Hey friends! How is everyone today? I'm doing great!! Sun is out on the Island, partly cloudy at times but sun is so warm, it feels great! So, I checked the mail a few days ago and I had 2 magazines in there. Who doesn't love magazines right? I love love love them! From fitness magazines, home decor, food etc. As I got home and went into my office I placed the 2 magazines on my "haven't gone through" shelf, (Yes, I have a shelf for that, because I try to stay away from clutter and like to be organized, some many say OCD : ) ). Anyways, I realized wow I have a lot of magazines I haven't gone through yet. Then I look over to my other shelf, which is my "gone through" shelf, and there is a ton as well. If you are like me and do not want to throw away that magazine because it has a great recipe, or a great 10-minute abs of steal workout and just know that one day when you want to cook that amazing dinner or have time to do that ab workout you can flip through and find it. Well, as I have learned in the past, keeping all those magazines does not make it easy to just flip through and find that one article you are looking for if you have a shelf full, or in many of non-OCD people a pile or scattered throughout your house. Either way, if you have lots of magazines here is my tip to you, that I found to be amazing! Clip Clip Clip!! When you find that perfect workout or recipe or color scheme to re-do a room in your house, CUT IT OUT!! I went and got a large cork board for just $10 at Wal-mart. I started clipping out quick and easy recipes, workouts, decor ideas and placed them on the cork board in a few different columns. I stapled bright fun ribbon from top to bottom to separate the columns (any art store has great sales on ribbon) I spent $5 on 3 different colors and patterns. So cheap! I then labeled each column with its appropriate category and started pinning up my clippings! Also, if you are like me and don't have tons of time to sit down and clip out all your favorites, clip before bed, or while watching your favorite DVRed show, ask a friend to help over a glass of wine, or ladies ask your significant other to clip out some of his favs so you can do this together (it is a great way to find out different and new things about one another and it doesn't matter if you been married for years or just started dating). So.....after a while, my cork board was so colorful, motivating and almost inspiring, it was like art! Once I am complete I am going to hang it up somewhere as an accent art piece! I am so excited. I even started clipping out new spring and summer trends and colors for fashion, just to give me an idea of what kinda of summer style I will be rocking this year! Be creative with it, it is all about YOU, so there is no right or wrong way! Have fun!
Until tomorrow....

I have a bad habit of doing this as well! I'm pretty sure you can add your new fav website on here too :P
