I love listening to music. I almost always play some type of music while cleaning the house, driving in the car (talk radio??….no way!), working on the computer, exercising, etc. I prefer to turn up the music so everyone can hear (like in the car or while while scrubbing those darn dishes)……but
there are many times that I need earphones. When I’m working out is
probably when I use them most. Or when I’m talking on the phone and
need my hands free. So, I always have a pair of earphones in my purse.
And somewhere else around the house. But those darn things are always a
tangled MESS! It drives me nuts. I have tried winding them up and
tying something around them…..but another problem that creates, is that
they become so small, I can’t find them in my purse.
So, Steve and I were chatting about that several weeks ago and I was
telling him I needed some sort of case for them. And of course, I
didn’t want to have to buy anything (ha!)……so we started thinking.
Then, he picked up this mint container sitting on his night stand and
said, “what about this?” And that’s when I started gathering all the
mint containers in the house (because I have several pairs of
earphones)……….and created a little home for each pair of earphones.
Hallelujah!
I can now quickly wind them up when I’m done with them, tuck them
into their new holder, and know they’ll be right there when I need them
the next time.
And because I always carry a pair in my purse, I decided some sort of
clip would be really helpful. Because now I can clip it to my purse,
my gym bag, my car keys, or whatever else I have with me……and then I
always know where they are — TANGLE FREE!
Even though I made them with the purpose of storing my earphones
inside, my kids want to use them as little coin cases. That would be
kinda perfect to keep coins from hanging out at the bottom of your bag.
And enjoy!
