Closet Management & Beyond...


How much time do you spend trying to pick out your outfit in the morning? I used to rip through my closet trying to find the perfect blouse or my favorite skirt. I would throw the rejected pieces on my bed, then rush out the door. Finding that one perfect piece can not only tie your look together, but can essentially sky rocket your confidence level.

However, not locating your favorite finishing touch can put you in a funk for the rest of the day. How do we avoid this closet chaos?

1.Play Dress Up:
Try on a few outfits and experiment with different accessories, shoes and handbags. A couple trendy pieces can update your look. This will also help you realize what you should keep and pitch in your wardrobe.

2.Plan ahead: After brainstorming a few outfits for the week, lay out your outfit the night before. You will be less likely to second guess yourself in the morning.

3.Clean as you go: If you have to rip through your closet while getting ready for work (or a date), try to put your "rejects" right back on the hanger. When you return home you will be glad you don't have a mound of clothes in the middle of your room.

4.Organization is Key: Being organized goes a long way. Arrange your hanging garments by color, and arrange your dresser drawers by category(short-sleeved tees, pajamas, tanktops, shorts, leggings, etc.) Grab a FlipFold to fold your jeans, workout tees, long and short sleeved shirts. You will be able to crisply fold all of your garments to a uniform size everytime.

Hope these tips save you a few moments in the morning!


Happy Folding!

How Are You Celebrating the Fourth of July?

The Fourth of July might be one of my favorite holidays-there is nothing better than spending the day with family and friends. I found a few sites that have tons of great ideas for patriotic decorations, recipes, crafts, cocktails and more!

Packing for a Weekend Getaway


It is hard to believe that the 4th of July is almost here. It feels like we were just ringing in the New Year! Time to break out the sparklers and apple pie!

Packing for a weekend getaway to the beach or the lake can be as simple as throwing a few bathing suits, your favorite cover ups, and a few t-shirts in a old duffle bag. However, over the years I have found that if I pack a little bit each day the task isn't as daunting, and I don't overpack.

I usually try to bring an oversized weekender tote so I can pack my clothes, sandals, toiletries, and accessories together. This prevents me from juggling multiple bags, which I have done too many times.

Visit our site for our favorite version of the perfect weekender tote** (and it's on sale-just scroll down to the middle of the page)!

**The weekender tote is available in pink, black & polka dot(green is currently sold out). However, we have the Brooke tote available in green and pink.

Enjoy!

The Perfect Summer Tote- Flip 'N View



Thank goodness summer is finally here! Time to grab a good magazine, spend time with the family and relax(hopefully)!

When I head out to the beach or to a summer BBQ with family & friends, I usually throw sunscreen,my hat, sunglasses,etc, in a big tote. But then it all seems to disappear into the big black hole at the bottom of my tote! I was so tired of digging for everything! I finally designed the Flip 'N View as a solution to this organizational problem we all dread. Flip 'N View will end your search for the perfect tote for travel or just a day around town!

Flip 'N View See Thru Organizational Tote
The Debbee Flip N' View See-Thru Organizational Tote combines function with fashion. The clear tote makes finding that ringing cell phone, keys or boarding pass a breeze. The clear plastic zip-top bag is designed for the 3-1-1 airline TSA check.

Flip 'N View is available in black, animal print or purple.


Remember,if you can see it, you will use it!

How Do You Organize Your Make Up?



Why does it seem like we can never have enough space, or the appropriate organizing system for our toiletries & make up?

If you are like me & my daughters, you probably have drawers and drawers of make up. Eye shadows, lipsticks, blush, powder, eyeliner, and all those brushes! I would dread getting ready in the morning because it would take me forever to find what I was looking for. And, if I had to pack for a trip- forget it!

Necessity is the mother of invention. So, I thought about what the perfect make up organizer would look like: how many pockets would it have, where would I want to put my brushes so they would be protected and easy to get to, and could I use it everyday and when I traveled?

I made my idea come to life with our Flip 'N Make Up.

The Flip 'N Make Up is a 2 piece organization system that will hold all your products. The interior of the main case features our exclusive honeycomb elastic system so your products will remain upright and secure. The top flap will hold your brushes and make up pencils.



The matching accessory case is large enough to to hold curling iron/flat iron,big brushes, as well as full size toiletry products. The smaller accessory case fits neatly in make-up case or can be used separately.


