10 IKEA Products Under $10 To Get You Organized On A Budget
I know the big box organizing stores have ALL the things you need to get and stay organized, and they are truly gorgeous, but they do come with a larger price tag. If you want to get organized on a smaller budget IKEA has some great options and many of them are even sustainable. I selected 10 items under $10 to get you started. Just click on the title to shop them.
Add these beautiful felt baskets to open shelving to decrease clutter, or in the bathroom to coral your favorite beauty items or linens.
These high gloss boxes w/ lids come in three colors and look great while containing your belongings. We recently used these in a bathroom but they would work great in the pantry and office as well.
This stainless steel lid organizer is a great and inexpensive way to keep your pot lids from banging around in a drawer or cupboard, and makes them easy to grab while cooking.
These pretty jute bags can be hung from a bar or hook and could hold fruits, veggies, onions, and potatoes in the pantry or stray socks in the laundry room. I like that they offer texture and something a little different.
Magazine files can do SO many things besides hold magazine’s. You can use them in the bathroom for hairdryers and hot tools, turned out in the pantry to store onions, and they are perfect for storing plastic wraps and tinfoil on end, and a great way to hide your wireless router.
These great little clip on baskets work great in the pantry for loose items, or fruit and veggies, or for napkins and linens. They can also double in the office or closet to keep small items in check.
These glass canisters with bamboo lids look great in the pantry or on your counter to hold coffee, sugar, flour, and pasta, they come in several sizes.
These stackable boxes are almost identical to the one’s at The Container Store. I love them because you can store sunglasses, jewelry and so much more, perfect for those little items. I would likely use one box for rings, one for necklaces, one for bracelets and so on, then neatly stack them!
These dry food containers are great for storing cereal and pasta at a fraction of the cost. Dress them up with some snazzy labels and your pantry will be grateful, AND your mother-in-law will be impressed.
VARIERA Storage Box $4.50
Boxes in drawers, cupboards and shelves with like items is a great way to keep things organized and the backbone of every organizer. This practical, multi-use box helps you keep track of smaller things and quickly find what you need.
Product of the week:
Here is a line-up of a few new products I recently tried and one tried and true!
I recently got in the Tula Rose Glow & Get It Cooling & Brightening Eye Balm. I use it under my makeup in the morning and with my nightly regime, it is cooling and feels hydrating. I give this one 5⭐️’s.
The Tula 3 Step Balanced Skin kit is great, my skin feels clean and refreshed and I must say I LOVE the cleaning oil. For me, I think the Purifying cleanser might be a little more than I need and can leave me feeling a little dry. For that reason I give this set a 4⭐️.
Thrive Cosmetics was already on my favorite’s list with their Liquid Lash Extension mascara. I have had lash extensions and much prefer this option. Once you try it, you’ll know what I mean! So this obvi get’s a 5⭐️, but I recently tried the Instant Brow Fix Semi-Permanent Eyebrow Gel and I can’t tell you have many people have asked me if I was recently micro-bladed! For the win… this one is now in my daily arsenal, 5⭐️’s!
Recipe Of The Week:
Spicy Bloody Ceasar
We just had guests at the house two weeks in a row and Bloody Mary’s (or Caesar’s at our house) are a likely request. The difference between a Mary and a Caesar is as simple as vodka or tequila. My peeps like them HOT and the garnish is my favorite part. I love to make them pretty!

Styling Tip:
Styling your coffee table so it’s pretty and functional is easy peasy. I like to start with a basket to contain my items. A box is a great way to hide things like gaming controllers and remotes. Next, I like to add a candle and some greenery, and lastly some height with a fresh flowers, branches or a plant. BOOM, it’s done!
Wardrobe Styling Tip: How to ensure you look stylish in 2021.
Create A Solid Capsule Wardrobe
That means make sure you have reliable wardrobe staples. A great pair of jeans that fit you well, the iconic LBD, a classic blazer, some great basic t-shirts and button downs in neutral colors, and an effortless leather or denim jacket.
Balance Your Proportions
Balancing proportions is about styling your outfits to create an overall aesthetic harmony. You can achieve this by wearing clothes that are fitted to your body shape. When you want to have fun with over-sized items or unusual pieces keep the rest of the look fitted. For example, try pairing a tight crop top with wide-leg jeans, or a puff-shoulder top with straight-leg pants.
Find your Personal Style
If you are unsure of your style create a mood board on Pinterest of things you like and see what the outcome is. Play with color, texture and shapes to see what looks on your body. Add a belt to pull it together.
I am also happy to work with you to put together your capsule wardrobe and expand into creating your personal style. :)
