I have seen the late-night infomercials but I never thought it was something that would make THIS big of a difference in my life. I mean seriously, it’s a bag.

space bags

But WOW, what a difference a bag can make. As I said, I never really thought about buying them. I just didn’t see what I would benefit from having them. Now, ohh my…now, I want a hundred of these babies! I would seriously use them in every room. I started in my closet:

messy closet

Here is the thing about my closet. I don’t have near enough room for all the bulky stuff. Sweaters, sweatshirts, big coats, etc. So, that is what I started with. I am still learning how the best way to pack things into the space bags is, but learning I am. That is the great thing about them. If it doesn’t fit like you had hoped, you can simply open it back up and start over.

Clean closet

See what a difference?!

I am so thrilled! I have lots more to do but at least I have it all started.

space saver tote

This is my favorite product! The Space Bag Higher Capacity Storage Tote. This baby will hold LOTS of stuff. I got 2 king size comforters, 4 hooded sweatshirts, 4 sweaters and 2 jackets in mine.

I also love the travel bags. They are going to make packing for trips so much easier. And I won’t have to check a bag…I can just use a space bag and throw it all in a carry-on! And, on the way home, you can just roll the bag to squeeze out all the air making it the perfect travel accessory.

Let’s be honest, cleaning out the closet isn’t exactly an idea that thrills most people, but with weather hot as heck all across the country, many people (like me) are trying to find things to do indoors, under the air conditioning. With this in mind, Space Bag is hosting a contest that encourages people to conquer their closets and receive a chance to get organized with some great prizes.

The Clean That Closet Challenge launched through Space Bag’s online community, Space Savers, encourages anyone with a messy closet in need of a little organization to enter this makeover challenge. The winnings are big, with the first 100 applicants winning Space Bag products and one grand-prize winner receiving a private consultation with a professional organizer, a $1,000 gift card to Bed, Bath & Beyond, and enough Space Bag products to organize their entire home!

Space Bag is dedicated to helping busy moms keep their homes organized and save space, and would love to see you enter the Clean That Closet Challenge.  To learn more about the challenge, visit www.spacesaverscommunity.com.

I was provided with a few Space Bags and some information via Space Bags to help facilitate this review. All opinions stated are those of my own and were in no way influenced by any outside source.

Awhile back I told you all about the Dove Men+Care line of products specifically for men and their skin. Bric is still using that line of products. It is all I ever buy for him now….we truly do like it that much. He likes the way it cleans, I like the way it makes his skin feel and I love the way it smells. Dove Men+Care is specially designed to help fight dryness with moisturizers integrated into each product and is also design to rinse clean so you don’t have all that left over soap residue on your skin. The Dual Sided Shower Tool is FABULOUS! Don’t tell, but I use it pretty often, that’s how I know how fabulous it is. The mesh side provides a great lather and the spongy side provides a deep clean.
