What better time of year to detox your wardrobe than SPRING!

 
This month I will chat to you about the “hanging part“ of your wardrobe. Remove all your clothes which are on hangers and put them on your bed. Clean the hanging pole – with a eucalyptus or fragrant oil.
 
Ask yourself the question – "if I saw this hanging in my favourite store right now – would I buy it?" – if you can honestly answer "yes" then hang it back up.
 
If you can at this same time – replace all your hangers so they all match and are of great quality this is the perfect time to do so.
 
  1. Shirts need a great strong plastic preferably black hanger
  2. Jackets need a triangular wooden jacket hanger
  3. Skirts need a strong metal / wood combined hanger which doesn’t leave an indent mark on your pieces
  4. Pants need a metal trigger (space saving no slip) hanger
  5. Make sure all hangers are facing the same way
  6. Hang your clothes in categories – all shirts together – completely buttoned up to the collar, all skirts together, all pants together and jackets all facing the same way
 
The key to detoxing your wardrobe it to tackle it slowly and only one department at a time – otherwise you will end up with a huge mess and you will never finish it.
So if today you just do the hanging part – then watch how obsessed you become about finishing the whole project.
 
Join me on twitter to receive my daily tips and hints or I’d love you to respond here at pinklily times with your comments or questions. Remember to have fun while detoxing - the results will be amazing.

I need ideas for storing singlets.... Can anybody help?
Leni
Get nice hangers you like - like the pinklily ones - and detoxing your wardrobe will be actual fun in the end because you want your best clothes for those hangers!
Joan
What an absolute blessing the clear shoe boxes are! I cannot stress the amount of difference and room these have made to my wardrobe; in fact so much room I can continue to grow my shoe collection! Thanks Sascha!
Kay
Put all the clothes in the wardrobe with the hook facing toward you, when you have worn the clothes put back with the hook the right way. After 6- 12 months get rid of the things with the hook still the wrong way as you obviously haven't worn it!
Sascha
Kay I absolutely love your comment - thank you soooo much - I am starting this straight away - what a perfect way to sort out that 80 / 20 rule !
JulesB

I too bought some last week (8 in fact) ...got them for my friends, ...when I gave them, each said what fantastic idea - they had stories of burning themselves, one girl has a scar, another almost electrocuted herself. Well done Sascha!!!!
Alicia
just wondering - is it metal or plastic???
Michelle
Just wondering if it will fit the silver bullet into it
Sascha

Carol
Can you put the GHD in hot or do you still have to put it on the counter to let it cool down?
Sascha
Hi Carol - absolutely - the ghd can go back into the holder when it is hot !

pinklily times wants to share with you each month real life stories of some clever girls Sascha is helping with their businesses whether it be their marketing, PR or branding or they just want a direction to take their business in this month I chat with Simone Davies from No Slip Shoe Grip.


Hi Simone, thank you for joining me at pinklily times - lets have a lattè and chat about your product, firstly the top ten:

Coffee or tea? Coffee
Favourite season? Spring
Favourite colour? All neutral colours   
High heels or flats? Flats   
Hair Dry or GHD? GHD
Dog or cat? Dog
Are you Under or over 33? Under
Single or taken? Single
Favourite brand? Zimmerman
Favourite TV Show? Prison break (sigh) its over

Ok lets talk the talk...


What is the no slip shoe grip?
No Slip Shoe Grip is a self-adhesive grip which sticks to the outside sole of your shoe to prevent you from slipping over. There is no more need to scuff your shoes on the pavement anymore or pay expensive boot makers-just simply stick them on and away you go-runway confidence is immediately yours!

Why did you come up with this idea?
I was sick and tired of always slipping over in my shoes (new or used) and only having the option of scuffing them or paying nearly $50 at the boot maker to solve my problem. After numerous embarrassing slip ups in my shoes I thought there must be a better, more cost effective way to fix this-and so No Slip Shoe Grip was born.

Where can we buy it from?
You can buy my product online at www.noslipshoegrip.com.au or at various retail outlets around Australia. As of December NSSG will also be stocked at Equip. Oh and of course from Pinklily as well!!!

What was the hardest challenge you have had to face?
My hardest challenges are creating awareness for my brand and getting buyers to give you a go.

What happens next for your brand?
I would love to see my product in department and chain stores in Australia and overseas. I would also like to push the boundaries and enter alternative markets, such as pursuing the OH+S avenue, giving NSSG a more universal appeal.

What do you love most about creating/owning your own business?
I love that everyday presents a new challenge which I have to try and turn into an opportunity!! I love that I am forced to think outside the square and that everyday I learn something I didn’t know the day before!!

What have you learnt from me?
I have learnt so much from you I don’t even know where to begin!! From the moment I met you you have inspired me to remain enthusiastic and focused on my business plan. Your ideas for my introduction to the media, branding and image were dynamic and spot on. You have always given me rational advice on how to work within my budget and be cost effective at all times.

Any advice for some clever girls out there with a great idea?
Never give up!! Research your product and make sure you have a point of difference. Read lots of books on Marketing, Branding, PR- whatever you can get your hands on! With some determination your dream can become a reality too.
