| Get Organized |
A quick way to organize your closet is to make sure the hangers and clothes go in the same direction and use the same type of hanger. Then group together all the blouses, jackets, pants, skirts and dresses. The Container Store offers a variety of hangers that are reasonably priced. Look for hangers that are slim, sturdy and without a curve.

 Unplugging appliances and chargers when not in use saves energy and money on your electric bill. Yes, even chargers that are not charging use electricity when plugged in! |
| Helpful Hints for the Home |
Converter Box Needed after Feb. 17th 2009: If your TV is not connected to cable or satellite, you will need a converter box in order to use your TV. The government is providing two $40 coupons per household to offset costs. For more information go to www.dtv2009.gov.
Containers for your Stuff: Always sort and purge first, then putting like with like, measure the area where the box is to go before you buy anything.
