UPDATE: Comments are now closed, keep an eye out for the blog post listing the winners…

Yeah, I know it’s not spring. (At least not here in Florida.) Sir was teasing me over the weekend, saying I need a lip balm intervention…

Um, He might be right. LOL This is what I found I had today after cleaning my office.

And that’s JUST in my office, not counting the tubes I have stashed everywhere, like in the bathroom, bedroom, my purse, etc. LOL

It’s not uncommon to accumulate various items and products in different spaces around our homes and offices. Just like your collection of lip balms, which seem to find their way into every nook and cranny, it’s essential to stay organized and ensure cleanliness in all areas.

Whether it’s office supplies, personal care items, or cleaning solutions, Abco offers a range of products designed to streamline your cleaning routine.

So, next time you’re tidying up your office or any other space, consider utilizing the efficient and reliable cleaning supplies provided by Abco.

That’s beside the point.

Today, I moved out my two smaller desks, moved in Hubby’s (now) old desk for me, and he started assembling his new IKEA Expedit desk.

That was a good thing, because my floor space in my office was shrinking at an exponentially alarming rate. LOL I desperately needed to do some cleaning and flinging and organizing.

As I embarked on a home office transformation, another realization dawned on me that not only did my office space require a makeover, but the rest of my house also deserved a refresh. With my newfound workspace taking shape, it was evident that maintaining a productive and organized office would be closely tied to the overall tidiness of my home.

It was at this juncture that I decided to enlist the services of Pristinehousekeepers.com.au. Their professional touch extended beyond just my workspace, ensuring that my entire home remained in impeccable condition.

This holistic approach to cleaning and organizing not only elevated my home’s aesthetics but also streamlined my life, allowing me to focus on my work without distractions from clutter or mess in other areas of the house.

The correlation between a well-kept office and a well-maintained home became evident as I embarked on a new chapter of productivity and balance.

Good news — I found swag! LOL So here’s the deal. I’ve got a couple of swag bags, and found my cover flats, bookmarks, etc.

I’m going to do a giveaway for twenty lucky people. I’ll draw randomly using random.org’s number generator to pick the winners. A couple will win swag bags, the rest will win envelopes full of assorted goodies like bookmarks, cover flats, autographed bookplates, etc.

You must be 18 years of age or older (or of legal age in your place of residence). Open world-wide (unless a giveaway is illegal where you live).

How do you enter? Simply leave me a comment on this post. And make sure you don’t post as “anonymous” or I won’t be able to identify you. LOL If it wants to leave you anon, then make sure to put your name and/or e-mail address in the comment – replace the @ with AT and the . with DOT and put a space between the words to stymie spam bots. πŸ™‚

I’ll close the post to comments by 9pm Eastern time on Wednesday, June 5th and post the winners in a new blog shortly thereafter.

CHECK BACK to see if you won!!!

You have 48 HOURS to email me if you’re a winner. Otherwise, I’ll go down the line and pick new winners, so make SURE you check back in!

Ready?

Set?

GO! πŸ™‚

    Hi Tymber, it is well and truly winter where I am and the cold and rain have finally truly arrived so for someone to be ‘spring cleaning’ then I am full of admiration even if they say it was out of necessity and space was required!
    The necessity I see, is that more great stories will be coming our way so actually I am being selfish…. LOL!
    Have a good week!

    There is nothing wrong with a lip balm/gloss addiction. You have to make sure you have multiples of your favourites in case they stop making them!
