D. Allison Lee Interview with WUSA9′s Howard Bernstein

Remember my little visit to the MAC makeup counter back in May? That was my make up test run. I had to get a little WUSA9dolled up because I was scheduled to be in front of the camera to chat about all things organizing.

I was told by some of my fellow organizers, especially Ellen Damaschino, that I couldn’t just show up with a clean face and my grape chapstick (my favorite)! =)  She said I needed to look polished and professional. So, I took Ellen’s advice, slapped some paint on my face, and had conversation with Howard Bernstein at WUSA9.

Ellen also told me to remember the “Rule of 3,” i.e., make three points and that’s it. The thing is, I decided to talk about more than three things. She’s pretty media savvy, so why didn’t I listen to her? Dunno. Well, that’s not true. I do know. 

I wanted to talk about everything! I had so many great products and I just couldn’t choose. How could I? The nice folks at Channel 9 gave me 4 whole minutes (more than the usual 3) to talk about anything I wanted. So, I did. I mentioned products that I love, like…

• Easy Find Lids by Rubbermaid

• NeatDesk by NeatCompany

• Simple Division Garment Organizers by Clutter Diet

…just to name three. These companies are on Twitter, btw, so check ‘em out.

Anyway, take a peek at my interview with Howard and let me know what you think…but don’t bother telling me about my hair…ugh…and my face was kinda shiny, too…definitely not ready for my close up. =) 

Btw, have you tried any of the products I talked about? Let me know what you think.



*UPDATE: Lorie Marrero of Clutter Diet was soooo excited that I talked about her garment organizers that she’s offering a huge discount on that product!  See below for the discount and happy shopping! =)
