2.  Say Goodbye to Clutter--- Remember to put things back in their place to keep areas from looking disorganized and cluttered.  Purchase organizing bins and shelves for all the shoes, hats and electronics.  You can find good looking organizers these days that blend in with your home decor!

3.  Treat Yourself with Fragrance --- It's been proven that scent elevates mood, so stay bright and cheery with an air freshener like Febreze Air Effects, which eliminates bad odors and leaves a light, fresh scent. Or use a fragrant detergent like Tide Pure Essentials with baking soda available in white lilac scent - sure to brighten and freshen your clothes.www.pureessentials.com

4.  Burn Extra Calories --- The secret to slimming down is by burning calories throughout the day, especially when you're at home. How? Studies show that you can burn a considerable amount of calories while you clean. All that organizing and cleaning does a body good!

5.  Give Yourself a Makeover --- It doesn't have to cost you a thing.  Most cosmetic counters at all the department stores will do make-up, facials, and other skin treatments as an incentive to buy their products.

6.  Have the Family Help --- Make your life easier by teaching your children the importance of picking up after themselves. The rule "Put your things away or they will get thrown away" works very well, especially with toys they received during the holidays. Teach your children how to clean as soon as they are old enough to make a mess!

7.  Know Your Stress Reliever --- A cranky and stressed person is no fun to be around!  Find out what calms you down, removes stress and gives you the down time you need.  Whatever it is, reading, exercising, relaxing in a comfy chair, make a point to include it in your schedule for 20 minutes each day.  That 20 minutes will go a long way in calming your nerves.
