The Little Things

In the South, every woman knows two things:

1. Humidity will always win the battle with our hair.
2. No matter how many bobby pins you have, it will never be enough. Don't even bother buying more, they will just plan an uprising, and run away while you are sleeping. What other explanation is there for the fact you can never find them? Of course, when you are moving out you find them wedged in the crack of every drawer (kitchen included)!

When you are ready to regain both your sanity, and control over your bangs, I have a solution: use a jewelry organizer to hold all of your little hair treasures. 

Notice that each row is a different category.

• Row 1: ponytail holders
• Row 2: the ever elusive bobby pins (separated by color)
• Rows 3-5: Cute barrettes, fancy clips, etc.
• Rows 6-10: nail polish (in color order, obviously)

No longer are you forced to dig through a drawer to find 2 matching clips. Keeping things visible and easy to locate has allowed me to use the same set of bobby pins for over 2 years (unbelievable right?). And even better, the whole organizer hangs in the closet with the dresses. Easy Peasy.

As for that humidity business, I have yet to master that monster. Please let me know if you know any secrets on the matter.

Placefully yours,

Allison
