TIPPY TUESDAYS #5

Happy Tuesday!

How do you store your belts? Do you put them in a drawer and never look at them or use them because they are so tangled and bent?

AND

 Where do you store your bracelets? Would you like to learn how to store them or hang them where you can see them and coordinate with your outfits?
If you need answers to all the above questions......you have come to the right place. Let me give you a little background story!


I was pretty frustrated myself at the thought of organizing my belts and bracelets - 2 things i need on day to day basis and i always found them tangled. but no more of that because I found a way to organize that and I hope this will help you 2!


So I am going to share with you an effortless and cheap way to store your belts and your precious bracelets! (with pictures) 


All you need is:

• 1 wired hanger (open the top of it where it kinds closes - you need to rewire the top - refer to pic below:

• 1 solid hanger which can hold some weight - could be wooden or sturdy plastic ones
• All your belts
• All your bracelets
• Shower Curtain Hooks - 3 or 4

Let me show you first the bracelet organization first:

and this is how I store my bracelets in my little jewellery section - they stay in one place, untangled, and I can see all of them at once when getting ready in the morning.

Now onto the belts!

Get yourself this kind of show curtain hooks (with a little opening) - I got mine - a pack of 5-6 for $1 from Dollar Store

 Now take your belts buckles and insert them through that opening showed above - I put in about 4 belts per hook.

Then grab your hanger and insert the hook through the hanger now like in the picture 

Repeat this until all your belts are hooked onto the hanger. Mine hangs like this at the front of my closet. I dont have to bend them anymore (bending them in the past ans shoved into the drawer damaged many of my belts).



So was this easy to learn? I hope the instructions made sense. It was so easy and using stuff lying around the house with minimal purchases, made me feel good about this one =]

I hope I saved you some minutes getting ready in the morning. How do you store your belts and bracelets, earrings, scarves? Please do share! Sharing is caring!

Till next time,

Book review: Drop 5 pounds - The small changes and big results diet by Heather K. Jones

I picked up this book in my local wal-mart a month ago. This book caught my eye - and it was love at first sight. I literally skimmed over the first 25 pages and couldnt put it down so I had to get it. I am a very visual person and if you are too, you will love the detailed plan they present. I am no expert in this matter but I try to read books, articles, online whenever about it. And if you have been reading about this topic, look no further. The contents of the book are:

1. Introduction (to the Diet Decoder quiz); 3-day meal plan
2. Chapter 1 - Eating In
3. Chapter 2 - Supermarket Savvy
4. Chapter 3 - On the Job
5. Chapter 4 - Eating out
6. Chapter 5 - Fitness first
7. Chapter 6 - Sweet Celebrations
8. Appendices - Drop 5 calculator Worksheets, Index to eating behaviors, eat more fiber index, Metric Equivalent charts

The big thing that I really liked were calore-friendly receipes and how to make little little changes in our diet to see huge changes in the way we feel and look. To give you an example, if one is craving fries (I know I heart them and are really hard to give up) but the book tells you to accept these cravings instead of ignoring them. The book shows that either you can have fast food fries at 400 calories OR can have Over-baked fries at 125 calories.

Well let me tell you over baked fries still tastes like fries and whoa you cut back 275 calories! It also teaches you how to read "Food Labels", how to take care of "Cravings 911", "100 calorie munchies" and "easy ways to burn 100 calories" and so much more. I wish I could put this book up for you guys (page by page) just so you could see what an amazing guide this is. In Canada, it costed me $25.00 (with tax) and in USA the price is 19.95 or on amazon or ebay I am sure you can find it much cheaper. Now enjoy some pictures that I have taken of this book.

                                                          Price Range if bought new

                                          The back cover of the book

                                         I like to follow the following guidelines

                                   Frozen veggies - i tried 2 of the meals..so easy to make and yummmy too

                                 Many great/easy receipes like this one

                                        this was my fave section - how to shop properly

                For those of us that work, the books sheds light on "Bad workplace Eating habits" to break

I hope you guys liked this book review, if you would more reviews like this one, please leave a comment (It will make my day).

Keep smiling, it doesnt cost anything =)
XOXO
