Gioia

When I finally gained control of my spaces through organizing, I felt empowered. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was able to:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ Love the clothes I kept in my closet⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ No longer feel attachment to physical items ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ Locate items FAST which saved me time⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ Stop feeling overwhelmed by a stack of paper⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ Eliminate duplicates and stop overbuying ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Being able to breathe in your home is crucial. It’s your safe haven from the craziness of the world! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you stuck in a rut in your home? What’s one thing you’d love to feel more empowered to do?

Recently I have been into journaling with ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To be honest, I had put off this self care ritual for so long because it felt.. well, kind of stupid honestly. It conjured up memories of my diary writing days in grade school (which are so cringe I could have an entire Tik Tok series dedicated to reading them and roasting myself 🤣)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But in all seriousness, this practice of writing in the morning and evening with the prompts they provide is so soothing. It’s nice to start your day with possibility and end it with reflection and gratitude. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book would make an awesome gift for anyone on your list. You can find the link to purchase in my bio 📔

It’s officially scarf season🧣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you a fan of chilly weather or do you prefer the heat? Personally, I love fall/winter clothes but still prefer summer weather.

Some Fridays just seem more “Friday” than others. The kind where you anticipate the excitement of the weekend and sort of “check out” at work. Today feels like one of those days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was a tough week mentally but yesterday I received some great news regarding my health. I feel grateful. Today I am choosing to be present in the little moments and connections I make with others. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s something you’re doing today or this weekend? Share them with me in the comments!

As you begin to pull out the holiday decorations and prepare for the joys of the season, can you confidently locate what you need to grab in your garage/storage area? Or are you left thinking “I swear we had another wreath in here somewhere?” 🤔
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your garage is sending you into a frenzy, don’t fret. Give me a ring and let’s make sure your days can be merry, bright, and stress-free. 📞 ✨

Oftentimes I will compare organizing (or rather, maintaining your organization) as a lifestyle change. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like eating right, working out, or implementing any new kind of behavior, the same goes for organizing. I can come in and make the space Pinterest-worthy but if you’re not prepared to make a lifestyle change, it will never stay that way. I know, it sucks!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want to let you all know something… organizing did NOT come naturally to me. I had to change so many behaviors and habits. It’s not always perfect in my home, but I have an arsenal of mental tools to kick it back into gear relatively quickly when things get out of hand.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does this sound like you? Are you feeling overwhelm and want a change? Are you curious about where to begin? DM me to book your complimentary consultation and let’s make some magic happen. ✨

Did you know that file folding is 99.9% cuter when its done for baby items? Please enjoy these darling little fitted crib sheets today. 🤍

During my hiatus I missed a few (a lot) of signs and how they stay organized. I owe you a tribute post to the signs that were skipped!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Without further ado… here are all the lovely signs that were missed during their respective months:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Ta**us, ruled by Venus loves the finer things in life. This can be tricky because they are also very practical and down to earth. Incorporating living plants into their home can motivate them to keep an organized and functioning space.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Gemini, ruled by Mercury loves duality. When it comes to organizing, they love items that have a dual purpose! A storage bin that also acts as a bench, bring it on! Gemini's are an air sign, so don't be surprised if they get sentimental about items to let go of.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Cancer, ruled by the Moon loves to caretake. They always want to make sure everyone else feels comfortable and taken care of. Because of this, the kitchen would be a great place to whip into shape to ensure they have a place to entertain and nurture through food. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Leo, ruled by the Sun loves to be seen! Their space needs to be highly reflective of their personality and their accomplishments. Leo's would greatly benefit from open shelving so they can display pictures from a recent trip, books they love, or their collectibles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A little closet transformation for your Friday 🪄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes all it takes is…
• Matching hangers (I personally love the non-slip)
• Editting your selection (declutter what you don’t LOVE in your closet. Your clothes are an expression of self)
• Reconfiguring items in a way that makes sense (we ditched the designer bags and boxes and swapped them for hats that weren’t being utilized frequently)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Got a space in the home that could use some love before the holidays? Slide into those DMs, appointments are filling fast!