Visit our website to see all available colors and patterns.

Happy Organizing!

Where Do You Keep Your Jewels, Gems, & Baubles?



Where is your jewelry? Is it in a tangled bird's nest in an old jewelry box? Maybe in a dish on your bedside table or in a drawer somewhere?

Several years ago, my home was burglarized. Guess what they went straight for? My jewelry box-it practically had a neon sign above it,flashing "STEAL ME". Not only was most of my jewelry collection wiped out, all of my sentimental pieces(my sorority pin, necklaces my girls had made me) were gone for good as well. Needless to say, it was a heart wrenching experience.

I realized I had to change the way I organized (and hid) my jewelry. Enter the Flip 'N Dazzle, a photo album for your jewels. There are specially designed pockets for your earring, bracelets, pins & charms, and rings. In the center of the Dazzle, there is a necklace tray with hook & loop closures, so your necklaces will never tangle again! The Flip 'N Dazzle helps you protect, organize, store & hide your most precious possessions.

I have several in use at all times- one for my gold, one for silver, and one for costume baubles. Here's the best part-when the Flip 'N Dazzle is closed, it is the same dimension as a FlipFolded garment- so you can hide it in your closet amongst your sweaters, t-shirts, or even in your linen closet.

Also, crafters and beaders say that the Flip'N Dazzle helps them keep all their supplies organized in one place. What about traveling? No worries- the Dazzle comes with a travel roll, so you can throw in your favorite pieces when you are on the go.

No matter its use, the Flip 'N Dazzle has given me peace of mind that my most prized (and sentimental) pieces are safe & sound. Visit www.flipfold.com for available colors & patterns.

Happy Organizing!

Time for Summer Vacation....Let's Get Packing

Now that Memorial Day Weekend has come & gone, it is time to start focusing on Summer-finally! It is time to bring out the bathing suits, beach towels, and BBQ sets.

But what about packing? Have you thought about what to pack? What items will be versatile, take up as little space as necessary, or even decrease your ironing time when you get to your destination?

Outfits:
Try to pack your clothing by outfits. Packing specific outfits will help you decide what you are going to wear ahead of time, and decrease the chance of packing unnecessary extras. Choose fabrics that will not wrinkle easily-try to aim for a material that can stretch.

Shoes:
Try to select shoes that will work with almost every outfit. Consider your vacation destination, you might not need heels(gasp!), or maybe just 1 pair of sneakers.

Shopping:
If you're like me, I always find a few bargains to take home. But sometimes, I don't have enough space in my suitcase. I usually throw my Flip 'N Go(my favorite "everything" bag)in the bottom of my suitcase while packing (before my trip). This way, if I do have anything I would like to pack separately, I have additional tote bags that will do the trick- Check out the Flip 'N Go.

If you have any travel tips, send them our way- we would love to hear them!

Happy Travels & Happy Folding!

Tips to Organize Your Wardrobe

Good afternoon!

I just found this great post from one of my new favorite blogs, "Your Home, Only Better". It is a challenge to makeover your wardrobe by truly examining what you wear, when you wear it, & if you really need it. This is what I find to be the hardest part of any organizational task.Sometimes I feel a connection to a garment or knickknack, but only because I have been letting it take up valuable space in my closet. Just because I have had something forever, doesn't mean I should continue to let it occupy prime real estate.But the question we need to ask ourselves is, when was the last time we wore that (now ridiculous-looking) party dress from the 80s?

Check out the latest post from "Your Home, Only Better".

It might be just the jump start you need!

Organizing or Remodeling Your Closets?

It seems that no matter what point we are at in our lives, we never have enough closet or drawer space. Have you been thinking about reorganizing or even remodeling your closets? Custom closets can not only be extremely expensive, but also require some type of construction, which can be more intrusive than expected.

Before you make a hefty investment in changing the composition of your closet, try reorganizing your items.Donate items that you haven't worn in the last 6-12 months. Assess which articles of clothing need to be hung, folded, or put away in seasonal storage.

Try out FlipFold when folding your jeans and bulky sweaters. Try FlipFold Jr. for your underwear t-shirts, gym apparel, and nightgowns.Once everything is crisply folded, you will be surprised how you can utilize your closet space much more efficiently.

