Dollar Store Jewelry Organizing Hack #DIY (Frugal Friday on Wednesday)

Like many of you I love to get organized. I found a great way to organize much of my jewelry collection and I thought many of you might be interested. I found this tackle box at the Dollar store and it has workout out so well! I was able to store everything from earrings to necklaces and bracelets and rings, it even holds statement pieces! Some of the compartments have little dividers that you can move around to adjust the size of the compartment. It also has a lid that is attached so you can close it up and keep everything safe and dust-free inside. When organized in this tackle box everything stays tangle free, which is such a bonus! It's not too pretty to look at so I have it stored in my top dresser drawer. All I have to do is open the drawer and pop open the lid and I can see all of my choices. Well, most of them, as I do have some more jewelry that I keep in a jewelry box and some other necklaces on a tower on my dresser. I do LOVE my jewelry!

It's come in so handy. I can imaging using this tackle box for many other organization DIY's. You could organize your sewing supplies, makeup (single eye shadows would be great), as well as other craft supplies.

With the lid closed:

I have things further organized by colour and style as you can see below. 

ps. I found this in the tool section of my dollar store as it was meant for fishing tackle or storing screws and nails etc. It also came in various sizes. So go check out your dollar store! I'd love to hear if you try this out or if you have any frugal DIY's for getting organized.

Haul: Makeup, Beauty and Clothing- Marshalls, Elf, Wet n Wild, Jordana, Sinful Colors with Swatches!

I have a small haul that I wanted to share today. It's mostly inexpensive drugstore makeup, a few dollar store finds as well as a fashion item that I'm loving and one I'm crying over leaving behind. :(

I scored these floral pajama bottoms pictured above at Marshall's for only $12.99. They are so comfy and light and perfect for summer. They are 3/4 length, cotton blend and have front and back pockets. They are super-flattering on. The manufacturer tag is still on them. They are made by a company called Jane & Bleeker New York and retail for $38.00. 

Since I'm on the topic of Marshall's here are the Michael Kors shoes that I left behind! 

I came across these shoes in a size 7 (not my size). They were on clearance for $80 and since I'm on a budget right now I didn't go looking for my size and I'm regretting it. I swear I could get rid of all the high heels that I currently own if I just owned this one pair! The picture isn't even doing them justice. They have rich gold hardware as well as a gold zip up the back.  Maybe I will go back and try to find my size- I need these in my life!

Dollar store finds:

Just a few finds from the dollar store. I didn't add the food items since I didn't think they were too exciting. I thought this pack of price stickers would come in handy for our yearly garage sale. I found this great eye mask for only $1 and this Sassy + Chic foot file that I've heard is pretty good.

Makeup Finds: 

As you can probably see I couldn't control myself and I broke into everything already!

Clockwise: Wet n Wild Lipstick in Will You Be With Me/ Elf Smudge Pot in Cruisin Chic/ Jordana Twist & Shine Moisturizing Balm Stain in Gorgeous Peony/ Jordana Easy Liner for Lips in Rose Crush/ Elf  Eye Shadow Quad in Blushing Beauty/ Sinful Colors nail colour in Tempest (Bonus: These brands are cruelty-free)

I've been addicted to purple and lavender nails for at least a year now and I'm still loving them!

I hope you enjoyed my little haul and the swatches. Let me know if you'd like any reviews on these products or if you've tried them, what are your thoughts?
