November was a very productive month at Kuzak's Closet. So many of the projects that we have been working on behind the scenes finally came into reality. The regional NAPO (National Association of Professional Organizers) chapter asked me to speak at their local conference during a breakout session so of course I said yes. Public speaking does not bother me, my only worry is being able to cram all of my thoughts into an organized presentation that will allow the audience to have an "ah ha moment." Hope helped me create the ... Keep Reading >>
Holiday Cocktails with Hendrick’s Gin
It's 5 o'clock somewhere right? Tomorrow is Thanksgiving which means today is one of the most popular days to enjoy a cocktail with family and friends. I am looking forward to a happy hour drink tonight myself knowing that I don't have to wake up early tomorrow to go to work. Typically I'm up early on Thanksgiving to get my kitchen in gear but this year we are enjoying the holiday with some friends so it is going to be a very laid back, low stress holiday. Nothing. Better. Than. That! Henrick's Gin partnered with us for our ... Keep Reading >>
Kuzak’s Closet Holiday 101 Top 5 Organizing Tips
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is this week already? I typically host dinner at my house but this year I am going to enjoy the holiday with my friend Pam and her family which will be a treat.

I've learned to keep things simple, always prep what I can ahead of time, and ... Keep Reading >>
Holiday Hosting 101 with Sur La Table
Over 60 guests, press and bloggers gathered together this week with Kuzak’s Closet to capture the spirit of the season at a press and friends event in partnership with the wonderful Sur La Table Palo Alto, on Sunday, November 15. We've collaborated with big brands in the past for events but this partnership was truly amazing! The event was expertly curated and organized with the events team at Sur La Table and Kuzak's Closet. My hat goes off to Ruth and Monica who push me (I am an introvert afterall) to do things like this! I ... Keep Reading >>
Emergency Prep
As a professional organizer I look inside dozens of homes every week and it always shocks me when I don’t find an emergency kit. This week's rain storm reminded me that I should put all of my favorite tips together and share with all of you before El Nino arrives! It doesn’t matter where you live, you are susceptible to an earthquake, hurricane, snow storm, power outage, flood, or even a water pollution problem as we have seen in the news. Any of these things could leave you and your family stranded at home for a few days without ... Keep Reading >>
Month In Review: October
October is always on of my favorite months! It is always jam packed with fun organizing projects in anticipation of the upcoming holidays and new year's goals around the corner. It also features estates that have been in the works since the summer months. It's definitely one of those months where my world's collide. Every month I write about a new state of "busy" for me at Kuzak's Closet but this month has really topped it off. I've consistently been working 15 hour days with little time for fun or relaxation. I'm really ... Keep Reading >>
Sleek and Organized Command Center
I love having everything at my fingertips so it's natural that setting up systems for my clients is on my top list of happiness projects. There is something about knowing where things are "just in case" you need them that gives me comfort. When it comes to organizing, many people have an inverted idea of what is important versus not important. What I mean by that is that many of my clients have spent time organizing the items they use rarely or want to archive but never seem to spend the time on the important items like a mail ...

Month In Review: Septemeber
September was a really fun month at Kuzak's Closet. We worked on so many gorgeous and exciting projects that I can hardly believe they all took place in a short 30 day period. I always tell my staff that one week at Kuzak's Closet is equivalent to a month for most people. I am so lucky to have so many wonderful clients an professional partners, after 6 years in California I am still learning but I feel like I'm over the major humps in my business. Of course there are new challenges, risks, and roadblocks that come up but that ... Keep Reading >>
Verge Style Maker Happy Hour
I never say no to a girls night out so when my gal pal Monica asked me to be apart of a happy hour event hosted by Verge Restaurant at The Toll House Hotel in Los Gatos I marked my calendar. I've been to the Toll House before for a holiday event in the past but I had no idea they had such a cute patio with fire pits and an amazing menu, it is really a hidden gem! Verge had a special table set up for us to sip and enjoy some laughs. In addition to my friend Monica, fellow bloggers Alyson, Nicole, and Paulina made great company. ... Keep Reading >>