Let FlipFold redo your closet space! Visit our website FlipFold-The Ultimate Folding Tool.

Use FlipFold to Fold Your Linens

Have you ever tried folding linens with your FlipFold? You will be able to fold your sheets,towels and pillowcases to a crisp uniform size and save room in your linen closet. You might even want to leave your linen closet doors open when you have a house guest. Everything will look so neat and uniform they might think they are in a five star hotel!

Follow these steps to fold a sheet:
1.Pre-fold the sheet into quarters
2.Lay the rectangular folded sheet over the FlipFold
3. Make sure there is equal overlap on noth sides of the FlipFold. (This is will ensure you will get a crisp, even fold).
4. FlipFold as usual.

Even though pre-folding of larger linens, such as sheets and towels, is necessary using FlipFold will allow your linens to be folded to the same dimension. This will save space in your closet while helping you become more organized.

Here's a FlipTip:
Place your pillowcases on top of your pre-folded sheet before you FlipFold.This will allow you to store your sheet sets together, no more searching through your closet!

Here is Debbee's latest FlipFold show on HSN. She will demonstrate how to fold towels, shirts-(long sleeved, short sleeved, dress shirts) and more. Check out the before & after of the closet!

Graduation is Here! Grab a FlipFold for the Grads in Your Life!



Congratulations to all the graduates across the country!It is hard to believe it is that time of year again!

Each year, I make sure that all the Grads I know get a FlipFold- especially for those high school grads about to enter their first semester of college. For many high school grads, this may be the first time they will be responsible for doing their own laundry. What better tool to send them off with than a FlipFold?

As many of you probably remember, dorm rooms are tiny, and do not offer much closet or drawer space. However, when folding with a FlipFold, your grads will be able to save so much space when all of their clothes are crisply folded to a uniform size.

FlipFold comes in 9 colors, so grab a FlipFold in your grad's school colors!

Empower Your Children

As a mother of two, I am always trying to think of ways to empower my girls. Whether it was by helping out around the house, learning how to cook, or folding their own laundry, I wanted to make sure they knew the importance of responsibility. Many times while teaching my girls how to stand on their own two feet, I was met with a little push back. But now that they are older they see the value in what I was trying to teach them- and it really did begin with teaching them how to fold their own laundry! Who would have thought! I think they were some of the few co-eds who knew their way around the dorm laundry room.

Please let us know if you have any stories or experiences as to how you are empowering your kids or teaching them how to take responsibility into their own hands!

Happy Folding,

Start Your Spring Cleaning With The FlipFOLD

It's that time of year when we can start putting away our winter clothes and get ready for Spring! YAY! Let the FlipFOLD help you start off spring cleaning on the right foot.

Use the FlipFOLD to neatly fold your favorite sweaters and blankets before you store them for the spring and summer months. The FlipFOLD will save you tons of space in your closets and drawers, and when it is time to pull out your winter items they will be wrinkle free! You will now be able to stay organized no matter what season it is!


How to fold a sweater or long sleeve shirt:
1. Lay the shirt face down on the FlipFOLD and fold the bottom of the shirt to the edge of the board.
2. Fold the [long] sleeves into the perimeter of the board. If folding a hooded sweatshirt, fold the hood into the perimeter of the board also.
3. Then simply flip the 2 side panels one at a time, then the middle panel- just flip, flip, flip & fold! If your sweater is extra bulky you may want to make the last fold by hand.
4. In seconds, you now have a uniform, neatly folded sweater or long sleeve shirt!

How to fold a blanket:

1. Fold the blanket in half lengthwise and place on the FlipFOLD. If the blanket is over sized make sure that the overlap is the same on the top and bottom of the board.
2. Then simply flip the 2 side panels one at a time, then the middle panel.
3. In seconds, you now have a crisply folded blanket. You won't believe how much space you will save in your linen closet!


Happy Folding & Happy Spring Cleaning!

If it does...GOOD. I truely believe that positive thinking and good intentions are a necessary first step to making Good things happen.
Now, I will be the first one to admit that I can not remember a year that I actually acheived my entire list of resolutions :-( But I will pat myself on the back for chipping away at the big mountain of challenges that I recognize every New Year's Day.