Did you catch my story yesterday? I'm getting ahead of the holiday rush and offering a promotion to run now through the end of December. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you purchase a gift certificate for a home organizing session, both you and the recipient will receive one FREE hour of organizing. That means you pay for only 3 hours of labor instead of the typical 4 hours that my session include.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are so many benefits to gifting an organized space for yourself and others on your shopping list. Gift certificates come on a premium matte paper with an envelope included so you don't even have to stress about the wrapping. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Experiences as gifts are all the rage. Got questions about my holiday promo? Drop them below or send me a DM!

How do you do laundry?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you the wait for the weekend and do it all at once kind of person? Or do you prefer to run smaller loads throughout the week? I recently started doing a smaller load of laundry every other day and let me just tell you, not having to spend so much time folding in one sitting has massively improved my mood. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know you roll in the comments!

I can't tell you the amount of times I've drafted this post in my head. So here it goes...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hi! It's been a minute. I hope everyone had a beautiful summer and you’re enjoying an equally wonderful fall.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Maybe you wondered where I was or maybe you didn't notice at all that I was MIA. The truth was, I just really needed some time. As most of you know, Gioia is currently my side hustle but I was putting so much pressure on myself to make it my full time gig in addition to my corporate workload. My health (mental and physical) and relationships suffered as a result so I knew I had to take a step back to refocus. And it took a few months.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I recently took a client where we just did some basic decluttering in her apartment and after she said "I can't thank you enough for this, this was life changing". That was the moment it hit me that the work I do is impactful. It's a needed service and damnit, I'm good at it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Looking forward to getting back in the Instagram groove, spending an appropriate amount of time on my business, and reconnecting with all the good people here.

Hi! I’m still here.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been super quiet on social media recently. I’m currently on the east coast spending some much needed time with family and friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am booking currently through July (wow!) and next week I will have some website updates and new things coming your way for this business.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for your patience, continual support, and love. 💋

In the midst of Ta**us season, I’ve been pretty quiet on the gram. Indulging in self care, prioritizing my needs, and enjoying a little lazy time (to be perfectly honest!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although my sun is in Cancer, I have a few Ta**us placements in my chart (my ascendant, Moon, and Mars) so I always love this time of year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what’s the deal with Taureans? Ruled by Venus, they loves the finer things in life. This can be tricky because they are also very practical and down to earth. Incorporating living plants into their home can motivate them to keep an organized and functioning space. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Where are my Ta**us followers at?! ♉️

I love how this sweet little playroom turned out. Swipe to see the before! 🧸

Stepping into peoples spaces is such an amazing experience because I get to learn to much about their lives. I am grateful to my clients who allow me to create more breathable and functional spaces in their home. ♥️

I loved organizing this sweet little playroom! 🧸

It’s always so fun to step into people’s spaces and learn about their lives. This project was no exception. ♥️

Organizing spaces is so much more than color coding, file folding, and category sorting.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many clients are surprised to learn whats included in my packages and what we accomplish in organizing sessions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ I push you to stay on track in the rooms were focusing on. You hire me because it’s hard for your attention to one space for a given period of time and I’m there to whip it into shape. 💪🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ I’m coaching you and asking questions to determine what treasures we should keep and which we should thank and part with. There’s emotion in every object! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ There will be trash and I will take it away after every session. Unless there’s like.. a lot of it. Then we call in the experts like 😅. Oh and donations? I take those away too so they don’t sit in your garage for months.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ If a client elects to purchase product, I include a moodboard for products that fit your style and budget. Talk about a personalized experience!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✖️ Most importantly, I make you fall in love with your home. Whether you’re moving in or you’ve been there for years, the spaces will become functional and beautiful ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have I convinced you to book that consultation? Give me a call today 📞

Love getting the mini samples from but never use them? I gotchu.

If you don’t have a system in place, these items can get out of hand quickly. My recommendation is to dedicate a container or space for them in plain site. The next step? Commit to testing the product!

How often do you say “I’ll use that eye cream sample for a special occasion.”? Well, today is that special occasion! 🎉

We are fully in Aries season!

Aries, ruled by Mars, love high energy. When it comes to organizing, you will find them with the music jamming in a purging vortex. If they are going to do something, it will be all or nothing!

Which of my Aries followers can relate to this? ♈️

As always, organizing and astrology fun facts are provided by . Join us live tomorrow at noon (PST) to discuss spring cleaning, clutter, and (as always) some feng shui/astrology information. See you then!

