<v Speaker 2>So are you ready to step up your game? Let's go.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Hello guys, and welcome back to Stepping Up Today. I'm

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>coming to you with my literal number one, number one

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>most requested topic, and that is my kitchen organization hacks

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>that are all super budget friendly and they're from Ikia

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>and KMA. Now, this topic in itself is what got

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 1>your goal on the map in the first place. I

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.520
<v Speaker 1>feel back in god years and years ago, I was

0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>living in our first one bedroom apartment like unit with

0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Ryan and Harpat was like just born, and I was

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>like learning all these new hacks and tips and tricks.

0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's literally where stephing came from me showing how

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to utilize the very little space that we had. So

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>that's what we had to do. Now, the kitchen is

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the bane of our existence, but it is the heart

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of the home and it is one of the hardest

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 1>places to keep organized. It's like the storage that you

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>need the most. And who else is guilty of having

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>a million drink bottles or like twenty spatulas, But the

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>kitchens never seem to have enough, and even when you do,

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>it can really harbor junk and we don't want that.

0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>This episode is actually from my YouTube channel, and I

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's something that all of you guys needed to

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.760
<v Speaker 1>hear it. So, yes, I am cheating a little bit here,

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 1>but Girls Overcoming Influenzer a which has been brutal, keep

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.920

<v Speaker 1>junk draw, how to organize drink bottles under the sink,

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.680

<v Speaker 1>really really help me so I can continue this podcast.

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Now let's get into the episode. So I'm going to

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>start with the topplewar draw slush container draws. So I

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.560
<v Speaker 1>think we all know that tableware and containers are super

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>hard to store. They're really bulky, and you lose lids

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and it just gets really messy very quick. So what

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.839
<v Speaker 1>I like to do is stack the bottoms together, so

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>I have all the same types and shapes stacked together,

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 1>and then what I actually do is file the lids.

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:52.240
<v Speaker 2>So these are.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>File holders from kmart, so they're two file holders backed

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>onto each other. So obviously if you have more, you

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 1>can just keep going. Well, depending on the depth of

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>your draw or cupboard, so with these, I couldn't actually

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 1>file them because they're too high, so I just stack

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.839
<v Speaker 1>them on top of each other, so that worked out

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 1>really well. But yeah, this just makes it a lot

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.359
<v Speaker 1>easier and it keeps it nice and tidy, and it

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>literally stays like this, which is great. So yeah, grab

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>some cheap file holders from kmart or any other convenience

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.320
<v Speaker 1>store as well, and stack them all into each other.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Next up is the junk draw. And I don't care

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>what you say if, depending on how organized you are,

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.359
<v Speaker 1>everyone has a junk draw. This is just like you

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>know that part of the home where people throw pens, coins,

0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.840
<v Speaker 1>there's makeup in their chewing gum, charges, all that type

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of things. So this like becomes chaotic really fast, and

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>it tends to just become a whole big mess. So

0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>at least with this draw organizer I got for my Kia,

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.479
<v Speaker 1>it's like organized chaos, so it's not too bad and

0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you can see everything. So yeah, we've basically just kind

0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:00.640
<v Speaker 1>of in a way sectioned it off to like coins, pens, bombs,

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>and then there's this like makeup just pretty much anything,

0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>and there's charges, sunglasses and stuff like that. And then

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>over here we also have like a shopping list. Having

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>it like this just makes it a lot easier to handle.

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And then obviously this does get fuller, so every few

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 1>months I'll do a quick cull as well. So yeah,

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>grab any type of draw divider. At least you can

0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>see what's going on here, and it can still be

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 1>a junk draw, but it's just a little bit more organized.

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>So that's that one there all right.

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Next up is the party drawer. Well, this is what

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>I call the party drawer. You know how whenever there's

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>an event or a birthday, you usually have like plastic

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>cups or napkins or balloons and stuff kind of stashed

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.719
<v Speaker 1>away and you usually can't find them. So I like

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to try and have a little section for just party stuff.

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.799
<v Speaker 1>So I got these containers from Kmart and they actually

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.920
<v Speaker 1>have these removable sections. So I actually also use this

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>for our tetels, which I'll show later, our cleaning products,

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.560
<v Speaker 1>so like vacuum parts, all that type of thing. So

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>you can section it however you like done, like balloon

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>weights here, some candles, some more balloons down there, cutlery,

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>more candles, and then like napkins, straws, cups, and then

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>over here is like I've got a pencil case of

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>ones that we've already used. So yeah, I just find

0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>this a lot easier to keep you know, your party

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>draw nice and organized. But this is perfect for so

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.360
<v Speaker 1>many things kids cutlery. Could even kind of work as

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a junk draw divider as well, but I just feel

0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 1>like it might get a bit too messy. But yeah,

0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely love these. They are awesome. So yeah, those

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>are from kmart. I've popped the link for you guys below,

0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>all right. Next up, we have oven trays, so I

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>know these can be really tricky to deal with, so

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I love to use file dividers for these as well.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So I've got more of a heavy duty steel one

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 1>and I got that from Howard's stories. Well, but you

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>can literally just use file dividers and you just file

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>them in there like that. There's also other ones where

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.039
<v Speaker 1>you can file your pots and pans. So this is

0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:52.120
<v Speaker 1>just a really good way to kind of keep all

0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>your oven trays, muffin trays, all that just stacked nice

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>and neatly, because normally what you do is stack them

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>on top of each other and then you can't really

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>get to the ones at the bottom and it becomes

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>a big mess. So I love this way of doing it.

