Hello - its the weekend!!! So, one of my new year's resolutions was to keep more tidy than I usually am so after Christmas I had a huge tidy up of my bedroom and I wanted to show you what I did...
First up was my make-up. For Christmas, one of my presents was a big make-up box so I could organise my all of my make-up into it instead of what I was doing before, which was stuffing as much of it as I could into a big drawer that also had bath/shower stuff in. It feels amazing (call me weird if you want!) to just be able to have all my make-up in one place, take the box out and open it to have all my make-up in front of me.
This is the drawer that I had all my make-up and bath/shower things stuffed into it - but not any more! From now on it is the bath/shower drawer and nothing else! To be honest, I don't know how on earth I managed to cram everything inside it because I can only just fit the things I have in there now.
I then organised my DVDs into one of two baskets that I got a while ago from Dunelm and sorted them into what films I watch the most (yes, I have the One Direction Where We Are concert DVD but I'm a directioner so expect no less!). This is the medium size basket as there were three different sizes that matched each other and I have the small size one as well.
I also tidied up my bookshelves because I have a lot of books (not a lot to explain really) and mainly the top shelf which has all of my music stuff like trying to fit all my CDs into a very limited space.
Then I moved onto my desk - which is a regular mess! I don't have enough room for all of my hair things where I keep all of my hairbands and stuff like that so I keep my sprays and brush/combs on the edge of my desk in a little 'basket thingy' that I got one Christmas. I like to think that it kind of matches my baskets from Dunelm but whatever.
The second basket holds the stationary I use all the time if I'm doing my homework, just writing notes or planning my next blog post (a lot of effort goes into this, you know!). It fits just into one of the small spaces in my desk which means I don't have to find space elsewhere and there is no space elsewhere so its just as well! And yes, I have a Disney pen - no, I've never been to Disneyland but every time someone I know goes there they get me something because I love Disney. <3
This is the main part of my desk, at the back of it there's meant to be a magnet board but I like covering it up with posters for decoration and then I put my actual magnets in the little space I've actually left for them! At the top of my desk, which you can only just see in the photo, I've strung origami lights up. They are exactly what you think they are, unless you are thinking the complete opposite of origami and lights put together, in which case you are completely wrong. I have a desk light and a lava lamp on my desk too (if you were wondering, that is the only Hello Kitty thing I own so don't judge me!).
Lastly, I tidied up my wardrobe. The dreaded wardrobe. The top half of it that day was surprisingly ok to tidy but I wanted to separate the clothes into little sections (being like the sad person I am). I always halve my wardrobe into school clothes and non-uniform clothes but I don't normally go any further than that so I had a section with uniform and P.E clothes then I separated my normal clothes into skirts, trousers, tops, dresses and jackets. I think I was feeling very organised that day! :)
Finally, I faced the bottom part of the wardrobe. The worst part. That is usually one of the messiest places in my bedroom and my whole room is (or was) quite messy. It helps that I had a whole set of 4 baskets that just fitted into the bottom of my wardrobe otherwise who knows how I'd keep it tidy! I put all my pyjamas in the large basket, my slipper socks in the medium one and in the two small ones I put my belts and I don't know what was in the other one. I also have a shoe box that I keep all my small sport stuff in like shin-pads that I've grown out of and a gum shield that needs re-moulding (if I ever use it, I haven't even used it before) because I've got braces.
You're probably going to be really shocked especially if you don't know me but this all took a week to tidy and I have quite a small bedroom if you hadn't already guessed from the photos. Also, I've just realised how many of those photos have got 1D stuff in. Well, that was all for this post and I will post soon. 'Til then, bye! xx **How big/small is your bedroom?
