Years ago after my first daughter was born I got overwhelmed with cleaning and organizing. My mom told me “if you can’t clean a room, clean a closet and if you can’t clean a closet clean a drawer.” To this day I have followed her advice. I have the most organized and cleanest drawers in town. 😂 I love your ideas!

Everyone has so much stuff and everyone thinks they can solve thier stuff with more stuff like containers.... declutter before you organise....and remeber container means your containing what you store in thier so don't jam pack container if it doesn't fit you have to much of that item so get rid of it.

Like that idea but with the dust dirt and slobber slingers from the bloodhounds it is hard to keep any kind of shelf sitters clean. I do have most of my medical stuff in a notebook. I like that I can go to tab and find things and it's portable. Except mine is so thick now I need to expand to a 2nd notebook. I've tried keeping it in a basket but same concept with the dogs.

Also, the red lids from powdered Coffee mate, fit onto regular size Mason jars! I love using them!

The phone holder beside the light switch is a great idea. Ingenious!!!

I put ponytail holders on shower rings too and use dollar tree pop sockets for phones inside a cabinet door in bathroom to hang curtain rings from. Works great

The phone holder is a genius idea! When Delaney gets a little older, can't remember where her phone is with no one around to call it then she will appreciate that tip!😂

You don’t really need it. Just make a few assigned areas where you d always put your phone when you re there. It works exactly the same without adding unnecessary thingys .

I actually use the dish rack I got at DT, to store my frying pans and cutting boards with no problems. And I fold all of our tshirts into about a 3rd of that size as well as tanks or cami tops, so they sort of stand up in the drawers

An even easier way to keep ponytail holders together is to get an extra large carabineer and put them on that instead of a shower curtain ring, it's bigger and easier to open ❤

We use a ring holder ( I'm sure that's not what's it's called) for hair ties. My grandmother left it to us for my rings but the idea of people seeing my rings out in the open terrifies me. If they steal a hair tye I really don't care. Gives my bathroom a little nostalgia too

I use those and a tiny one for my travel bag.

The use of colored duct tape to identify moving box content is GENIUS. I like so many of your closet organization tips, but...your closet is about the same size as my entire bedroom. I am so jealous. My goal is to reduce possessions to increase the ability to organize the space that I have. Thanks for the ideas!

Thank you for helping me feel not so dingy - I am forever putting my phone dow in my closet and losing it! Definitely going to get remote containers!! One for my walk-in pantry, too!

Great tips, I am in the process of re-organizing my entire house. My husband of almost 47 years passed in September and I'm having to find where things were hid and bring things down to my reach. A lot of your organization tips are going to help me alot

Thank you all for such kindness. It would have been easier and better to have done this together,but , when finished I will know where things are and I'm keeping busy and getting exercise at the same time

Tip back at you....I have a small kitchen and little storage space. I have a wooden cabinet in a corner where it's convenient for my coffee maker, but too small for containers for pods, sugar, etc. I bought a wire bathroom shelf organizer that is meant to set on floor, but it works great for my coffee bar. I used removable hooks to fasten it against the wall so it doesn't tip over and holds my pods, teas, straws, sugar, etc all together and no clutter! Got it at either Ross or Home Goods.

Oh Liz thank you so much. I don’t know how I lived without these amazing organizational hacks. ✌️

Love them all. I am an organizing nut. I love doing, helping others and watching videos for inspiration!

Instead of the command stripes inside the cabinets for cleaning sprays you could use over the door towel racks

A hint about putting the expiration date on your canisters-put a chalk label on the bottom, easier to write and erase.

A few years ago, I had no choice but going to Dollar Tree and I was amazed what cool things they had in suuuuuuuch great prices! Since my budget is very very tight and I would say I am creative person I fell in love with these low-cost stores and I enjoy watching videos like yours for more inspiration to make the home cozy and super super budget friendly. Loved the earrings organizer hack!!!! :-)

The over-the-door to hang brooms, etc ... what an idea. I got up & immediately put that idea to use. Tx

Phone holder absolutely genius I need in every room! Thank God for Apple Watch to notify!

