Best Under-Sink Bathroom Organizer?
Help — I'm a full-grown adult and I've never had my own bathroom sink before! I spent most of my life sharing a bathroom. Then, in the first apartment of my own (where I've lived the last 8+ years) there was no bathroom sink (look, don't judge, it was very affordable and I had a whole room dedicated to reading). Now, I…

Organizing Scarves and Purses
I have about 30 scarves, and I have tried many ways to store them. I don't like any of the ways. I bought one of those hangers that you can put scarves through little holes.

I have ADHD and find it much easier for me to see what is in my cabinets (clothes, pantry, toiletries) as opposed to putting them in drawers.

What's your favorite (and least favorite!) area to organize in your home?
I'll go first: I love folding sweatshirts (it's so niche but I feel super relaxed while doing it) and loathe reorganizing my spice cabinet. I wish I had a drawer, but all I have is a super tiny cabinet so I haven't quite found a way to organize it yet. (Open to suggestions!)