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Just keep everything nice and vertical. Over here, you can

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.280
<v Speaker 1>see what another file holder. And this is actually where

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I kept We did Hello Fresh for a while, like

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>about a year, maybe a year and a half, so

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I kept all the recipes I love from there. Inn

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>At this carry case from Kmart. If you've been followed

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>me for a while, you know I use this to

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 1>store the kids puzzles as well. Keeps all the pieces together.

0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So this is a stationary case from Kmart. These are

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 1>about three dollars and they're just so easy. So any

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>types of recipes that are like maybe from a magazine

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that, rip them out and you can

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 1>pop them in here. Makes it nice and neat. So

0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>that's that little part of the cupboard. Another way I

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like to keep recipes is this recipe book. So if

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>you're a follower, you wo had seen this a long

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>time ago. This is just a Kmart folder labeled it

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>with little label co that says recipes, and then inside

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I've actually got tabs of different types of food or meals.

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Who've got chicken, red meat, seafood, stir fries, pasta, soups

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>and stews, Mexicans, slow cooked side dishes and snacks so

0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>obviously these categories will change from family to family, but

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>these just work really well for us, and I always

0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>know to go to that section. Now, this is a

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>template I actually have on the blog. I'll give you

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>guys the link for this template below, but yeah, it's

0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a free downloaded from my blog. I just find it

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot easier. You can write out recipes that you've

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>made or that you've seen and you really love, and

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>then you just pop it into that section. So say,

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>if we want seafood, we just go to seafood really easy.

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So I love this kind of way of storing recipes

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.600
<v Speaker 1>as well. All right, Next is drink bottles. So you

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 1>probably have seen this maybe on a vlog before that.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I use ef came up wineholders and I literally just

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.560
<v Speaker 1>stack them and that's how I still drink bottles, and

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.520
<v Speaker 1>also like protein shakers and stuff like that. This just

0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.079
<v Speaker 1>keeps everything super organized and it doesn't get so yeah,

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.040
<v Speaker 1>you can also use a wine rack for this. It

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>does the same thing.

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Ike has a wine rack if you prefer that, and

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.200
<v Speaker 1>it also might work out a bit cheaper depending on

0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.600
<v Speaker 1>how many drink bottles you have to store. So yeah,

0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.920
<v Speaker 1>absolutely love this hack. It is life changing. Down here,

0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>we have the kids section to ignore the badly stained

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>bottles from the kids. Yeah, so this is for lunch boxes.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 1>These are the fridge baskets from Kmart all right. So

0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:32.679
<v Speaker 1>here we have tea towels, aprons, all that type of thing.

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:36.480
<v Speaker 1>So these are the same Kmart containers I use for

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>our party stuff again with the movable dividers. So we've

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>got tea towels over here, aprons, our stasher bags, which

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>we use a lot, that's why there's not much left

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 1>in there. Then we've got the sandwich bags we try

0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>not to use because we usually use their stasher bags

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 1>because they are usable. And then you've also got your

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>glad wrap over here, which works out really well. And

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 1>then I also put ba wepsair too sometimes. So yeah,

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I absolutely love these containers. These are the low and

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 1>wide ones, so you'll notice they are a little bit

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 1>bigger than the party ones were. So yeah, really good system.

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.199
<v Speaker 1>I do commrae folding for the tetails. Before we used

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>to just throw them in. Well I would throw them in.

0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Love how this looks. It just works out really well. Right.

0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 1>So this is like our coffee draw, so we keep

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>mugs in here. These are some of our coffee pods.

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.679
<v Speaker 1>So this is actually from I think Amazon or eBay.

0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I will try my best to find you guys the link.

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>So it's just a coffee pod container. I just really

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>liked how it looks. So they're more like these are

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.439
<v Speaker 1>like caramel ones, I think. So that's the dessert coffee

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we have. And then this is for like tea and

0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>sugar and stuff like that, which we don't have much

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>off to be honest, that's not for guests. So yeah,

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>that's another container which I'll find the link for you guys.

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I just really like how it keeps it really nice

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>and organized and it's pretty. And then all our back

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>up and espresso. We just stuck here with all the mugs.

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.440
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, really like how this works for us. It's

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>really simple and keeps it nice and easy. Then for

0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the coffee that we grab every day. I just got

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.520
<v Speaker 1>this an espresso container. But you could literally use any

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.680
<v Speaker 1>of those oval shaped containers. I'll put a picture below.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I know you can get them from Kmart. They're kind

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>of like the cereal jars, if you see what I mean.

