"Organize" is a familiar word heard on many of today's popular decorating shows. Every family has its struggles with some type of clutter whether it is stacks of papers or a cluttered and cramped bathroom. In fact, the National Association of Professional Organizers reports that 80% of what we keep we never use, we wear 20% of the clothes we own while the other 80% hangs there just in case, and 25% of adults say they pay bills late because they lost them.

If you have stacks of papers, frazzled mornings, or lost car keys, use the following ideas to help you organize your family and home.

Evenings/Mornings:

1. If you have rushed mornings, make lunches, set out clothes, and put everything you need for the next day in a designated area the night before. Have kids pack homework and books in their backpack so they will be ready for the next day.

2. Place your purse, briefcase and keys in a designated area every day so you always know where they are.

3. Decide the night before what is on the menu for breakfast the next morning. If the family is to have cereal, set out the cereal boxes, bowls, and spoons.

4. Make a "to do" list for the next day and organize it according to what task needs to be completed first.

5. Fill the gas tank the day before so you won't have to worry about getting gas if you are running late the next morning.

Bathrooms:

6. To organize countertop clutter, purchase a plastic tub with a handle on top. Place all of your accessories such as hair spray and lotion, in the tub and place under the counter. Take the tub out when you are ready to use it and then put it back under the counter when you are finished with it.

7. To organize your shower, buy shower caddies to place your soaps and shampoos in. There are numerous styles available in many discount and fine department stores.

8. To help keep your shower doors clean, buy a water squeegee (like you use on your windows) and place it in the shower. When you are done taking a shower just wipe down the doors with the squeegee and you'll have a clean and dry shower door. Many of the squeegees come with a whole in the handle, which is convenient for hanging it up in the shower with a suction cup.

9. Install a straight magnet in your medicine cabinet for tweezers, nail clippers, and scissors.

10. Store reading material in a decorative magazine rack. As you add new magazines, throw away the older ones to keep the magazine rack from overflowing.

11. Throw away items in your bathroom that are old or you don't use anymore, such as make-up, lotions, prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, old razors, sunscreen, and perfume.

12. If you are out of space in your bathroom cabinets for towels, roll them up and display them in a decorative basket next to the shower or bath tub.

13. Install hooks on the back of your bathroom door or wall space for towels and robes.

14. Use drawer organizers for makeup, jewelry, ponytail holders, and other loose items.

15. Place a shelving unit above the toilet for storing extra towels, washcloths, and other accessories.

16. Put a clock in each bathroom so everyone can be on time.

Closet:

17. Place baskets in your closet for laundry and dry cleaning.

18. Sort through your clothes and anything you don't wear anymore, bag and donate to a local charity. This includes clothes that are no longer in fashion, no longer fit, or clothes you haven't worn in a year. Also, get rid of those worn out and/or uncomfortable shoes you no longer wear.

19. Separate your clothes by season. If you have a tall closet with several rows of rods, place current seasons clothes on the lowest level and move out of season clothes on the tallest rods.

20. Categorize your clothes by purpose, such as work, casual, and formal.

21. Gather all unused wire hangers and take them to the dry cleaners to recycle.

22. Hang scarves on a hanger or scarf rack. Also, hang belts and ties on hangers or racks.

23. Use a shoe rack to keep shoes organized and throw out shoe boxes that clutter the floor.

24. Install hooks on the closet wall to hang up hats and purses.

25. Store clothes that you want to save in a vacuum sealed plastic bag. These bags pack down for storing under the bed or in a closet. Remember to save only the clothes that you think will be worn!

Kitchen:

26. Organize your cabinets into several categories such as plates, glasses, Tupperware, kid's plates and sippy cups. Place the plates on one shelf, the glasses on another shelf, and so on. This way when you empty the dishwasher, you or other family members will always know where everything goes.

27. Group your foods together in the pantry for easy access and to help you identify when inventory is getting low. For example, group together your canned goods, cereals, pasta, etc.

