Winter is Just Around the Corner
A couple of weeks ago, it was 104 degrees here, setting a record for the hottest July 22 ever recorded in New York City. It has been in the 80’s or 90’s nearly every day since the beginning of July. It’s certainly one of the hottest summers I can recall.
Perfect time to start thinking about winter!
Charities That Will Pick Up Your Stuff
When I work with clients who want to shed their unwanted possessions, they are delighted at the idea of donating their stuff to charity. They are less enthusiastic, however, at the idea of having to shlep their stuff to make that happen.
That’s why I’m always delighted to learn of charities that will come to your home to pick up your donatable items. Here are two that I’ve recently learned about.
Gloves You Can Love
As a Professional Organizer and Productivity Expert, I am always on the lookout for products that have multiple functions or that make life easier. Thus I was particularly impressed with two types of gloves that I came across recently.
Do you have an iPhone or other electronic device with a touch screen? Frustrated at having to remove a glove to use it? Then you’ll be interested to know that several companies make gloves that can be left on when operating your touch screen device!
Cold Weather Transition
The New York City weather has been confusing lately – 50’s one day, 70’s the next – but have no doubt, it will be cold before you know it. Although we would like to continue going out in shirtsleeves, those days are numbered.
Get Your Winter Gear Ready
Now is the time to remind yourself what your winter outerwear looks like! Did you clean your winter coat at the end of the season? If not, take care of that now. Make any necessary repairs, such as reattaching buttons or fixing torn pockets.
Gather up all of your hats, gloves, and scarves. Make sure that every family member has at least one pair of matching gloves or mittens, and discard any singletons. Check the knits to make sure there are no moth holes – if so, repair or discard. Launder everything now before that first cold snap sneaks up on us.