Hi! It’s me, just wanted to remind you to put some dirty clothes in the washing machine. And then don’t wait a week to fold it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ok? You can do it, I believe in you! 🧺

Died, went to shoe heaven. 👠 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don’t think anything else has to be said about this bomb shoe collection. It sure did inspire me to work harder so my closet can look like this. ♥️

Hey... how are you taking care of YOU?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like maybe I do a bad job of showing up on this app when I am not on top of my game. Did you know my house can sometimes get so messy it sets me into a depressive episode? The laundry piles up, dirty dishes sit, dog toys are strewn across the floor, and all I want to do is crawl into bed and sleep (and scroll through Tik Tok). That’s usually one reason I disappear on the gram.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even when you have an organized home with clearly labeled zones, life gets busy and overwhelming and I feel cleaning can be the hardest to keep up with. Cleaning is a form of self care and it almost always creates a domino effect for productivity in other areas of your life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m proposing a zone cleaning challenge for anyone interested. We tackle one area of the house every day. No more stressing about cleaning the entire house at once. If you’re in, shoot me a DM and I’ll send you the deets!

The chilly weather in Vegas is making me dream of warmer days. Who is freaking ready for pool season? 👙 🌊 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s something embarrassing: I grew up on the east coast in Baltimore, Maryland so I was used to bitter cold winters. Now, after living in Vegas for 4 years, I have to wear a coat in 60 degree weather like a chump 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who is with me? Anyone else cold unless it’s 90 or above? 😅

Happy International Women’s Day! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am forever in awe of women. Intuitive, thoughtful, caring, supportive, beautiful, hilarious women. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Over the last year I met many different female entrepreneurs and I felt an outpour of love and support in a way I never knew possible. The narrative I continually see is that there’s room for everyone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What a beautiful way to live and treat each other. Let’s continue to work towards reserving judgements, celebrating our wins, listening to each other’s stories, and stopping the competitive mindset. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. This awesome drawing is of me and my best friends, created by the amazingly talented .illustrated (another bad ass woman I met in this social realm - how cool is that?!).

This stylists color station is ready for action. All that’s missing are some labels to keep those shades in the right containers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you to for always including me in your fun salon remodels and visions. We probably laugh more than work when together and I wouldn’t have it any other way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re in Vegas and looking for a stylist, go give her a follow and a call! 📞 💇🏻‍♀️

Well my oh my... I’m late into a season that deserves care and attention. Happy Pisces Season! ♓️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This beautiful and intuitive water sign is one of my favorites. Pisces are ruled by Neptune, so there is an emphasis on the comforts of home. This sign would benefit to do a deep focus on organizing the bedroom and creating a sacred space there before tacking other areas of the home. One step at a time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Astrology and organizing fun facts are provided by the wonderful . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Any Pisces followers in the house?! Could you use a bedroom refresh? 🛌

I just love satin blouses so much so this collection was a joy to work with. 😍 👚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With work from home becoming the new norm for most, I’m curious: are you dressing up daily or are you kicking it in sweats? I’m a sweats girl myself but I do see the merit in getting dressed and put together every morning.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I present to you, The Five Love Languages of Organizing. My love language is words of affirmation so I get all tingly inside when people compliment me on keeping a tidy and organized home. 🥰

Valentine’s may seem like a bogus holiday to some and I totally get it. But I think there’s something nice about dedicating a day to celebrate love, in all ways, shapes, and forms.

What’s your love language? Do any of these resonate? 😂

Spice up your life! 🧂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re up for the responsibility of refilling the containers, I think there’s something special about uniform spice jars. It instantly elevates the area and makes things so much easier to locate.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think about decanting spices, love it or leave it? 👍🏼 👎🏼

I have been trying to think of a clever caption all week but to be honest, creativity is escaping me lately! 😅⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I do want to say is this...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am immensely grateful for the people who take a chance on me (cue the Abba), welcome me into their spaces, and give me the opportunity to make changes to their lives and homes through the gift of organizing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been booking up with consultations and appointments and I really had to take a step back and express my thanks. I never thought I’d get to where I am and I’ve only just begun. 💪🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grazie e ti amo!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(Thank you and I love you!) ♥️
