Working Wardrobes’ Post

Effective collaboration in action!

With most, if not all of your decorations up, now is the perfect time to go through the items you have left and conduct a purge. Here are 3 things you can do to maintain your inventory before the season is over. 🎄 Decide if you will use the ornament or theme again. If not, now is a great time to donate it so someone else can use it in their home. Don’t keep anything you will not use again. 🎄 If you find something has been damaged now is the good time to replace it. Several stores have applied deep discounts to holiday items. 🎄 Sort items you are keeping by theme, style, and color. Label your containers to reflect what is inside. If you need assistance getting organized, unpacking, or preparing for a move, book your FREE consultation today. #holiday #decorations #declutter #purge #donate #organizingpro #homeorganizer #houstonhomeorganizer #professionalorganizerhouston #hireaprofessionalorganizer #blackprofessionalorganizers #womenowned #NABPO #NAPO #NAPOHouston #Texas #harriscounty #montgomerycounty #galvestoncounty #iOrganize #YouMatter2Us #fyp #foryou https://lnkd.in/gJ2Bhic8

Closet Share is a community-focused program dedicated to collecting local clothing donations, washing and sorting them into tiers, and cataloging them on an online store for community members to access. We provide affordable clothing solutions through a tiered system, with Tier 1 offering free clothing for low-income families and organizations, and Tier 2 allowing the broader community to purchase items at low costs. Additionally, our Bags of Rags program repurposes unusable textiles to prevent them from ending up in landfills, contributing to environmental sustainability. We are excited to announce that we have recently acquired a warehouse to expand our operations. Unfortunately, we did not receive the government funding we applied for, and the warehouse requires some renovations to get it functioning for our program. We need various supplies, and if you have any items that you would be interested in donating to Closet Share, we would greatly appreciate it. We are also always looking for volunteers to help with the growth and building of Closet Share's warehouse.

I gave an identity to our local skatepark community and raised over £20,000+ for a safer streets campaign... For years, Gloucester skatepark had been neglected by the council, left to rot, with the safety concerns around the lack of good lighting in the area being a serious problem with recent stabbings and people feeling unsafe walking by at night. When we first approached the council with our idea to give the skatepark solar lighting, making it safe at night, we heard nothing... - Crickets for weeks. But I had an idea. What if we approached them as a community instead of a bunch of kids from the skatepark? A collective of individuals with the identity of an organisation that encapsulated our love for our skatepark. That community needed a brand identity. I made the logo, chose the typefaces, built the brand guides and we set ourselves up on social media, posting about the benefits of community and getting everyone in our local area on board. For weeks, we'd been a community. It wasn't until we communicated that visually with a strategic approach that the council (and wider Gloucester area) took us seriously. After implementing that brand identity into campaigns and getting people together, that project later raised £20,000 through skate jams and funding from local businesses. Crime rates dropped, the council saw the park in a new light and repainted/ refurbished the park. My friends back home tell me were on our way to getting a pump-track now too. All because of a brand identity communicating authority, community and professionalism in our approach. Invest in brand - change the world around you. #Brand #Identity #Logo #Community #Lighting #NonProfit #Charity #SaferStreets

One room that gets a  ton of use during the day is the bathroom. To help keep this space maintained, here are 3 habits you can implement into your evening routine. Remember, a new habit can take anywhere from 20-60 days to form, so don't beat yourself up if you have a misstep. Just try again. 🧺Pick up any items(clothing, towels, shoes) left on the bathroom floor. Add door hooks, hampers, or shoe shelves to create homes. 🧴Put away any products taken out during the day. Try to put them away after each use, but at a minimum, put everything away before bed. 🧽Wipe off your sink and counters. Try to limit the number of items that are kept on your counter to daily used items only. If you need assistance with organization, unpacking, or preparing for a move, book your FREE consultation today.  #bathroom #goodhabits #getorganized #declutter #purge #donate #organizingpro #homeorganizer #houstonhomeorganizer #professionalorganizerhouston #hireaprofessionalorganizer #blackprofessionalorganizers #womenowned #NABPO #NAPO #Texas #harriscounty #montgomerycounty #galvestoncounty #iOrganize #YouMatter2Us #fyp #foryou https://lnkd.in/gNMhHxTC

These are the photos I took at the Wenatchee Valley Senior Activity Center crab feed/fundraiser earlier this month. Most are from one of my Nikon Z8s, though there are few mixed in from my Samsung s23 Ultra smartphone. Sometimes I can get into small spaces with my s23 that I can't with a full-sized camera. The Nikon Z8s are pretty amazing in low light. The 24-120 f4 kit lens is excellent, though I do miss having the extra f stops on the low end. Even at high ISO settings, the photos hold together well. I can easily remove moderate high ISO graininess with Camera RAW filters. One of the great things about shooting with a full frame camera is I have the option to shoot in crop mode when I don't need the massive 47MP full frame images. While the end result is effectively pre-cropping photos, in camera, it's easier to compose shots since everything is zoomed in 50%. So the 24-120 feels like you're shooting with a 36-180 lens. I do the same thing when I'm shooting hockey photos. I don't need huge photos anyway, so I shoot with my 70-200 f2.8 lens in crop mode, which is like shooting with a 105-300, and I get 21MP files. That's plenty of range for shooting close to mid-range sports photos.
