How it works

01. Initial Phone Consult

The first step we’ll take is to schedule a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation to discuss your organizing needs and ask for pictures of the space, if needed, to get a visual of the area to be organized. An on-site consultation may be recommended for more complex projects to get a more in-depth look at the space.

02. CHOOSE A DATE

After agreeing on the project scope, we’ll schedule a start date and provide you with an Organizing Agreement to review. Once you’re ready to proceed, submitting the Agreement along with a deposit at least 48 hours before the scheduled session will secure your appointment.

03. Reclaim your space

My goal is to create an organized system that is easy to maintain and sustainable over time, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a clutter-free space long after our project is complete. I strive to help you reach your objectives and live a more balanced, fulfilling life by equipping you with the techniques and tools necessary to remain organized.

Ms. Arlene says matching hangers, colour-coordinated clothes and matching storage boxes help to elevate my closet.
I purged and donated bags of โ€œstuffโ€ and feel liberated, organized and inspired, ready to tackle the hall closet next!

Thanks so much Arlene!
This lady had me depart with the unnecessary. โ€œNo more envelopes…Thatโ€™s why you have file folders.โ€ I just want to say that my new shredder has been named ArleneBona!

In my client's kitchen drawers, I transformed chaos into order by giving each drawer a clear purpose and saying goodbye to the expired, reducing redundancy, and relocating items. The only purchase? A brand-new @madesmart cutlery tray @canadiantire for $11.19 (got an eye for bargains)!๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’ซ

After tidying up the prep sink under the kitchen island and the chaos under the kitchen sink, I got these organizers in place. And guess what? They're holding up better than I expected! ๐Ÿคฉ

Here's a little pro tip for you: I added clear adhesive bumpers under these organizers to keep them steady, especially when using the drawer. Smooth, right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Stay tuned for my next post, where I'll show you exactly how it's done. ๐Ÿ‘€ Meanwhile, tell me, do you follow the "declutter first" rule, too? Let me know in the comments!

๐ŸŒฟ Let's talk bedroom privacy, shall we? Before ๐ŸŒฟ Let's talk bedroom privacy, shall we?

Before, my client had the drapes perpetually shut for her little cocoon. But here's the deal: her bedroom view was a direct peek into another apartment building. So, I came up with a tried and true genius solution โ€“ privacy film! Not only does it keep prying eyes out, but it still lets that glorious sunlight stream in. โ˜€๏ธ And you know what that means โ€“ time for some bedroom plant therapy she's been craving for ages. ๐Ÿชด

Now, I didn't want her to go full-on hermit mode, so I only installed the privacy film to the lower part of the window in her home office/craft/workout space. ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ That way, she can get creative and sweaty without feeling like she's on display. It was all about finding that perfect balance between privacy and that oh-so-craved natural light. 

The best thing is that this type of installation is renter-friendly and budget-conscious! ๐Ÿ’ฐ No need to invest in new windows when you can achieve that chic frosted look with privacy film. โœจ

Have you considered adding a little privacy film magic to your space?

๐Ÿฉท One of the highlights of the @blackgirlswhoor ๐Ÿฉท One of the highlights of the @blackgirlswhoorganize BGWOR3 retreat was an eye-opening talk on breast health, self-examination, and cancer awareness, from Nurse Keia Dykes. 

In our incredible swag bags, we were provided with a gem โ€“ the 'Daisy Wheel.' ๐ŸŒผ It's an interactive, safe, and super easy tool that guides you through the 8 steps for a proper breast self-exam:

1๏ธโƒฃ๐ŸŒธ BSE - Breast Self Exam. Think as your breast as a Daisy.
2๏ธโƒฃ๐ŸŒธ Look at your breasts in the mirror -- hands on hips -- tighten your chest. Anything weird? Discharge, puckering, dimpling?
3๏ธโƒฃ๐ŸŒธ Lying down, firmly press 3 fingers on your breast in a circular motion. Examine each petal.
4๏ธโƒฃ๐ŸŒธ Apply 3 different levels of pressure -- light, medium, firm -- with your finger pads to check your breast tissue.
5๏ธโƒฃ๐ŸŒธ Use each pressure level (L, M, F) on each "petal" before moving to the next.
6๏ธโƒฃ ๐ŸŒธ Start by your armpit and move down to just below your breast, using the same circular motion in an up & down pattern, covering your whole breast. (Repeat on other breast.)
7๏ธโƒฃ๐ŸŒธ Sitting or standing -- raise your arm slightly and use the same circular motions with your finger pads to examine your underarm. (Standing in the shower is a great place to do this!)
8๏ธโƒฃ๐ŸŒธ Did you see or feel something that worries you? Don't be embarrassed -- tell your mom, dad, sister, grandma, school nurse, reached, your BFF! Talk about it -- GET IN TOUCH!