Putting your phone by the light genius! How about attaching the holder to the table or wall beside your bed? I'm definitely using it beside my bed bc I'm always laying my phone down on my bed then fall asleep and can't find it to hit snooze when my alarm is going off! Lol, seriously. Thanks for the idea!

You have some great tips! Of course not all would work for me but that does not mean it isn’t a very good tip! Each person can absolutely take a tremendous amount of these hacks and apply them to their everyday life!! Ty for sharing

I like those trays for spices too. I gather bottles that I use together: italian(garlic, parsley, oregano, basil); mexican(chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, paprika) etc.

I would have used clear or white zip ties. I love these ideas! Great video!

Organization! I just love watching your videos!! I'm an organization nut, and you always have such great ideas. Thank you for what you do!!! ❤

Phone organizer is great idea, also to use for reading glasses, always losing those

Organization is the word of the day 🎉 We just moved, I'm definitely going to be trying some of these ideas

I love your hack videos so much! I did a similar thing with my ponytail holders, but using a Dollar Tree book ring. Anything you have on hand, even a carabiner is perfect!

Amazing organization/hacks! When you were talking about the drawer with all the nails, I was thinking that it was actual nails, you hammer into wood, etc. not nails on your fingers lol

One great hack I've used for years... I have a small galley kitchen. Only 4 cabinets! My biggest cabinet is for pots pans. I need it for lids and oven stuff. Soo..I got a really nice shower rod. Cut to length if needed. Put it on your wall. Make sure u use anchors for rid. Get s hooks. Hang pis on wall. You can use small towel racks too! Multi level pot wall racks. Put wood shelf above them fir spices!

I love the remote/ phone holder, I'm gonna get a few packs as I leave my phone anywhere/every where and takes forever to find it. Thank you

I was sad those jars contained sweet formaldehyde for kids. That's why the aspartame in those sweet drink powders turns into in the brain: embalming fluid. Long-term use erodes holes in brain tissue. Very bad idea for children.

Organization makes me so happy, loved this!❤

I would love a long video like this but for small spaces… lol

Those little sticky remote holders would be perfect in the shower for razors or up on the side or inside a cabinet for His razor!

Organization is the word of the day. I love all the tips!🎉

Word of the day is organization. I think the phone holder in closet is awesome. I loose mine in closet to so this is great idea . I had to do the salt in mason jar as soon as I saw it.

Your paper towel hack. I used to buy the Lysol wipes. But after the pandemic hit, they were hard to fine. So I cut my paper towels in half pull the center out and put them in a container like a coffee can and poured my disinfectant over the paper towels, slowly, so the paper towels can soak up the liquid. I made my own disinfectant wipes. And now that’s all I ever use. They fit right under my sink.

I highly recommend that you don't store nail polish remover on its side. When it leaks it can cause very bad damage to the space it is in and other things around it.

Spilled nail polish remover in my bathroom and it immediately ate the vinyl floor. I got a MUCH nicer floor after that, but it looked & smelled hideous til we could peel it up, and then we had to deal with the terrible old floor we had covered in the first place!!

I buy Bounty “select-a-size” paper towels… they’re already 1/2 size- perfect for my needs.😊

Hi Liz!! Yu mentioned ponytail holders,, I slip mine on my hairspray can.. all accounted for!!

I love that I’m not the only person that puts my phone in “ridiculous “ places I honestly LOL when you said sometimes I put it here ( on the hanging clothes) which is just ridiculous 🤣

I use a plastic kitchen utensil bind to organize my daily makeup. I store it underneath my vanity on top of my bench. Push the bench under the vanity and close the door. Next day, pull out the bench and set organized bind on vanity, sit down on the bench, and apply makeup.

Great organization hacks & tips as always. Thank you! 😊

The remote holder for phone by light fixture is genius!!!!!

