Must Haves

These are a few things that I swear have made my life a little less hectic or are staples in my closet. They are without a doubt some of the best purchases I have made.

Bedroom/Storage

1. Wonder Hangers.

Yes I do mean the As-Seen-On-Tv Wonder Hangers. These things really do double your closet space. They are pretty reasonable in price. Only $10 for a box of 8. Do yourself a favor and buy these.

2. Sterilite Storage Drawers

Easy way to add more storage to a room. I have one in my closet and a larger one in my room. Makes it where my dresser isn't quite so full.

3. Command Strip Hooks

These things are great. I have them hanging purses, belts, towels, and anything else I need to hang up.  Not to mention they now have picture and poster hanging command strips. Way better than nails and tacks.

4. Over-the-Door Shoe Holder

I have a lot of shoes. This over-the-door holder helps keep them all out of the way and I can see them all. Before I had them all in tubs but I kept forgetting what I had so this is way better.

5. Mainstays Shoe Rack

Stackable and Expandable. I think that basically says it all. It only takes up about 4 feet of space along one wall in my room. I can probably fit about 50 or more shoes on it. Its a great buy.


Beauty/Style

1. Roller Set Clips

Curl your hair and use these clips to clip up the curl. While it cools, do your make-up. Helps set your curls, and doesn't leave any crinks like bobby pins sometimes do. Not to mention these are easier to open with one hand than bobby pins are. I found mine at Wal-Mart for roughly the same price as bobby pins.

2. Dry Shampoo

Let's be honest. We don't always wash our hair. Sometimes we skip a day a two. Dry Shampoo is a great way to get rid of any second (or third) day greasiness and give it a fresh smell.

3. Headwrap Headband

Also great for second day hair. Wear with your hair down, up, or tucked. Adds a little something to your look. And they are pretty cheap and you can find them anywhere.

4. Boots

Ask anyone and they will tell you I am OBSESSED with boots. They can be worn casual or dressed up. And there are so many options on styles that they can seriously be worn with everything.

5. Tights

Tights are such a simple way to add a pop of color to an outfit. They can be quirky or sophisticated. And they have the added bonus of being able to be worn year round.

6. Scarves

Like tights, scarves can add color and personality to an outfit. They can be worn on your neck, in your hair, on a purse, as a belt, and any other way you can think of.
