Getting Organised #2: DIY Medication Storage

Hey BumbleBeas!

One area I needed to get organised with was with my medication. I am on constant medication and I have found that I sometimes lose them underneath all my other stuff! When I was tidying out the drawer I kept all my medication in, I found 7 MONTHS WORTH OF MEDICATION! I thought I only had 2 months left! That just proves how disorganised I am.

So I realised I needed to store and look after my medication better. I was sat there for a long while wondering what I could do and what my medication could fit in. But then I realised: I already know my medication fits in the boxes it comes in!

So my first step was to collect all my medication that I didn't realise I had together and got rid of all the packaging of them apart from one. 

I then decided that considering I will be always be using it I may as well make the storage funky! I grabbed some left over wrapping paper and glued it around the box to make it look nicer.

Next, I wrote 'Medication' on a white square and stuck it on the front. Just to look nicer I grabbed a glittery nail varnish and painted it around the sign.

Finally I put all my medication in it and that was that!

Since doing this I have found it much easier to keep track of my medication and keep it in one place without unnecessary packaging. Furthermore the way I made it 'pretty' really just adds to its appearance rather than just having a boring looking storage holder with complicated medical terms on it.

So what do you think? Let me know! Please check out my first post and others coming up by the 'Getting Organised' tag.

Getting Organised Series: #1

Hello BumbleBeas!

A lot of eventful things have been happening in my life the past year and one thing that has been let down because of it is my bedroom. My bedroom has taken a backseat in my life and it has really become a disorganised mess. Everything is a state, nothing is tidy and I can never find a single thing. My room has become as disorganised as my life. I'm not even exaggerating: I haven't seen my entire bedroom floor in months and every drawer and corner of my room is just one big muddle.

So then it occurred to me that if there is one thing I can take control of in my life is the setting I am in. Having a bedroom in such a state that I am embarrassed about has made me feel down and I know if I can get on top of it and achieve organisation then that will transfer in to me feeling a bit happier about life.

After doing a lot of research on organisation and watching various videos/reading posts on different ways of organising and using materials you have to get tidy I have finally begun the long process of sorting out my room! When I can come home from a stressful day and feel at peace in my room is the day I will be happy.

So I thought I would take you all along on my journey. This will be my getting organised for a more organised life and an organised mind series which will include updates on my situation, ideas and DIY crafts. I have a few ideas so stay tuned!

And if your room as in much as a state as mine you might want to join me on battling it. You will feel better for it afterwards!
