10 steps to an accessible, organized closet

10 steps to an accessible, organized closet
A haphazard pile of jeans and purses overwhelmed the hamper. Piles of shoes cluttered the closet floor. And hangers sagged from the weight of too many clothes. My side of the walk-in closet was no longer walkable; it was a place I dreaded visiting, despite my love for clothes. And to make matters worse, I share my closet with the neatest man in the whole world. I decided to clean up my act for the New Year and, I hope, for good. So I turned to Lorie Marrero, a certified organizing expert and author of "The Clutter Diet" (Reason Press, $17.95). - By Cloe Cabrera

Gift cards: get more for the money
According to news reports, the dollar value of gift cards purchased this year is expected to be down slightly, but the number of cards purchased is going to be higher. Sounds odd, but people still want to give gifts — this year it will just be gift cards with less money than in previous years. After all, it's the thought that counts. If you're like me, you relish receiving gift cards because there are great opportunities to stretch a dollar. If someone gives me a $20 gift card, I try to make it worth even more. Here are a few tips. - By Kevin Strawbridge

Stress less and remain sane during the holidays
If this is, as the song says, "the most wonderful time of the year," why do so many people look so miserable at the mall and the grocery store and the Christmas tree lot? Finding enough money for gifts, making time for shopping and events, and wanting to re-create childhood Christmases are among the most often cited stressors, research shows. And women, especially, say they have a tendency to deal with the strain by drinking and eating a little more, and sleeping a lot less. - By KIM FRANKE-FOLSTAD

If you’re planning some holiday decorating this weekend, odds are you’ll pick up a poinsettia to add to your décor. But have you ever wondered why the poinsettia takes over flower shops and garden centers this time of year? Aren’t there other red, pink and white flowers? Wonder no more. - By STAFF REPORTS Sat, Dec 12, 2:00 am \| 2 comments Hobbies & Leisure Yes, travelers, holiday jaunts are possible without going broke When factoring in driving to the airport, going through security, waiting to board, and possible flight delays, I suggest considering driving if the total drive time will be less than five hours. From an expense standpoint, the current cost for fuel and the savings on not getting a rental car can end up less than a plane ticket. - By KEVIN STRAWBRIDGE Fri, Dec 11, 5:00 am \| 1 comments Beauty & Style Avoid age spots - in your 20s Want to know how old someone is? Used to be, you could check out the skin on the back of his or her hands, face, neck, chest and arms. Years of unprotected sun exposure causes brown spots – unattractive brown blotches of varying shades and sizes – that betray a person's age. But dermatologists say now those spots are cropping up on younger and younger patients. - By CLOE CABRERA Thu, Dec 10, 4:25 pm \| 0 comments Parenting & Family That’s Not My Order!
