It is important to be able to effectively manage your wardrobe space in order for it to serve you optimally. Let us look at some of the tips that are helpful. 1. It is better to fold all knit items to prevent hanger bumps. This includes sweaters, T-shirts and some blouses. This just suggests that clothes that are knitted and have loose knit holes should not be kept in hangers because chances are the hangers might ruin them e.g the hanger gets stuck in one of the holes. Oh no!!!  2. Garments that have sequins, embellishments and appliqués are best protected in your wardrobe by putting them in a garment bag, that way it makes them dust free and helps prevent tangling or loosing of the appliqués and beading. 3. Occasional items such as evening gowns, wedding dress, maternity dress, coats should be kept in a different section of a compartmentalized wardrobe and can easily be hand-picked when needed.   4. Frequent items I.e items that fit, items that go with other items and th...

Filling this one up. I  took a walk in the woods today , and walks this time of the year - although this winter is very much warmer than normally - always makes me chilly and calls for a warm bath. (Will also add that here I am carefully balancing and cropping out husband's mini-motorcycle workshop that has appeared on the bathroom floor, with it's tires resting here for their second week already...) Meanwhile, filling this up too. The rest of the family is in the north skiing so might as well do a little bubbly by myself. In with this golden Lush bath-thingie! On with some opera in the background (with more volume than otherwise, as, alas, I am indeed the only one in the house for now) and then in in the bath with me! Not coming up until I have reached full-on raisin mode.

We are in the year 2020 and that means a third decade of keeping this blog has started.  It sounds like a lot, perhaps like more years than it actually is, but nevertheless that is the case. During these years the internet has changed, of course. Blogging has changed. And  I have changed - would be rather terrifying if I hadn't. My first very first blogpost was about my 26th birthday and I will be 40 next year. The past years I have not had the same time to blog - as someone might have noticed (but not the 3746 spambots that happily keep on commenting about escorts and digital marketing) - but in moments blogging also felt too trivial, with all that has been going on in the world and society. I feel those who still hard core blog are so branded it's mainly just about sponsorship and product placement and I get it - blogging takes time and time is, after a certain amount of it at least, money. I am busy running businesses; both the studio and the showbiz and some kind of brand ...
