Staying Organized

Posted on by

I’m a fan of to-do lists. Like a huge fan.

I have them on my iPhone, my iPad. my Macbook, on both my cork and white boards, on the fridge, and on crumpled sheets in my purse (often on the back of receipts.) It’s just how I function — I WILL NOT remember the avocados at the grocery store unless I see them on my list and I won’t get that errand done unless I give myself a friendly little reminder.

Whether the obsession is healthy or not, it gets things done and it feels oh soo good to cross something off my to-do list — a sense of accomplishment.

Last year, I mistakenly bought pages for my planner ending in July 2012 — so at the beginning of the month I was left without use of my favorite to-do list keeper, special date reminder and address book all-in-one: my leather planner.

I purchased these Franklin Covey Botanica planner refills and I’m definitely purchasing them again for 2013. Simple, elegant pages make something as simple as marking a lunch date feel special and personal.

How do you stay organized? At home – at the office – I’d love to hear ideas!

Fab Finds

I named this blog Stuff I Spend My Money On not because I’m a shopaholic, debt-ridden 20something, but because I think you’ll dig the stuff I buy.

Here’s what I found today:

$6 for the set at target.

I found these adorable little ceramic owls in the discount department at Target and had to have them for our new apartment (someday.) Not sure if I’ll end up putting anything in them, but I figure they’ll at the very least make cute bookends.

I hopped on the fedora band wagon a while ago, but I thought this one was a little twist on my basic straw/black band style. This is a light grey version of the classic and I can’t wait to pair it with my basic black maxi dress for a weekend at the vineyard.

I really can’t own enough pairs of wedges — and for $10, I couldn’t walk away.

My mom and I made what was supposed to be a quick stop in Bath & Body Works and ended up leaving with 6 of these 8 oz. bottles of body mist and two amazing smelling handsoaps. Sensual Amber was my favorite — a late summer night kind of smell.

under $5 each at target.

Summer is in full swing and a daily leave-in conditioner is a must. Andddd I love all aussie products.

Just for a little taste of how we kicked off our shopping experience….

thanks, old navy.