28. Place all packets (gravy, Jell-O, sauces) in a basket and place on shelf.

29. Purchase a spice rack that works best for your cabinet. Alphabetize your spices and place frequently used spices on the front of the rack and all others towards the back of the rack.

30. For all of those plastic containers and Tupperware items, dedicate one cabinet or drawer for those items and try to purchase stackable containers to maximize your space.

31. Save your countertop space for items you use daily. Only display cookbooks that you really use and if possible store your canister set in your pantry instead of on the counter.

32. If you have a collection of clipped recipes that are filling drawers and countertop space, purchase a three-ring binder in a color that matches your decor, a box of plastic sheet protectors (to protect your recipes), paper, and a set of dividers with tabs. Glue each recipe onto a piece of paper (use front and back of each piece of paper) and then place into a sheet protector. Categorize recipes (breakfast, desert, etc.), label the tabs, and place recipes in binder. Additional tip, if you purchase a binder that has pockets, store clipped recipes that you want to try in the pockets before adding them to your collection.

33. Do you have mounds of plastic bags from the grocery store? Place about 10 bags inside of 1 bag and throw the rest away. You can always get more the next time you go to the grocery store.

34. Get in a habit of cleaning out your refrigerator every time you bring home groceries. Dispose of any food that is no longer edible or your family is not going to eat.

Kid's Room:

35. In a boy's room, put a basketball hoop over a laundry basket for slam-dunking dirty clothes.

36. Place a two-compartment hamper in your kid's room so he or she can sort light clothes from dark clothes as they undress.

37. String a clothesline in your child's room and have your child clothespin his or her favorite artwork.

38. Hang a fish net from the ceiling to store stuffed animals, dolls, or action figures.

39. Add a bookshelf and help your child organize their books.

40. Buy the kids their own alarm clocks and teach them how to get up on time.

Misc.

41. Make sure everything in your house has a home. Teach all family members to mind their own messes. For example, if you take it out, put it back; if you open it, close it; if you throw it down, pick it up; if you make a mess, clean it up; and so on.

42. Put wastebaskets in every room and place several unused trash bags in the bottom of each one. This will eliminate countless trips to retrieve new trash bags and give all family members a place to throw away their trash.

43. Place a decorative basket on the coffee table to keep remote controls in.

44. Use a plastic caddy (instead of shelf space) to store cleaning supplies in and tote it from room to room.

45. Keep baskets or tubs for toys in every room for fast pickup and play time.

46. For kids' outdoor toys, purchase a weatherproof, bench-style storage box and store toys inside. Also, gather all outdoor balls and place into a large, mesh drawstring bag and store in garage.

47. Each night before bedtime, have all family members pick up clutter for 15 minutes. Make a game out of it and see who can pick up the most things in the shortest amount of time.

48. Create a family message center on the refrigerator or other prominent place and use it for shopping lists, reminders, calendars, and phone messages.

49. Make a master grocery list on your computer from a spreadsheet or Word document. Categorize the groceries into sections such as frozen, dairy, and so on. In each category, list the most frequent items that you buy. Organize the grocery list according to the way your favorite grocery store's isles are set up. Print copies and keep one copy handy for the current week. When you see you are low on a product or you're preparing your grocery list for the week, simply highlight whatever items you need. Keep the document current by adding new items and/or deleting items you no longer buy. Also, create a space on the document for Misc. items where your family members can write down what they need that is not on your list.

50. Create an in box on your desk for papers (bills, permission slips, etc.) that need your attention.

The goal of organizing isn't to make your home pristine but rather to make your life more calm and functional. Work with the above ideas and you will end up having less clutter, a simplified home, more quality time for yourself and your family, and improved productivity.

First of all, the nose right is a very good tool ONLY if you follow the instructions. I was very skeptical about this product naturally, but have to tell you it worked wonders for my nose. Something you should know is that it is not that comfortable at all, if you didn't have to wear it for only 15 minutes it would be a lot better.

