Entryway Shelf: It Helps You Avoid Anxieties
May 18, 2013
Imagine this scenario: You have an important interview in 30 minutes and you are rushing out the door to get there on time. Your suit looks perfect, you have your resume and cover letters are ready to go, your hair is just right. Basically, you are good to go! But then as you reach into your pocket for your keys… Where are my keys! This is a situation in which an entryway shelf would really come in handy.
One of my biggest pet peeves is not being able to find something in the place it should be. Typically, this is the case with my wallet or my keys. Cell phones are not so bad because you can call them and locate them that way (unless you have it on silent).
Of course when you finally find what you are looking for, it turns out they were just sitting in the pockets of the pants you wore yesterday. Or they are sitting on the counter in the bathroom. Or for some ungodly reason you put them in the freezer.
An Entryway Shelf Would Have Avoided All of This
Well when you have an entryway shelf in your home, this sort of disaster can be easily avoided. Instead of spending hours a week searching for your everyday items, just place them on a shelf. If you put the shelf right next to your doorway, there is little chance you will forget to unload your pockets. Once you have done this for a few weeks it will become second nature. You will be amazed at how much time you save when you do not have to begin every morning tearing your house apart looking for car keys.
Wall mounted entry shelves are the perfect option for the entryway. Another great choice is to get a small entryway table that provides some eye-level storage. I think it is important the shelf be around eye or chest level, that way you see the organization area and instantly know that you need to empty your pockets.
With an entryway shelf in the home, you will never have to worry about being late for important events again. Now if you could only find that shirt you were looking for…
Shoe Travel Storage for Summer Vacation
May 13, 2013
Those preparing for the summer and the accompanying travel season will know that packing formal shoes can be quite a burden. In my opinion the most difficult items to pack for any trip are formal shoes. Whether you are going on a business trip or just a leisure trip, your wing tips always take up so much space with their awkward shape. Additionally, shoving them into a suitcase always seems to end up scuffing their leather exteriors. For your shoe travel storage needs, I would recommend shoe bags.
Obviously business trips require you to bring formal shoes. But even leisure trips can require your fancy shoes. Say you are going out to the theater or opera, or you would like to take your significant other out for a dinner at that five star restaurant. Formal shoes are required, and with that shoe bags are a must for shoe travel storage.
For those of you that are scratching your heads and wondering what on earth shoe bags are, and what they could possibly do to alleviate shoe travel storage – here is the answer.
Many formal shoes come with their own bag to store them in. They are provided so that the delicate materials used in the shoe do not become damaged upon transport. The soft material of the shoe bags provides a tiny barrier that keeps your shoes looking great for years.
Not all formal shoes have included shoe travel storage
However, a great deal of shoes manufacturers decided that it was unnecessary to include shoe bags. Whether or not a pair includes shoe bags really has no correlation with quality of the shoe. So if you have a very expensive pair of shoes that did not come with a shoe bag, it is recommended you purchase one as soon as possible.
While these bags will not fix the space-eating issue of shoe travel storage, they do help to maintain the appearance of your shoes. The bags are usually made out of a soft material that does not scuff or damage the leather or suede of your shoes. Also, these bags typically have a draw string that allows you to shut the bag tightly around your shoes.
The best shoe bag I have seen is the U-Zip Leather Shoe Bag. Made from top grain leather, this bag looks great and provides unmatched protection for your formal shoes.
So for your next trip, be sure to have the proper shoe travel storage in your arsenal and use these shoe bags. Your shoes will thank you for it!