I will jump into 2010 with my "Large basket of unfolded laundry"(obviously this is a metephor for my "to do" list, you know I have a FLIPFOLD ) ....and fold one piece at a time. I plan on getting to the bottom of the pile this year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR friends...2010 WILL BE A "FLIPPIN GOOD YEAR" !!!!!

What's your favorite COLOR

The famous question used to be "Does size make a difference???? I won't even venture an answer to that one :). But how about this one.."Does COLOR make adifference?" I can definately answer this one with a definate NO.....but color can make you feel good....

Think about it. Does your mood change for the better (or the worse) when you wear or surround yourself with different colors??? I know my mood is definately effected by colors. So, I took my crazy fixation with color and imposed it on my FLIPFOLDS. We started with basic Blue. (who doesn't like blue). Then we added green, yellow, pink red, purple, white, black, and now our newest additions orange and lavender.

We have all of these colors because they make me (and apparently so many of you) just feel soo good. Some people, superorganizers, like to color code by room or by user. Kristen gets Pink and Bradd gets green.

Me...I just love color!! Believe it or not, there is not a day that goes by that someone doesn't call our office and ask, "Does one color work better than others?" NO NO NO....Color makes no difference....it just makes ME feel good!

Organizing with PETER WALSH...

OK....I have died and gone to organizing Heaven!!!
When I went to HSN this August, I was lucky enough to do 3 shows with
the King of all organizing Mr. Peter Walsh!

I am sure you all recognize Peter from his many appearances on the OPRAH show. You also will remember him from Clean Sweep. The ability that this man has when it comes to "cutting the clutter" is amazing. He has an uncanny way of looking at an unorganized situation and creating a step by step path to create order.

He calls himself an Organizing Geek...but this is a Geek we should all aspire to be. He breaks down the problem step by step, uses the right tools, (he loves the FlipFOLD), and energizes you to tackle the task.

I can't help but wonder if that cute Aussie accent helps him...his organizing words are inspiring.

I will be back on HSN September 16th at 6am and 2pm...I promise I will try to channel THE KING!

Flipping' out over Graduation!

OK! they finally made it...Graduation is here and it is time to send them off to college. As parents, we have done our very best to prepare them in every way for this very important next step in life.

I will never forget the unbelievable effort necessary to prepare my daughters for life on their own in a college dorm room. I was determined that they would have all the necessities on hand so they would could concentrate on the main goal...getting good grades.

After the first month, I found it was the little things that would trip them up...getting lost on campus, running out of their monthly allowance with 2 weeks left in the month, loosing keys to name a few.

I must proudly report that both of my daughters always had clean, folded clothes...Yes, it was because they had their FLIPFOLDS! Actually, this handy FLIPFOLD turned out to be much more than a quicker, neater way to do their laundry. It was a social icebreaker in the laundry room! My girls have quite a few stories about friends they have made over a FlIPFOLD encounter.

Every single graduate I know has received a FLIPFOLD with 4 rolls of quarters as a graduation gift. Our FLIPFOLDS go to colleges all over the world!

A great way to Flip out over your graduate this June...They will think of you every laundry day!

The PERFECT gift for MOM

Forget the boring run of the mill flowers and candy... be a little more imaginative this year.
As I mom, I can't begin to tell you how much it means when that extra thought is put into a gift.
My favorite part of Mother's Day is the way it begins.  In my house, it always starts with a delicious brunch lovingly planned by my husband and daughters. 

This brunch is no small task... my husband Bradd shops and prepares for at least a week prior to Mothers Day morning. This is the only meal he prepares for the entire year, and he makes sure that every detail is perfectly executed...from flowers, to the ultimate in Culinary delights. The feast is a gastronomic event that Dear Bradd will remind me of for the remaining 364 days of the year!

This is the day I feel like a QUEEN...Debbee, the Queen Bee.

Happy Mothers Day to you all....And remember....It is GREAT TO BE QUEEN!!!!


p.s. If you can't be with Mom...send her one of our great accessories from www.FLIPFOLD.COM,  We will wrap, and send directly to her from our Bee-utiful website. I promise you, she will feel like a QUEEN!

Bee Happy,
Debbee

ORGANIZE your wardrobe 1 step at a time

OK...Spring is coming and it is time to reorganize your wardrobe... you
open the closet doors, and look at those shelves and drawers ....and you are totally overwhelmed. We all have been there...UGH.

