbowl pot/ plant. This idea isn’t mine on my own, but I have done things to mine to make it unique. I have seen it on Pinterest but I did my own little twist to make it more for me. I hope you guys enjoy this blog post and be sure to follow ExploreAesthetic for more like it.

Main Materials 

• A fishbowl (or any bowl that you please, just make sure it can hold water)
• Potting Soil
• Any seeds/ plants that you choose\
• Optional: Fairy Lights or Rocks/ Marbles

Instructions

1. Put some of the potting soil into a clean fishbowl. You want it about a little over a quarter full.
2.  Add seeds or plants to the soil as instructions show
3. Add Marbles or Rocks if desired
4. Water the plants and let them sit in a sunny area.

OPTIONAL: Add fairy lights or paint to customize your fishbowl plant. You can get really creative here.

That is it! This DIY is so simple yet so creative. If you had a fish in the past and still have that fish bowl laying around,

this would be the perfect way to use it. Also, this is a pretty cheap project. The bowl I got from Walmart was around $6 and seeds are a little over a dollar. The soil you can find in your own backyard so this project rounds to $7.50 total. This was a fun project and added a earthy touch to my room.

5 Work/ School Hacks

Hey guys. Today I wanted to show you 5 hacks that can help you get ready for work or school easier and quicker. These hacks are very simple, but can help you in the long run.

1. Outfit Board

I created a outfit board because I was always wasting time and struggling to find a outfit to wear in the morning. If you create a outfit board and list what you want to wear everyday for the week (I usually do it on Sunday), all you have to do is grab it out of your closet and put it on! I made my outfit board with a chalkboard and chalk. I divided it with the 5 days of the week and wrote down what I was going to wear that week.

 

2. Beauty Care Labeling

In the morning, it could be stressful trying to master your makeup and skincare routine
with such little time. Knowing what to do first when completing your routine could be helpful. Adding label stickers marked with numbers on your products can help you know what to do first if you are tired in the morning and can’t focus. Also putting your products in a organized area with a mirror can be a easier way to keep everything together and ready to put on.

3. Homework/ Work Paper
Writing down what homework or job work you need to get done throughout the week can be a great way to get rid of stress and stay organized. I usually write down the stuff I need to do on a regular piece of paper but sometimes I put it on my display thread. If you get a certain work task every week, make a weekly work chart to know what you have to get done for the week.

4. Calendar

Although most people know this, a calendar can be your best friend. Writing down specific things on days can help you keep track of what you need to do for that day. All you have to do each morning is look at it everyday to see if you have anything important needed to be done. Keeping a calendar in your room will you you on your toes and organized for school or work.

5. Backpack

Keeping a bag to store all your work and necessities is really important. Keeping everything together and neat can help you relieve stress and let you know what you need for each day. The night before, get everything together in your bag so when you wake up in the morning, you will be ready to go.

 

 

 

I hope these simple hacks and tips help you get through work or school faster and easier. If you enjoyed this post, leave a like and follow exploreaesthetic for more posts like this.

3 DIYS

Hey guys. This post is 3 DIYS that are common, but get the job done. I don’t use exact measurements in the DIYS because they aren’t precise. Today I have recipes for a lip scrub, a face mask, and a hair mask. I hope you enjoy these DIYS and try them out for yourself.

1. Lip Scrub

This DIY is so simple but makes you lips so soft and smooth. You can keep it anywhere and stays fresh for a while. All you need for this DIY is:

1 Part Sugar

1 Part Honey/Oil

Optional: Coconut Oil. Adding a little bit of coconut oil helps moisturize your lips.

You can really customize this scrub. I used a light amount of food dye to color it. Don’t add too much or it can dye your lips that color. I also added vanilla extract to add a nice taste to the scrub.

Mix the ingredients together and store it in a jar. Since all the ingredients are edible, after you scrub them on your lips, you can lick it off. If not your preference, wipe the scrub off
with a wet towel.

2. Face Mask

This DIY is also very simple but makes you face moisturized and soft. It includes many of the ingredients from the lip scrub. Sadly, I didn’t have the avocado with me for this recipe so I couldn’t make the DIY today.

1 Part Avocado

1 Part Honey

1/2 Part Yogurt

Optional: Coconut oil for extra hydration

Mix the ingredients in a bowl and apply to face. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and wash off with a wet towel.

3. Hair Mask

This hair mask is very basic but helps keep your hair strong and hydrated. All you need for this DIY is:

1 Egg

1 Part Milk

1/2 Part Lemon Juice

1/4 Part Oil

Optional: Coconut Oil; Great conditioner to soften hair.

Mix the ingredients together in a bowl. Apply to hair and let it sit for 10- 15 minutes. Rinse off in shower.

That is the 3 DIYS I will be showing you guys today. If you enjoyed, leave a like and follow my blog to get more ideas like this.
