Get Rid of Bedroom Clutter - Get Started on Your Dream Bedroom Today

!±8± Get Rid of Bedroom Clutter - Get Started on Your Dream Bedroom Today

We all do it... We zoom round the house, get it all tidy, but biff everything we can't find a home for into the bedroom, and quickly shut the door! Or, we are so busy that we wind up with heaps of bedroom clutter, because the last thing on our to-do list, is pick up our clothes, or sort them out. This has the effect of making our bedroom, a place where we should be able to truly relax, a place of clutter, unease and discomfort.

As with anything left alone, it will not go away by itself. Usually it has a habit of getting worse, till you get to the point where you will have to do something about it. Whether you feel compelled to finally get it sorted, or you make an active decision to get it organized properly, once you decide to get started, the worst of it is over.

Making a decision to get your bedroom organized, helps you get out from under the burden of your bedroom clutter. This helps you feel so much better about your inner sanctum, your private space. Your bedroom is meant to be your restful place and it is a room that can express the inner you... so if your room is messy and chaotic, is this saying something more about what is happening in your life?

Getting rid of your bedroom clutter is a good thing that you can do for yourself, so why don't you do yourself a favour and get started today?

Set aside enough time to tackle the job, and break it down into several smaller tasks to make it easier to get it done.

Make sure you have all the necessary equipment and containers for giving your room a good thorough clean, and for putting things in.

Begin by getting rid of all the rubbish, and cleaning the floor, sills, furniture and windows. Nothing brightens a room like having clear windows and a clutter free floor.

Strip down the bed, and air the mattress and bed blankets. If you have wooden furniture, give it a good polish so that looks great and smells wonderful.

If you are really wanting to sort your entire room then you will want to go through your wardrobe and footwear as well.

One of the things about a wardrobe, is that sometimes we see something we like in the store so we get it, but it does not always go with what we have, or we get something and it does not look like we thought it would once we get it home, so we stuff it in the back of the closet. Before you know it, you have a whole wardrobe bulging with clothes with some that rarely get worn. Then you have trouble finding the right outfit for a special occasion in your messy wardrobe, which is frustrating to say the least.

One thing I learnt just recently, is that any woman can dress smartly with a minimum of 11 well chosen pieces. You mix and match and accessorize them, to get an amazing number of looks, for all different kinds of occasions!

What are these items, you ask?

1 Well tailored jacket - solid neutral colour

1 Long line cardigan - solid neutral colour

2 Skirts - classic lines with style - one colour

1 Classic white blouse suitable for office or formal

2 Tailored trousers

1 Jeans - dress

2 Dresses - one patterned and one plain, classic style

1 Patterned top

Choose colours that match and complement each other, so that each item will go with any other item in your wardrobe.

One rule of thumb is to have 5 tops to 1 bottom, and that pretty much everything you have goes with everything else. The marvelous thing with a basic wardrobe is that you can then accessorize with different jewellery, belts, and shoes and make many, many different looks, from casual and comfortable, to elegant and formal.

Streamlining your wardrobe, means you will not ever be short on an appropriate outfit for any occasion, and you will also have a tidy well organized wardrobe, which is a delight to behold.

Your shoes can also be minimized to a smaller number...

- stylish, elegant boots

- formal court shoes suitable for office and outings but comfortable enough for walking

- casual footwear that can you take you anywhere

- walking shoes like sneakers/walkers/runners

- fancy shoes, all glitz and glamor

- for those really cold nights some sheepskin slippers, only for inside of course!

Oh, and some strappy, thong type sandals for lazy beach days.

That makes 7. This could be streamlined to 4, but to get a good number of combinations for different outfits, 7 would cover it.

Everything you do not wear, or will not suit you, needs to be weeded out of your wardrobe. So be ruthless, and be honest with yourself about whether it really fits, or looks good on you, and whether it will work with the rest of your clothes and the image you wish to project. If the clothes you discard are still good, give them to a charity, otherwise put them in the rag bin.

Once you have sorted through your bedroom clutter, you will have a room that you will be more than happy to be in, and it can again be a place where you can relax, and enjoy some peace and quiet.

You may even be so energized by how organized and attractive your room is now, that you are tempted to tackle the rest of your home!

And you can... just by tackling one room at a time. Before you know it, your whole house can be clutter free too...

Kenya Doesn't Have to Be Crowded

!±8± Kenya Doesn't Have to Be Crowded

Walking Kenya's wilderness areas is a wonderful way to appreciate the animals and landscape, an intimate, comprehensive, and intense experience. When you travel with small groups of people on foot the tracks, sounds, and scents are more vivid, it's easier to see the animals going about their daily business of survival, their relationships to each other and the ever-changing environment. Close sightings are harder won, but the rewards are far greater. Sometimes, when you are taking a rest, plains game such as wildebeest or warthogs or even predators like lion or hyena walk right past - until they catch the scent. Also it's much easier to hear the birdsong and the calls of animals.