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>But anything that's just like has a big opening and

0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>looks nice will work. So yeah, as you guys know,

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm obsessed with a little label coat and I just love

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.160
<v Speaker 1>this little setup. So I've got this a while back.

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And why I love it is because you know, when

0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 1>you're cooking on the stove, these are the things I

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>do grab the most, like salt, pepper, and chili, and

0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>just having them out and displayed just looks really nice

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and pretty, but it's also really practical. I wasn't sure

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>how much I would use these, but I have actually

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>refilled them a lot. So yeah, I got the little

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>labels on there as well, got the chili flakes, pepper,

0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>and salt. But obviously you can change this for whatever

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you use in your cooking every day. And yet it

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>comes with the little spoons as well, which is really sweet.

0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's the spoon there. Some people also these for

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.880
<v Speaker 1>their bath salts next to their bath, which would be

0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.720
<v Speaker 1>really nice as well. Moving on to under the sink,

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.079
<v Speaker 1>you guys would have probably seen this before if you've

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 1>been followed me for a while. So this is the

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.560
<v Speaker 1>one in our main kitchen. Basically just got you know,

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>some command books to pop any cleaning cloths or dishbrushes

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that. There was a great too if

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 1>you're renting, because they are removable. So these drawers were

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.839
<v Speaker 1>originally from Kmart. They are old, so you can't actually

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.920
<v Speaker 1>buy them anymore, but I know, I CA you have

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>some good ones which I can link below. Yeah, so

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>I keep like dish washing tablets, dish cloths co in

0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the middle there and it just has everything we need

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 1>in one section. So this is our butler's pantry under

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:40.199
<v Speaker 1>the sink. So this is just another way you can

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 1>organize if you don't want to go the drawway. So

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.280
<v Speaker 1>these are just some handle tubs from Kmart for wipes,

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>disinfectant wipes and stuff like that. This is a tray

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I actually using the fridge as well, and this is

0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>just for hand wash. And then we've got one for

0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 1>garbage bag. Now these are the flip lid containers front Kmart,

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and these are actually amazing. I use them for shopping bags.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I use them for snacks which I'll show you in

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 1>a minute. And down here we just keep you know,

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 1>washing detergent and brushes as well. So yeah, that's another

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.839
<v Speaker 1>way you can organize under your sink. So here's that

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>tub again. As I mentioned, we use it for snacks.

0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>So all these like prepackaged snacks like popcorn or chips.

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Just a really easy way to have it and it

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.679
<v Speaker 1>works really well. Some people also use this for kids

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 1>toys too, so you can use it for lego all right,

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So this is probably one of my favorite parts of

0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the pantry is my spices and oils. So I got

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>these little air tight containers a couple of years ago

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 1>from Little Label Co and then I just got I

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>think this is front seven, I'm pretty sure, and just

0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>put my spices in them. So these fit one full

0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>container of spices that you just get from wool worse

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.359
<v Speaker 1>or coals, which is perfect. So yeah, all my spices

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 1>go here. And then also I keep any like stock

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 1>or bigger spices like bay leaves in the bigger version

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.600
<v Speaker 1>which she has as well. Now we come to oils.

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>So these oil bottles are pack my product, and they

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>were like a dollar twenty each, which is amazing. And

0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 1>then I got the labels from the Little Label Coat again,

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and then this little shelf is from Kmart. So one

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons I did this is, as you guys know,

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>when you buy like olive oil and stuff like that,

0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the bottles are really big and chunky and they just

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>take up so much space. So what I like to

0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>do is I keep those bottles in another cupboard that

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>we don't use often, and then I just refeel as needed.

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>So this is great for a smaller pantry too. You

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>don't have to have a shelf like this, but just

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.920
<v Speaker 1>having like reducing the space that your oils and vinegars

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 1>take up by putting them into this is just great,

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.760
<v Speaker 1>so it keeps it nice and neat. Before I did this,

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I always felt like you couldn't find certain oils if

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 1>you needed it for cooking, and then you'd end up.

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Buying them again.

0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I really love this system here, and they

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>just look really cute and lucky. Last I love using

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.840
<v Speaker 1>a lazy Susan for storing all our sauces and then

0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 1>also our spreads. This just keeps it a lot easier

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 1>so you can actually reach what you need. This is

0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>perfect too for corner pantries. You can pop these in

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the corner and if you have a smaller pantry, because

0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, you have so much dead space at the

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>back that you can't reach, so at least when you're

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.640
<v Speaker 1>using a lazy Susan you can actually access everything. And

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I also do it with our spreads as well, so

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 1>this big one is from Little Label Co. I definitely

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>would recommend the big Wooden ones. I feel like they're

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot more sturdy, but yeah, you can also get

0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:24.880
<v Speaker 1>the KMA ones. But yeah, I absolutely love this. Anyways, guys,

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I know that had so many tips and tricks in there.

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I will also link the actual YouTube video for you

0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>guys below. If you want to see it visually, of

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>course you can do that. And next week we will

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>be back to your regular programming and my voice will

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.600
<v Speaker 1>be back so I can talk your little ease off. Anyways,

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I love you, guys, and I'll see you on Monday.

0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:42.520
