From Bunny Slippers to Business Plans
[$179, JCPenney]
I’ve been going back and forth over how to fill the empty wall space above my desk, and I finally decided that I’d like a bulletin board/wall organizer.
The best one I’ve found? The one above, which comes with an iPod dock for charging, 4 USB connectors, and…I think those are speakers!
It’s already come down $20 since I posted about it on MM last week! I’ve been tight for money since Christmas, but am wondering if I should leap.

On December 31, I posted a New Year’s resolution over at Modern Materialist, wherein I vowed to start pitching again. At the moment, my goal is to have 10 pitches out at any given moment (setting a specific goal is so helpful; Rachel Rose over at Notes on a Whim is doing the same thing).
I’m already up to five, so I’m feeling good about things. But I have to admit, my collection of magazine back issues has dwindled considerably, mostly because my filing system for them was crap, so I had to recycle, recycle, recycle.
I’d like to set up a new system for keeping the back issues I so often refer to when pitching. After the jump, some pretty-as-heck magazine files:
I had the pleasure of receiving a (temporary) sample of a high-ticket item to review over at Modern Materialist. As I feel that the NeatDesk is one primo toy for the at-home entrepreneur, I’ve pasted the bulk of my test drive post after the jump.
Read on for all the fun I had with this high-tech information management system/high-speed scanner.

I’m a huge fan of organizational products, which is why I spend so much time in the Container Store, skipping from aisle to aisle, breathless with excitement and drooling over cabinets and bulletin boards.
(My runners-up? Staples and HomeGoods.)
Sometimes, though, I want the luxury version of my typical office supplies.
Which is why I’m currently hyperventilating over the desk caddies above, available from lustable online shop Room Service Home.
During my time as a Modern Materialista, I’ve continued to find office products that I may not need, but sorta want anyway.
‘Cause they’re pretty. Or clever. Or shiny. Or sparkly.
I like these paper clips from See Jane Work ($6) because they’re whimsical and colorful, while still being practical. Check out your options after the jump:
I’ve always thought that the best part of going back to school was back-to-school shopping.
When I eventually left the classroom behind for the office, things barely changed.
Forget the office supply closet. I brought in my own office supplies, even going so far as to lug in my own, higher-quality three-hole punch.
Now that I have a home office, I feel that my office supplies have no bounds.
I’ve written about BlueLounge products several times before over at the Modern Materialist: here, here, and here. That’s because their products belie an invested interest in making our lives easier, mostly by attacking clutter at its root.
