- Hey, I'm Terri Savelle Foy, your cheerleader of dreams.
Today I wanna take you with me to the Dollar Store
to show you some creative, inexpensive ways
to declutter and organize your life.
(upbeat music)
But first, can I ask you to favor?
Would you subscribe to this channel

and my team know that you're enjoying these weekly videos

and I want you to know how truly, truly grateful I am
to have you as one of my subscribers.
Now when it comes to organizing the entryway,
the foyer or the backdoor entrance of your home,
these areas are so important to be clutter free
because they are the first impression of the house.
Unfortunately, this is where most of the family
dumps their belongings.
This area of the house sets the tone
for what we enter and exit every day.
So when you walk into an area filled with junk,
it can instantly drain your energy
and set a negative tone for the family.
An organized clean entryway makes life peaceful.
So number one, bins and baskets.
Purchase bins or baskets and assign one
for each family member with their name on it.
Store their belongings each time they enter the house,
you know, stuff like newspapers, sports equipment,
gloves, jackets, scarves.
Number two, multipurpose hooks or hanging systems.
Attach hooks to a decorative piece
or to hang on the back of the door for items such as
car keys, coats, backpacks, dog leashes.
You know it reduces time spent searching every morning
and they're easily accessible as you run out the door.
The bathroom.
No matter how big or small your bathroom is,
there are ways to keep it clutter free.
In addition to be more attractive and sanitary,
a tidy bathroom makes it quicker to get ready
in the morning, so how do you organize this space?
Well my third point is your average kitchen utensil tray
is perfect for arranging hairbrushes, combs
and all those little burettes and hair ties
that easily turn into your bathroom drawer from being nice
to be in a junk drawer.
Now it's not just for storing knives, spoons and forks,
you can place your hair essentials in this streamlined
organized space that typically fits any size drawer.
Number four, cardboard magazine holders.
You can use a cardboard magazine holder
to store your curling irons, flat irons, brushes, combs
neatly on the countertop with this decorative piece.
Now this one is funny, number five is a tic tac dispenser.
Now what in the world is this for?
Well, Redbook magazine recommended a creative way
to store all your loose bobby pins by utilizing
an empty Tic Tac dispenser.
What a unique way to locate
those tiny little pins immediately.
Number six, cookie jars.
You can use cookie jars purchased from the local
Dollar store to house your nail polish collection,
or buy several clear cookie jars
to group certain colors together.
Number seven, a muffin or loaf pan.
You can sort your lipsticks and place them
in a miniature muffin or loaf pan
typically stored in the kitchen
and they make a perfect storage for all those lipstick tubes
just piling up in a bathroom drawer.
Number eight, a cake tray.
You can enhance your bathroom vanity
and save a little extra space by using
a two tiered cake tray to display your perfumes and lotions.
Number nine, buckets.
Get a bucket and store all of your bathroom
cleaning products in one space under the sink.
This makes it more efficient to quickly clean sinks, toilets
and bathtubs routinely rather than dreading
walking to the laundry room or the kitchen sink
to find the bathroom products.
It's easily accessible and it can become
just a part of your nightly ritual.
Let me say a quick point here, keep as few things
as possible and necessary on your vanity or countertops
'cause it makes the overall appearance just look neater
and it makes it easier to wipe clean each morning.
Jewelry, number 10, a paper towel holder.
I love this idea of utilizing a paper towel holder
to stack bracelets neatly and allows you to use
vertical space and see what you have at a glance.
Number 11, an ice cube tray.
Use a simple inexpensive ice cube tray to house
your small earrings and prevent them
from getting all mixed up.
Number 12, nuts and bolts organizers.
Use this for larger earrings and necklaces
and you can put labels on them like I have
so it's not overwhelming finding what you need
and even all the colors you need.
Let's talk about the closet.
Number 13 is shower hooks.
Now a great way to organize your belts
is by hanging shower hooks on your closet door
and organizing your belts on those hooks and you can also
use the hooks to hang scarves, bathrobes
and even long necklaces.
14, shoe bins or tubs.
You can take advantage of those nifty hanging
shoe organizers or just average bins
by rolling up your sweaters
to fit perfectly in the cubbies as well.
15, empty shoe boxes or bins.
You can use just your empty shoe boxes
to organize your socks and undergarments in the drawers
and it makes the easy to locate what you need
and prevents the small items from just getting lost
in the back of the drawer.
Let's move to the kitchen, number 16, a shower caddy.
You can repurpose a shower caddy on the side of a cabinet
or inside the pantry door to display your onions,
peppers, fruit, et cetera.
Number 17, I thought this is really creative,
it's an empty tissue box.
You know we all have those plastic bags
from the grocery store just crammed in a cabinet
or under the kitchen sink just in case we need them.
They take up so much space and never look organized.
We'll try using an empty tissue box to store them inside
and easily pull out when you need them.
Number 18, clear canisters.
You can reduce the storage needed in your pantry
by purchasing clear canisters
and emptying your cereal boxes, rice or other box goods
into these containers on the countertop.
It frees up space, looks creative and allows you to see
how much of each item is remaining.
19, cardboard magazine holder.
Again, you can take advantage of storing sandwich bags
tin foil and plastic wrap in a typical
cardboard magazine holder.
It keeps them straight, organized and easy to grab
and stores neatly in the pantry or in the cabinet.
Number 20, utensil holder.
Using your average utensil holder you can arrange
your creative taste and specialty teas
by displaying them neatly in this typical cutlery tray
and place them in a kitchen drawer or pantry shelf.
21, a vase, utilize the vase that once housed your roses
by storing your tall utensils such as spatulas and spoons
in this beautiful piece and storing it on the counter.
22, cookie jar.
Rather than trying to hunt them down each time
you decide to make shapes, place all of your cookie cutters
inside the cookie jar.
Let's move to your home office, 23 a spice rack.
The old spice rack is not only used for spices these days,
it can also house your desk necessities
in a creative, cool way to display on your desk.
Use individual spice containers for paperclips, thumbtacks
rubber bands, small postage and so much more.
24, a garment bag.
Place all your tubes and rolls of wrapping paper
in a garment bag and hang it in the guest bedroom closet
or hall closet.
The garage.
Now the craziest thing about a cluttered garage
is that most of the stuff taking up the space
is of worth very little compared to the costly car
that's parked out in the driveway
because there's no room in the garage.
I speak from experience (laughs).
So in the garage number 25, let's use the spice rack again.
Now this is a creative way to organize all those
little nuts, bolts, screws and nails
from getting mixed up in a drawer.
You can organize them display them and prevent them
from getting all mixed up.
So pick and choose from this variety of organizing tips
and tricks to get your home the way you desire it to be.
Remember, cleanliness and organization make you feel good,
keeps your mind clear, presents just an excellent image
to those around you and it builds your confidence.
There is a natural connection between the order
of your environment and the state of your mind.
Outer order equals inner calm, you like that?
I love that statement.