Here is an organizing approach that will help you tackle the closet monster.

1. Do NOT try to tackle this job in one day. Separate your hanging clothes into 4 equal sections. Rehang, repair, colorize and reshuffle 1 section a day for 4 days.

2. Now, assign your shelves and drawers to the next 3 days...refold, re stack, and colorize. Now in 1 week, you have everything arranged in a somewhat of a orderly visible manner.

3. NOW that you can see everything, review your wardrobe by silhouette. Day 8, evaluate your tops, day 9 your pants, day 10 sweaters, day 11 dresses, day 12 jackets, day 13 and 14 miscellaneous. You should be able to filter out at least 25% of your wardrobe.

4. The CLOSET MONSTER can be tamed, a day at a time. In 2 weeks, by just spending about 15 minutes a day, you can actually find order in your wardrobe without having a total meltdown.

And, just think how proud that would make your mother!

Made in the USA...Keeping our jobs home!

I invented FLIPFOLD on my kitchen counter...just a mom trying to teach her kids to do their own laundry. Our first 200 FLIPFOLDS were made in our garage with an assembly line manned by friends and family. I knocked on countless doors selling my great American invention one at a time. I patented and trademarked my idea with my attorney happy for the protection our US courts provided. We sell our FLIPFOLDS on American TV, use them in our homes, in our retail stores, schools, everywhere there is folding that needs to be done. But, what we are most proud of is that we make EVERY single FLIPFOLD right here in the USA....made in a Florida factory and shipped all over the world! An American Dream has come true..right in our own backyard. FLIPFOLD...PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA.

It's "Flippin" cold outside!

"Baby its cold outside"...sooo why not stay inside where it is warm and toasty and do some organizing?

I usually begin organizing in my closets. Grab your FLIPFOLD and begin with the pile of "I'll think about these later clothes". I began with my football jerseys. My favorite college team, the FLORIDA GATORS, got top billing. I folded at least a dozen T-shirts with various graphics using the PRINT FOLD method. The PRINT FOLD is one of the many methods to fold a shirt with the FLIPFOLD. It displays the graphic on the front of the shirt when it is folded. This way, you can find a particular shirt without unfolding it. This is a method is widely used in retail stores. Its an easy 5 second fold...check out the instructions on my website www.flipfold.com.

You can make your closets and drawers a work of art with the FLIPFOLD. And, more importantly, easily find any piece of clothing you are looking for. Now, that might not stop the outside winter chill...but it will give you a warm aaaahhhh feeling inside.
Oh the power of Organization...priceless!!!

The FlipFold- A Great Graduation Gift


Hello FlipFolders!

This is Kristen, Debbee's oldest daughter.

It is hard to believe that almost 5 years ago I left my spacious closet and drawers to move into a college dorm. Unfortunately, over the years my closet space has not grown- but I have made it work with the FlipFold.

My Mom sent me off with the FlipFold, and I have been able to fit all my clothes neatly into my tiny drawers and closets in my dorm & apartment. It helped me stay organized (which can be the last thing on your "to do" list when in college).

This is the perfect gift for any graduate-it will be one of the best presents they get!

Happy Folding!

The FLIPFOLD diet

Is your closet out of shape..bulging with disorganized piles, messy heaps of clothing, and totally overstuffed?

If so, it is time for the FLIPFOLD DIET...a diet that will create an extreme makeover for your closet and drawers. If "organized, colorized, well displayed and a pleasure to look at", are not phrases that describe your closet....this is the diet for you!

All that you need for this diet is one thing....a FLIPFOLD!

You will see results immediatly if you follow these simple directions:

1. Empty your closet and drawers
2. Refold all of your clothes, towels, sheets, or anything else you have and separate them into piles by classification, (t-shirts w/ t-shirts, pants w/ pants etc)
3. Now put these neat,uniform, organized piles back on the shelves and in the drawers.

What is that you say...you have space left over?
you can find what you are looking for?
your clothes are less wrinkled?
you found your favorite t-shirt that has been lost?

Yessss.... the diet is a success...You have SLIMMED down your closet, created more space...and I see a smile.

I promise you, this is a diet that won't fail...Now if I could only invent something that would work this quickly on my body....I bet I could get on OPRAH!


Happy FOLDING,

Debbee
