Calling ALL NEAT Interns!

S•U•M•M•E•R can't come soon enough!! 

Partly because it means warmer weather, dresses, flip flops, and weekends by the pool/beach...BUT mainly because we are hiring Interns!

Yep, NEAT Method is looking for rock star Interns who want nothing more than to spend this upcoming summer immersed in a fun and “neat” start-up -- with a great group of women we might add!

Bachelor Nation

It is that time again! You know... the upcoming night when all of America turns on their tv to find out who the Bachelor will choose. Shortly after, everyone swears that they "will never watch the show again" because they can't believe he picked, "her." Regardless, our fella Sean will have to face the facts: we expect a live wedding or a public, disasterous breakup. In the hopes of thinking on the bright side, we're going to give some tips to Sean and all other fellas out there on how to make room for their significant other.

First things first: Something's Gotta Go! Priorities, priorities, priorities, fellas. You likely are going to have to make more room in the closet department. Here are some helpful tips! Take your old favorite T's and turn them into a t-shirt blanket. Or, consider taking some of those bulky sweaters and using storage under your bed.

Taking it to the next level: Fool her into thinking you are a cooking machine. Even if you don't have a lot in the kitchen, set it up like you know what you are doing. Get some inserts for those drawers. Once items have a place in the kitchen, there will be plenty of room for her to add her favorite kitchen gadgets.

Lastly: If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. We are suckers for a sappy love story. But let's be honest, Sean's fairytale ending statistically is disaster bound. Making your place NEAT for your girl won't be a waste even if things don't work out. Here are a few things that a girl would LOVE to see done in your place:

-Keep your gaming to a minimum. Hide them in here so she thinks you have other interests.

-Any furniture that was not designed to be furniture needs to go.

-All posters that have things that start with a 'W' need to go (think, Wizards, WWF, Women....)

One Man's Junk....

Is another man's (or woman's) treasure! 

Are there things laying around your house that you know you should get rid of and just don't? We know you're thinking this is going to be our way of telling you why you should and how to do so, but instead we've decided to prove that the NEAT girls are just like the average person. 

Believe it or not, we hold onto unnecessary treasures as well. Here are just a few examples of our slightly embarrassing possessions...

Little Mermaid, little mermaid treasure song, little mermaid treasure, treasure, mermaid, disney, disney's the little mermaid

Marissa hates to admit it, but she herself found an item that she tends to hoard...Cooks Illustrated magazines. When asked if she ever looks at them for recipe inspiration, her reply was simply "No". Then she further explained that it was likely because she also has the Cooks Illustrated Cookbook of 2,000+ recipes...Oh, and there is the Science of Good Cooking cookbook as well. 

Really Maris? REALLY???

We discoverd that Molly had these hidden gems tucked away in her closet. She refers to them as her "fancy shants" and explains that "they are just so comfortable"- but she would never be caught dead sporting them. Oh, and did we mention that they are Abercrombie & Fitch?

Moll, just think how happy you could make a 13yr. old girl (or boy) out there!

Ashley shared that this Juicy Couture (terry cloth limegreen dress) was one of her favorite summer staples and would love for the trend to come back. "There aren't many dresses that absorb water and allow for a great tan at the same time," she stated. 

Ummmm Ash, even if the trend comes back there's a chance it wouldn't cover your tush!

Lastly, Heather admitted that she hasn't rocked this Nomination bracelet since highschool, but due to sentimental value - hates to see it go. 

It's ok Hez, we all had one too! However, it may be time to find another girl with the HG initials who will gladly rock the statement piece.

If any of you have any junk that someone else may find as a treasure, please feel free to share! We promise we won't judge.
