Yesterday I found the funniest yet profound and professional tutorial on organizing your closet (and much more), that I am pretty excited to share the news with you!

If you want to know the #1 Secret to Organizing your Closet, watch this video (don’t blame me if some parts remind you of the famous Muppet’s Show … Applause Applause Applause!)

Two professional organizers, Kim Eagles and Elaine Shannon, share their secrets on organizing your wardrobe and your bedroom in a brand new course “From Cluttered Nightmares to Sweet Dreams – Organizing the Bedroom“.

Delivered online, the course package contains an ebook, multiple checklists and an instructional video (very entertaining too). Early Birds get some bonuses as well!

These two ladies know how to motivate bedroom messies to become real life organizers, I can assure you. Both love their job and teach in a cheery manner that I’d like to see way more often online.

Kim and Elaine share their Six Step Organizing System with you, explaining every step in detail. Accompanied by the checklists, organizing your clothes becomes easier and easier as you go through the steps.

After watching the video, I immediately began to tidy up the bedroom. There’s still some work waiting for me, but I know the direction where to go. Actually, I am not THAT disorganized but I love the kick to get started.

If you tend to get disorganized at home, feel uncomfortable in your bedroom or don’t find your clothes in your wardrobe anymore, this course is for you. If you have teenage kids who need some friendly lessons in bedroom organizing, this course is for you! If you need help in deciding which unworn clothes to keep and which to give away, this course is definetely for you too!

So, what are you waiting for? Create the Bedroom of your Dreams, now!

Sure, you can get basic plastic storage bins that will fit under your bed. But what are your other choices? Let’s look at some, in order of height. The cardboard box above is only 5″ tall, and it’s inexpensive.

This under-bed storage box from Crate & Barrel is made from cotton, combined with polyester made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s 6.3″ tall.

Caraselle provides this under-bed storage box; it’s 17 cm (6.7″) tall.

And then there are the canvas boxes from PB Teen, in a range of sizes and colors (stereotyped as for girls and guys). The under-bed box is 7″ tall.

The wonderful John Trosko of OrganizingLA made me aware of these under-bed storage boxes – 7″ tall without the casters, 9″ tall with them.

Here’s the expensive one of the bunch: an under-bed leather storage trunk, 24 cm tall (9.45″), from The Holding Company. The same company has underbed boxes for much less money.

Lombok has two different under-bed storage baskets; both this one and the other one are 24.5 cm (9.65″)tall.

These open-top solid wood under-bed storage boxes can be customized; the word “toys” can be replaced with a child’s name (or, I imagine, anything else you wish, as space allows).

If you wonder why I didn’t mention Closet Assistant (this is quite popular online wardrobe organizer service): I found several links and reviews about it, but the website itself didn’t work. So I haven’t an idea if Closet Assistant is still active. A review by Kristen Nicole about Closet Assistant can be found on Mashable.com.

Do you think of buying an iPhone? Maybe you need one now, because out there are some sweet iPhone apps to organize your wardrobe, too. Take a look at Touchcloset and Pocket Closet. You will find some more iPhone apps for closet organization in the lifestyle section of the iPhone Apps section of the iTunes store.

To me it seems practicable to use a handheld app on a Palm or iPhone (or something similar), especially when you are able to take pictures with the same device and add it directly into the application.

What do you use? What did you try? Why did you drop it? Which application succeeded? The comment section is yours …

Similar in many ways to the technology oenophiles use to keep track of their wine, My Fashion Plate is a virtual style community and online wardrobe management tool. Users begin by creating free, personalized virtual closets with uploaded photos of their own clothes or pieces they find online. A design studio can be used to create outfits, and a travel section can help plan and pack the right clothes for travel. Budgeting tools, meanwhile, can help keep track of wardrobe costs. Registering with My Fashion Plate entitles users to a free custom Body & Style Analysis to find out which clothes best fit their body type, but they can also consult with other users via the site’s social networking tools. For professional advice, expert stylists are on hand 24/7 with personalized shopping, outfit creation and wardrobe analysis services, priced ranging from USD 0.46 to USD 14.99.

California-based My Fashion Plate isn’t the only wardrobe management tool out there—another we’ve spotted is Software de Arte’s Dress Assistant, available as a download from the Apple Online Store—but the addition of personal shopping and styling services seems to set it apart. One to partner with or emulate in your neck of the worldwide wardrobe…? Photographing and uploading a client’s wardrobe to My Fashion Plate could be an attractive add-on service for personal organizers, too. (Related: A social marketplace for clothes hounds.)

Great!

My part is to show you how to organize all those shirts, skirts, shoes and shiny rings in a way you will find them easily, keep them safe, clean and tidy. Where’s the fun on a Saturday afternoon, while preparing for going out with friends, when you find your clothes are crushed, or one of your most favourite earings is missing. Don’t worry, I am here to help!

The great aspect of an organized, decluttered home is that you save your time for the funny parts. It’s just a pleasure to look through your treasures and favorite pieces, exactly knowing where to find them. Clean, fresh and complete. The more you get decluttered at home, the more self-confidence will shine through you! Just imagine going out and showing your charismatic personality, because you set the trend – the Girl who got Organized!

A special topic I want to talk about today is an organized makeup case. Foundations, lipsticks, eyeshadows and mascaras are sensitive regarding bacteria. The better you keep them in place, the longer you can use them. No matter how expensive the cosmetics are, handle each piece with respect and get the most out of it.

When I was a little younger than now, I used to be a beauty junkie. How I loved to go cosmetic shopping… At the end I spent way more money than I needed, because I sometimes bought a lipstick in a color that I already owned. Sometimes I bought a color that didn’t match my skin. Actually, I made a lot of mistakes because I was disorganized. Meanwhile I stopped this behaviour and I will show you how I did it. Now I am able to purchase exactly the cosmetics I need, while keeping track of the good and the bad and the ugly, so to say.

Well, that’s it for now. Get prepared for more to come!
