Today, because of Hurricane Sandy, my office is closed, along with many other offices and schools in Massachusetts. Because of the unexpected "WAH" or work at home day, I thought I should take the time to do a few things I've been meaning to do around the house.
Here are some ways you can pass the time while you wait out the storm.
Paint your nails
Find a great fall color and do that manicure you've been meaning to sit down and do. Don't forget base and top coat!
Organize your tangled jewelry
Invest in an earring/necklace tree and a jewelry organizer so you can see and find everything without tangling it.
Put away summer clothes
Time to say goodbye to sundresses, tank tops and shorts. Find some good bins and categorize by type of clothing. Stackable bins are good for storage in closets or under your bed.
Watch a movie, read a book or start a TV series
I highly recommend Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, it's the ultimate page turner and mind game.
Stockpile clothes for consignment
Go through your clothes, accessories and shoes and anything you haven't worn in over a year should go into the pile. At most places you can make between 30 and 50% on your items.
Second Time Around pays quarterly and places like
Buffalo Exchange will pay you on the spot.
Stay safe during the storm!
