Did you know that not all bras and sports bras are created equal?! You shouldn’t wear the same sports bra to do yoga as you would while running or doing any type of high impact exercise. Thankful for the supportive ladies @thebragenie ! They helped me find a bra for stretching-yoga (like the one I am wearing) to one that is perfect for cycling and running 🏃🏽‍♀️❤️ Don’t miss out on my Bra Genie giveaway where one of y’all will win a sports bra from Bra Genie!

This year, I want to be more organized, more intentional, more engaged and to also close my green exercise band every day 😆 I already got a head start on organizing this house...guess moving plays a big factor in that 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 Do y’all have any goals this year?

Cheap and Easy Junk Drawer Organization

Ugh..that dreaded junk drawer. I believe everyone has at least one of these darn things. They are so good in that they help store and hide away all those things that are not needed out on the counter or tucked away where you can’t get to them easily. With the constant use of all things it contains or just quickly hidden away, it gets to be a real mess quick. Here is a cheap and easy way to get that junk drawer organization underway!

I promise I feel like I do this every year around this time. Get this house under control by reorganizing it. Kids’ rooms, closets, pet essentials (like how I did Marble’s 5 Tips for Organizing Your Cat’s Essentials), kitchen cabinets, and that junk drawer. My kids are in and out of that junk drawer so much. You know what? It is never the same once they get in it. Go figure!

Getting it done.

Ok, we all get the concept of organization. You basically put things in a specific, designated spot. Everything has a home and all looks so nice and clean. There are so many different organization tools available for purchasing. Who doesn’t want a good reason for going to Target? Well, I would rather spend my money on other things while at Target (hint: clothes, decor..). What if I share my secret of saving money while getting organized at the same time? I say that is a win-win!

Here are the steps into getting that junk drawer organized and how I save money while doing it!

Start grouping.

We should be pros at the whole grouping  ‘likes’ together by now, rather it from matching socks or playing multiple rounds of Matching with our little ones. The first step in organizing is pulling everything out and sorting through it. Pens and pencils together, rubber bands….you get the picture. You may even find lots of things that don’t even need to be there. Toss or put it where it needs to go.

Put those mismatched and missing tupperware containers to get use.

Everyone has to have at least one set of tupperware that is missing a lid or counter partner. Instead of throwing these away, put them to good use! You are getting the kitchen storage containers organized at the same time with this step. Of course you need to use sizes and shapes that will fit into your junk drawer. I had a few that were missing lids. They must be somewhere with all those lost socks.

After finding the right fit for your drawer, put all those things you had sorted earlier into a designated tupperware container. I know these tupperware containers may not be chic or designer quality, but they are useful and hidden away in a drawer. Why should it really matter? Plus, you are not having to spend money on things you truly don’t need since you have these.

Organized and feeling good.

Oh the feeling of when all things are right in their place. I love the feeling of feeling organized! It seriously lowers my anxiety level as well as putting an end to ‘Where the heck is..’ phrase. Well, sort of. I do I have three young kids who love to move things around.

If you don’t have any tupperware that you can use at your house, no worries! I have found very reasonable and cheap tupperware or small desk organization containers at Target. Grab those instead and get to organizing!

Happy Organizing!

    Oh the junk drawer! We all have them in our home that looks exactly like your before picture don’t we? I really like your simple tricks to get it cleaned up ASAP-need to put these to work on mine now for sure.

    Wow! That looks great! We’ve been doing Kon Mari on our home and we always use boxes/containers we already have. You can always get something prettier later.

    I started putting containers like this in my junk drawer and I feel amazing. It is so easy and makes you feel that much more organized.

      April 12, 2018 at 9:22 pm

      It really does, doesn’t it?! I love the feeling of being organized and knowing I am re-purposing something that I didn’t want to throw away.

      Thank you! I finally gave in and had to do it. I was going crazy just trying to look for a darn pen haha!

    I love that this uses tupperware containers that lost their lids! You could use food containers too! So genius and always good to reuse.

      Thank you so much! I figured I could find some purpose for all of them 🙂

    Ah, the junk drawer! I organize it, but the family always messes it up. Great tips for organizing, thank you!

    Our junk drawer is semi-organized, but it could still use some work. Thanks for this ideas!

      April 12, 2018 at 9:19 pm

      Thank you! It is great that your drawer is at least semi-organized!

    Such a simple but amazing tip! Time to start organising 💗

  12. Shannon says

    April 15, 2018 at 1:56 pm

    I’m literally the worst about junk drawers. My desk alone is an example of my struggle with the concept of organization. But you make it so simple! Also, target is the best incentive to do anything haha.

  13. Sunrita says

    April 15, 2018 at 2:15 pm

    Love th idea of reusing old Tupperware. I have a few already so must get going!

  14. Nickle says

    April 15, 2018 at 2:37 pm

    YES! This is great. I’ve been meaning to do more organizing in the house but I’m just too lazy and I keep getting overwhelmed with the number of things that needs fixing that I end up not doing anything at all. But I’m getting there. Haha. I’ll share mine too once I get around to doing it.

    I organized ours with a bunch of mini bins for the Target Dollar Spot, and now I try to go through it each week to eliminate the clutter! It was always the dreaded junk drawer prior to that!