Love these ideas love dollar tree. I use shower hooks for tank tops and bras I hang it right in the closet either on the rack or from a hanger ❤

I use an IKEA pot lid rack to store my husband's many pie dishes vertically on the top shelf of our cabinets. They're too heavy to lift when they're nested in each other because his are glass ones. I had to adjust the shelf, but it's been working for us for six years. He only bakes pies two or three times a year, so I definitely don't want them using up our most valuable cabinet space. Our kitchen has only three drawers (!!!) and one is at the bottom of the oven. There's no room for a junk drawer. Instead, I have a mini command center in the form of a painted wooden letter rack that has compartments for pens, scissors, etc. I have file folders with each of our names on it for papers such as schedules, etc., and put mail in the front wide space. It sits on our kitchen table without taking much room. Why not the counter? Because like most people, we don't have much counter space. You have to make the best of what you have.

Thank you, Liz. Your videos are very helpful. I like the clear way you express these smart Organization solutions.❤

Yes ! That’s a Wonderful place to set your phone ! Love that !

2:51 for organizing and annual deep-cleaning i make a master list of rooms to be done then break each room down into areas within that room to keep me from being overwhelmed lol

Genius…..I LOVE your hacks. A lot of it is so painfully obvious and simple I wanna smh that I never thought of it! The spice organizing….ive bought so many things trying to organize in a way that will be easy and STAY organized. I never thought to keep my most often used jars together in a bin 🤦🏽‍♀️ Thank you!!

I've been doing the color coding for years. It really helps.

I love the phone organizer in the closet- I’m terrible about losing my phone - way to go!

The remote organizers are a great idea for the phone. I’m guilty of doing the same. The slim canvas hamper is great also. I live in a condo n storage is limited.

Love your videos. Thanks for being honest real and fun.

I think your remote holder gotfor the phone is absolutely brilliant! I do that same thing always set my phone down in the closet somewhere and I look for it everywhere else in my house 😂

Organization!! I love that remote control holder hack for the cellphone!! I do the same thing in several places in my home then I can't find my phone!! 😂😂

The ALIX is an amazing system. We have a taller one we added to the large but cavernous RV closet. Had to get IN the closet to build the frame, but it has been in there for 5+ years, the drawers NEVER come open, even tho our RV is older with no air ride. Easy to see everything due to white color & also easy to clean with it's smooth surface. We added a scratch n dent IKEA melamine slab as a shelf over it, giving us far more space, and a custom look, in a dark closet (even with a light in there!). . My MD has two with a counter top across them as a desk- perfect height! One of the best things we have purchased at IKEA--And it's a good thing we live nowhere near an IKEA as I am addicted!!

You and a few others have helped me as I continue to organize my home. Thank you!

I like that 'travel pack'. I don't go far but a neat idea.

The mason jar salt top hack!!! Amazing

Organizing is so valuable it not only makes life easier but it is a plus to self worth. These remote pockets are super!! If only my Mr. Would use them. He always looses his phone, glasses, wallet and keys. I have had the same system for 30+ years. He has used the system, on occasion. I cant change location because he would NEVER use it. Each house we have had, has the same kind of thing.. it has been the bain of my day. Right now. He has not had either pair of his eyeglasses.. who knows where they are.

I love organization tips! You even had ones I hadn’t thought of. Thank you!

All of them are great but the one I like the best is the jewelry organizer on the door

OMG! I thought that only happened to me losing my phone all over my home!😂😂😂 That is a fantastic idea, and I am going to order some for me too! Thanks so much for thinking of it and it’s so practical! Love your shows!❤❤❤

Liz, you are so lucky you can get down and sit or kneel on the floor. I have to ask my cleaning lady to get down to clean out the low parts of the cupboards.

Organization! Loved this video. Took away several ideas. Thnx!

Some great hacks thank you. I can't help but say that the tomatoes need to go in the fruit unit!

I find the handles take up to much room in my fridge. Organization. If you need to remove a container with a command strip use a blow dryer first. The command strip will let go easier and won’t snap or remove the paint. So true If you choose one small area to clean it’s not so overwhelming either.

Good organized tips for each area of my home

I have those phone holders all throughout my house!! They are so handy for so many different things!
