I first saw this label maker on videos by Alexandra Gater and I fell in love with the aesthetic. You can buy this on Amazon, but it’s a lot more expensive for some reason. Office supply stores carry it, but Target has it for only $9.99! It comes with a roll of black tape in it, and it comes with an extra roll of black tape and a roll of red tape. I ordered it from Target to test it out and now I am labeling everything I own.
I bought some amber colored plastic refill bottles to put hand soap in and LOVE how it all looks together.
I have been obsessed with organization for as long as I can remember. I think it comes from growing up in a small, often chaotic house with 3 younger siblings where life was always messy. I follow a lot of organizing companies and YouTubers who do Clean with Me videos for inspiration because I really love the process of cleaning and organizing that much.
Some of my favorite people to follow for home organization/cleaning are BitsofBri, DoitonaDime, OrganizewithTracy, Love Meg, Beauty & The Beastons, She’s in her Apron, and Simply Allie.
I have been trying to appreciate the small things, and making small improvements to everyday activities. I will buy a hand soap that I LOVE instead of just whatever is on sale. I bought new underwear that fits great instead of just wearing stuff I hate. These seemingly small things, when put together over time, add up to a lot more joy in my everyday life.
Sure, a vacation is super nice and would cost the same as all the little things added up, but a vacation is a limited time where these affect every day. A label maker might seem like a small, frivolous purchase in the great scheme of things, but the comfort I get from having items labeled is a great improvement.