Second of all, after two weeks you can start seeing a difference BUT not a major difference i don't know if its because peoples noses are a lot different, but the nose right takes more time than a week to see real results which is really disappointing. My honest review is that it is good not great. It will do the job, make your nose look smaller but its not as great as I thought it would be. I was kind of disappointed that you have to wear it everyday for a long time to mold your nose to the right shape, but hey what are you going to do a nose job costs so much more.

I also am baffled, don't understand why the nose right is like this big secret, if it works then shouldn't a lot of people know about this? Weird, but i guess that's what getting the plastic surgeons millions of dollars. Nose right is great, but an honest review i would have to say when you order it, make sure you follow instructions very carefully, its really extremely easy to use the nose right but you must follow there simple instructions because they are really good and the genius of the product in my opinion is the tool, its a crazy thing,kind of scary looking actually.

Oh yeah, and people are really skeptical of this product its like the newest thing that i have ever seen to totally defy everything a plastic surgeon stands for, but I wish there are more studies on a product like this, its amazing. Oh yeah, you have to know to a big draw back is that you look ridiculous while wearing it so you have to wear it at night lol you look like an alien maybe can double as a cool Halloween costume? Anyways nose right is awesome.

The Hoover Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright U5180910 is a powerful vacuum cleaner with cyclonic air movement technology. For under $100 dollars it is a terrific machine, especially when it really doesn't require bags or filters that need to be replaced in the future. A lifetime of washable filters (3) is included with the machine.

The Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright has a 15" Widepath Nozzle with a 32' cleaning reach. The power cord is 24' long and there is a 8' stretch hose. The on-board tool set includes two 14" extension wands, a crevice tool and a dusting brush. A powered pet hair cleaning tool is a nice addition that works really well for cleaning upholstery and stairs. The telescopic handle is adjustable to the height of the operator and the on and off switch is located conveniently right below the grip of the handle for easy access. A headlight is included on the base of the model so that visibility is enhanced in darker areas and tight corners.

Of all the Hoover vacuum cleaners this is really a good value when taking into consideration how versatile and well-designed it is and the fact that there is a 1-year warranty included. The floor path width is very generous at 15", which is great for larger rooms and hallways, and the 24'cord is an improvement over the standard 20' found on a lot of residential uprights. The wider path means fewer passes are required to cover a room and the extra cord length means less time plugging and unplugging and increases efficiency. The fact that this unit is bagless and includes a lifetime of washable filters means that there really aren't any more expenses other than vacuum cleaner belts. Other vacuum cleaners utilize two vacuum motors, but this model makes up for this by incorporating a larger single vacuum motor system. The belts on this machine are readily available and fairly inexpensive. The great thing is that they are also easy to change. Access to the bottom of the unit is nicely gained by utilizing a coin to pry open the coin slot type locks on the sides of the base of the machine. The brush roller agitator is also accessed in this way for times when the roller needs to be cleaned due to strings or hair becoming wrapped around the agitator.

There are a few drawbacks to the Hoover Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright vacuum. The main drawback is that this model does not feature a HEPA filter, which may be a problem for allergy sufferers, but there is a filter, nonetheless. Ways to improve the efficiency of the filter that is included would be to stay on top of washing it out on a regular basis so that it remains clean and unblocked. Another potential problem with this vacuum cleaner is that the dirt cup needs to be emptied rather frequently especially after cleaning high debris areas. These issues can be a hassle, but the flipside is saving money on both vacuum cleaner bags and filters. The power hand tool can become hot to the touch after prolonged use, but for residential use, it seems like a sturdy enough accessory, particularly for the price.