The area in which the walks are conducted is huge and it is very unusual to come across any other people at all. The days are ruled by the nature of the area, with walking in the cooler mornings and late afternoons, and time for resting and observation in the heat of the middle of the day.

During the evenings, it's possible to hear the incredible sound of lions roaring, hyenas, and sometimes even the 'sawing wood' sound of a leopard passing through camp. Guests can also hear bushbabies, nocturnal birds and the local insect orchestra tuning up.

The walks pass through land communally managed by local families and, since the trackers have all grown up here, they are expert in finding game in a landscape they've been roaming on foot since childhood. The walks cross rolling plains, acacia valleys and quartzite hills, from 4,500ft above sea level to the top of the Bardamat Hills at 7000ft. The plains consist mainly of red oat grass and the hills are covered by commiphora trees and many different types of acacias.

There are seven different clans of Masai in East Africa, and this region is home to the Purko clan. They live alongside the last survivors of the Laikipiak Masai, also known as Ndorobo, who were scattered by tribal warfare at the beginning of last century and became hunter-gatherers and honey hunters. They still hunt with a bow and arrow in the same way as the Bushmen of South Africa.

Generally five to eight miles are covered in a day, with stops to see game as it appears. Ndorobo trackers spot the game and the guide will carry a heavy-calibre rifle, first-aid kit and radio. Group size is up to six, and children must be 12 or older.

Accommodation is in comfortable, walk-in insect-proof tents, custom-made for the walking safaris. They are bush-green, with large mesh windows on all sides and mesh roof panels to see the stars. All can be closed if rain looks likely or for privacy. Sleeping is in comfortable bedrolls with mattresses, cotton sheets, warm covers and hot water bottles when necessary, on a 7ft X 7ft sheepskin carpet. Washing is in traditional safari bucket showers with hot water, and there is a separate toilet tent. Fresh bread is cooked each day, along with a range of meat, vegetarian dishes and salads, and wines, spirits and beers are all brought along too.

The most popular safari lasts five nights, with three days walking where nights are spent staying in a private mobile tented camp in the Loita Plains (the camp is moved each night and set up prior to your arrival in the next location), and two days driving in the Masai Mara itself. However itineraries can be tailor-made, including longer walks of up to 2 weeks with vehicle support into different areas of the Masai Mara and Loita Hills and special-interest groups for flora, fauna, ornithology and culture.

Alex Hunter's season guide to the Masai Mara

June - Depending on the rains in March-May, the Mara is still green and the grass long. It is heading towards the coolest time of year, and the resident game senses there's something in the air.

July - The grasses are beginning to change colour now and the first of the wildebeest are starting to arrive from the Serengeti in the south.

August - The wildebeest are arriving thick and fast, and all the links in the food chain are getting their fill, so this makes it a very busy time in the Mara. With a million+ wildebeest, zebra and antelope gathering in the area, along with large prides of lions and their cubs, the interrelation of life is fascinating to watch.

September - The migration has very much arrived, and each animal has established its patch over the sweeping plains. The grass is much shorter now, and all the activities of predators and prey are on view. A time of plenty for everything; lions merely stick out a paw from where they lie to catch their dinner.

October - One of the best months to visit throughout the whole of Kenya; the days are fantastically clear and sunny. The migration is beginning to make its way back to the Serengeti, across the short grass plains to catch the annual rains further south.

November - The days begin to heat up significantly, causing dramatic storms. A quiet time for visitors; the wildebeest have all but gone and the grass has a chance to begin to re-grow.

December - Is hot again, and still has the dramatic thunderclouds building up creating incredible sunsets. The odd downpour often happens between Christmas and New Year, but the animals love it and rain always livens them up. Because of the range of altitude, from the Mau Escarpment down to Lake Victoria, it is unusual to go more then a month without rain in the Mara at most times of year.

January - Becoming drier, the start of a gradual build up towards the April rains, and days can be very warm at around 30C. The game viewing is excellent with the shyer animals more visible in the bush. The Topi antelope are beginning to strut their stuff which in large herds of high-stepping animals is a wonderful sight.

February - Is usually the hottest month in the Mara; rivers and streams flowing into the Mara have become trickles. Animals are conserving energy as the build towards the long rains begins. Huge anvil-shaped thunderclouds going up thousands of feet can be seen over the Loita Hills.

March - The wildlife tends to reside on the plains of short grass; almost certainly by the 15th March our long rains have started. Everything fills up and flows again sometimes within hours and it seems difficult to comprehend the changes in the Mara in such a short time. The storms are impressive displays of thunder and lightning: displays can last for hours at night as you watch a storm taking place many miles away in the Serengeti. Some days are beautiful, without a cloud in the sky and it feels as if you have the world (or at least the Mara) to yourselMarch, April, May - It is possible to do a safari during these months, but you have to allow for some adverse conditions and for plans to change accordingly. May is one of the most wonderful months to be in the Mara Reserve as many camps are closed, it's very peaceful, and you might never see another car.
