Contain Yourself

"Contain Yourself"......this is the slogan that you will see on the shopping bags of one of the best stores ever invented - The Container Store!!!! Now this company has been around for years but we have just now got one in our area. The Container Store opened its 50th store in Charlotte, NC last month and though I have only had a chance to visit once I am head over heels in love!

Anyone that knows me very well knows that I am a VERY organized person. I wouldn't necessarily call myself OCD when it comes to organization but I can't stand clutter or disorganization- everything has its place. For example- almost everything I own is either in alphabetical order, separated by color, style, type, genre, theme, etc. Friends ask me to help them organize things for them (and I catch myself doing it even when they don't ask-haha) To me it just makes life easier to be organized and it just makes me happy to see things all nice and neat.

So with all of that being said you can imagine my excitement of going to the container store. As soon as I walked through the door I knew that I would be visiting this place A LOT! This store is an organizational heaven on earth. They have everything you could ever think of and more. The store is divided into sections (surprise, surprise) based on what you're looking to organize. Everywhere I turned there was something else that was just the coolest thing ever!! They have some of the most unique containers/organizers that I've ever seen. I truly think that if I had the money I would probably own one of everything in the store-no joke. The prices are fantastic too!

Needless to say I highly recommend for everyone to visit The Container Store. And not to worry if you can't visit the actual store they have a website too- containerstore.com . See you again soon my new favorite store!
