Tips & Tricks - Storage Feature

Storage box from Spotlight with non-removable compartments.

So here's a smart little tip if you are sick to death of losing all your earring studs! 

If you are anything like me, then you probably have tons of different colours and sizes and if you don't have somewhere easy to store them then they end up on the floor, in the vacuum cleaner, or worse...

So here's the solution:

Storage Boxes from Mitre Ten, approx. $10 each.

These handy compartment storage boxes from Mitre Ten (Cheaper than Spotlight, but Spotlight has more variety) are awesome. They already have compartments inside them which you can arrange to fit whatever you like, and what's best is you can arrange your earrings by size and/or colour!

Compartment box from Spotlight. Around $15.

 The boxes with removable compartments are best, but for tiny earrings such as the ones above it can be better to have them just standard. I keep my earrings in three boxes. One large one for large studs and medium length earrings, and one small one for tiny studs, plus another larger one for long earrings. I keep all my formal jewelry in zip lock bags (Sealing them prevents tarnishing) in a box out of the light. 

Hope that inspires some organization in the chaotic world of the shopaholic!
