Alexandra Kostello at 30 years old is about as popular as homemakers come. Her YouTube channel is all about organizing your home, which is reinforced by her personal example, as she truly does practice what she preaches. Her videos are for fellow perfectionist homemakers, or those of you just looking for some solid ideas for keeping your place neat and orderly.
Here are her several basic principles:
- there is a special place for everything, similar stays together, write down where you put it
- closed drawers, to avoid dust accumulation
- always label each drawer, so know exactly what’s inside
- tags go on the outside, to save time later
- use your space as effectively as possible
When it comes to the kitchen, leave nothing out that you don’t have to.
