Spring Decluttering: Creative Ways to Upcycle Everyday Items

Have you ever felt uninspired or overwhelmed by clutter? It’s easy to let everyday busyness get the best of us, and our homes – meant to be a source of solace and inspiration – can get buried in stuff. Springtime is a natural season for decluttering. So, how can you make the most out of spring cleaning and not only find solutions that are simple but also beautiful?

Reusable glass containers are a simple and beautiful way to organize a variety of spaces. Consider the Oui by Yoplait glass pot – for less than two dollars your viewers can enjoy a simply delicious French-style yogurt and be left with a vessel that can help keep their homes organized all year long. The glass pot can be upcycled in so many creative ways, from vases to candleholders to even part of a seasonal tablescape. Whether it’s for the bathroom, kitchen or your home office, a simple DIY project can not only reorganize a cluttered space, but can bring some beauty back into your home.

When it comes to spring cleaning we all have that one room where everything collects; the kitchen. Just about every kitchen has that famous junk draw where all things get tossed from binder clips, push pins and rubber bands. What if you could upscycle using glass pots that come from your yourt and have a catch- all for all those little supplies you all use and never can find in that junk draw.

“I love Oui by Yoplait, said DIY Expert and Blogger Jenni Radosevich. “It comes in really cute glass pots. Tape off the top of empty glass pot and then I spray painted mine copper to match the rest of my kitchen decor. This is where all binder clips and all the things I get lost in the draw stay in this little container right in my kitchen so I can grab anything anytime I need it.” Instructions

“I love baskets,” said Radosevich. “I put my puppy toys in here, anything that is laying out goes in the basket and goes in the shelf. It’s out of sight out of mind and makes everything look much cleaner.”

Oui by Yoplait

Oui by Yoplait is made with simple, non-GMO ingredients like whole milk, pure cane sugar, real fruit and yogurt cultures. It contains no artificial preservatives, no artificial flavors and no colors from artificial sources.

Eight flavor varieties are available, including Strawberry, Blueberry, Black Cherry, Vanilla, Coconut, Lemon, Peach and Plain.

The Plain variety is made with only two ingredients – whole milk and yogurt cultures. The remaining flavors each contain eight or fewer total ingredients. The fruit flavors include real fruit at the bottom of the pot with the intention of adding a small amount of fruit to each bite without stirring the yogurt and disrupting the thick texture.

Oui by Yoplait will be available in major grocery and retail stores nationwide beginning in July. The suggested retail price for all flavors is $1.49. The Strawberry and Vanilla flavors are also available in four count packages at a suggested retail price of $4.78.
