Design Public’s Organization Blog Fest: Bookshelves
Posted in: UncategorizedThe website Design Public is hosting an Organization Blog Fest for a week, and they asked me to be a part of the advice-wielding group for the second year in a row.
Unclutterer’s topic this year is “Clear the Clutter from Your Bookshelves,” and the five tips come from Unclutter Your Life in One Week. The first two tips:
- Give away any books that you don’t plan on reading or referencing again, are in the public domain, and can be found in their entirety online.
- Keep the leather-bound copy of The Scarlet Letter that your grandmother gave you on her deathbed.
Check out the article to learn the other three tips!

Weight To Go Luggage Scale
Posted in: Uncategorized
Combining two useful travel accessories, a luggage tag with a hand-held digital scale, Weigh To Go is a no-brainer gadget for jetsetters. The compact device works by simply pushing the power button and lifting the suitcase off the floor for about five seconds. A steel carabiner lock keeps the scale in place and safely secures it to the luggage.
Developed by online community Quirky, the design is a sleeker improvement on other digital hand-helds, and reflects the ever expanding and complex needs of the modern traveler. Pre-order the battery-operated Weight To Go from the Quirky site for $33.

Graphic design? No sweat
Posted in: Uncategorized
Meet John White (above). As a busy graphic designer, nothing makes him happier than solving his clients’ problems. Unfortunately, John’s busy schedule of giving Powerpoint presentations and waving a briefcase (briefcase?) in the air at street corners to hail passing cabs can turn him from a stylish designer of graphics into a sweaty beast-man. Hey, it can happen to the best of us. But, sweat ye no longer, practioners of graphic design: John’s solved his own (and your) embarrassing sweat problem and has very kindly begun broadcasting the happy news all over TV – in the form of a new advert for Sure deodorant. Hooray!

The Find Loves Bucklette, Perfect For Carrying The Essentials!
Posted in: Uncategorized  | I have to admit, I do get tired of carrying a purse around all the time, and in recent years I’ve gotten into the whole “less is more” thing. Sometimes, especially if you’re out shopping, all you really need is a credit card and some lipstick, and a purse is just going to be one more bag you’ll have to lug around all day. I got one of these Bucklette belt buckles for Christmas, and basically I don’t go anywhere without it anymore. It looks stylish and compact, but it has little compartments inside to hold all your essentials. You can fit a couple of cards in there, a couple of keys, and a lipstick or small lip gloss. If you’re going out clubbing, or anywhere where having a purse would be a hassle, Bucklette is a fantastic way to keep track of your things and look good at the same time! Brought to you by our friends at The Find. |
