Marilyn Bohn | Creative Organizer

I went to get my hair cut by my darling hair stylist, Samantha. I told her my hair has been feeling so dry. She immediately asked questions about the products I am using on my hair, and suggested different reasons why it could be like this.

She then washed my hair twice instead of the usual once. (Isn’t that such a great feeling to have someone else wash your hair)? And she conditioned it. She is an expert on hair and it made me feel good that she took special care of me, listened to my concerns and gave suggestions on how to help my problem.

As a professional organizer of homes and offices I am an expert in the organizing field. When a client indicates a concern about an organizing problem I go into the ‘let’s solve this problem mode’ just as my expert hair dresser did for my hair.

The other day I was in a woman’s walk in closet but there were so many clothes and things on the floor it was a walk in, in name only. The first thing I did was to pick up everything off the floor and make a decision while it was in my hand of what to do with that article. Next we went through every piece of clothing hanging in the closet and donated, recycled or threw away unused items. The clothes left were hung in groups of likes. Blouses, pants, blazers, and skirts were hung next to others of the same. Next we took everything off the closet shelf and dispatched them to their rightful places. To be able to see hand bags it often helps to hang them.
