Allow Us To Introduce OurselvesWe are Clea and Joanna, professional organizers and “cool moms”! Welcome to The Home Edit for Teens, where we help you edit your spaces, showcase your unique style, and have a little (okay fine, a lot of) fun along the way!
Seriously, getting organized is the best, whether you’re curating your closet (page 74) or hosting a sleepover (page 130). First, a space looks amazing when organized in rainbow order (page 116).
Second, running late for school with zero idea where to find your fave sweatshirt is the absolute worst. And finally, organized spaces don’t only look better, they actually make us feel better (#science)!
If you are reading this, you most likely fit into one or more of these categories:
1. You Love Organizing Same! Your bookshelves and sneakers are organized in rainbow order, and whether it’s colored pens or lip glosses, you have a pouch for that. Welcome! We promise to take your organizing prowess to new heights with solutions for teen-specific conundrums (like corralling unruly hair accessories) as well as ideas for exciting adventures and parties (camp org! sleepover checklists!). We’re so excited to make a book just for you. No parents allowed.
2. You Love the Idea of Organizing—but Are Not Organized You mean not yet! Being organized comes naturally to some, and for others, it just takes a few super-simple tips to get going. Does your closet feel like an avalanche waiting to happen? We have a system for that! Haven’t seen your bathroom countertops (or fave headband) in months? Easy-peasy. Once you start, it’s so fun! Next thing you know, you are
looking for things to organize. Get ready for rooms with rizz. (Did we use “rizz” right?)
3. You Are a Budding Entrepreneur Calling all mini moguls! As best friends who
love organizing, we turned our passion into our dream job. And guess what? So can you! It can be an organizing club using all our tips and tricks or a successful lemonade stand (like on page 59).
4. You Are Our Kids!
Heyyy, Miles and Marlowe. Hiii, Stella and Sutton. This book was inspired by you. This book is dedicated to you. We’re sorry about the rizz comment. But we love y’all more than organizing in rainbow order. This book is for you.
Let’s get started!