Overall, the Hoover Mach 3 Cyclonic Bagless Upright U5180910 is a great vacuum cleaner for the money. With plenty of power due to cyclonic air technology, an accessory kit with a handy power tool, bagless feature and user-friendly features, this model is a real value for the money, especially when you factor in the one year warranty. A handsome, well-built machine, this is yet another great vacuum from the Hoover vacuum cleaner line.

The best mini vacuum cleaners all have one thing in common - they work extremely well for their intended purpose. People have different ideas of what a mini vacuum cleaner is. Some picture it the size of a dust-buster, others define mini vacuum cleaners as much smaller. Below is a list of the features to look at when choosing one that works for your needs.

1) Size. What are you looking to clean? The size of the mini vacuum can be broken down into three categories. First, a car vacuum cleaner is the biggest of the minis. Second would be the traditional dust-buster type hand-held vacuum cleaner. Last, would be a USB vacuum cleaner meant to clean your computer and the areas of the workspace.

2) Power source. Some run on batteries, some run off electricity. Others, like the USB vacuum plug into your computer and run completely off of the power it provides. Depending on what type of power source you purchase, the amount of suction created by the vacuum will vary. A cordless unit will not be as powerful as a 4 amp electrical. Determine how much power you need, and how much of a priority convenience is for your intended usage, and you will be better able to choose.

3) Filter. The filtering systems of mini vacuum cleaners are not as good as the larger units. However, some minis contain excellent filters, (some even have HEPA filters). If removing allergens, dust mites and other elements from the air is important to you, choose a unit with a filter that can meet your needs.

The Dyson vacuum cleaners are the most popular and common brand of bagless vacuums found on the market today. The benefit of bagless vacuums is that they do not utilize the traditional vacuum bags, so there is no need to buy any. Instead, the dirt is collected in a dustbin which can simply be removed, dumped out and replaced quickly and easily.

The Dyson brand of vacuum cleaners are the biggest sellers among bagless models. Because of their popularity, more and more often their design is being used as a model that other manufacturers are copying. This means that there are now a number of choices on the market, if you are interested in getting a bagless vacuum.

This is good news because the Dyson vacuum cleaners are rather expensive, as compared to the other copy-cat models. However, this machine regularly receives very high ratings from owners and also receives very favorable reviews as well. Some people question if the Dyson vacuums are worth the higher price, but most who own the units respond with a resounding "Yes!"

The most recent Dyson model to be introduced to the market is the Dyson DC17 Animal. This model retails at around $550 and has already gotten many positive reviews from those who have had a chance to test it. Virtually all of the reviewers claim that this new model is more powerful and is better designed than it's predecessor, the Dyson model DC14, which retails at about the same price.

One of the nice extras on this newest model is that is comes with a handheld accessory that has a revolving brush built in. This tool is designed to quickly and easily remove pet hair from any upholstery. Owners are reporting that this new tool is a great timesaver. Another of the new features on the DC17, is an automatic function that adjusts for the pile-height of the carpet being cleaned.

There are some reviewers of this new model who say that while the machine is very good overall, it is not particularly any better or worse than previous models. This is not necessarily any kind of negative comment because the Dyson vacuums have a long history of receiving very high marks.

This simply means that the new model meets the previous high standards for the Dyson brand. One drawback for some is that this new model, like the other Dyson upright vacuums, weighs in at 21 pounds, which some owners feel is just too heavy.

The Dyson model DC17 is not actually a self-propelled model. However, a number of the reviewers made comments about how the very powerful brush-roller effectively pulls the unit across the floor, and the only thing the operator needed to do was to steer it. In testing against the Hoover Wind Tunnel and the Shark Infinity vacuums, the Dyson DC17 was reported to be much easier than the Shark or the Hoover vacuum to push and to maneuver around the room.

As with any vacuum, bagless or not, the dustbin must be cleaned out regularly. The Dyson models make it simple to know when it is time to clean the collection dustbin because they are clear, so the operator can see exactly when it is full. Many owners of Dyson vacuum cleaners say that it is the best vacuum cleaner that can be found on the market.
