If it seems almost impossible to keep your necklaces, rings, and other accessories neat and organized, read on! These smart tips will show you new, smart ways to keep your jewelry and accessories tidy and tangle-free. Best of all, you can make them yourself — inexpensively!

Antique Saucer Jewelry Storage [Buzzfeed]
Store your everyday jewelry right out in the open by using a few china tea saucers. You can usually find them at your local thrift store, and they make a good place to corral loose rings, bracelets, and earrings.

Hanging Thread Organizer [onegoodthingbyjillee.com]
Make a quick visit to your local craft store and purchase a wooden thread organizer. This handy storage solution is meant to hold spools of thread, but its numerous wooden pegs are also perfect for hanging necklaces and bracelets on the back of a door, on the wall, or inside of a cabinet.

Corkboard Jewelry Holder [beehiveandbirdsnest.com]
Many people have an unused corkboard tucked away in a closet, and if you don’t, you can easily pick one up for cheap at an office supply store. Place attractive push-pins all over the corkboard and arrange them in a way that best suits your jewelry collection.

Taqueria El Paisa: A Hidden Gem for Mexican Fare in Albuquerque

April 23, 2015 2:32 pm

Taqueria El Paisa may not look like much from the outside, but what it lacks in curb appeal, it more than makes up for in its kitchen. This little spot has earned a loyal patronage through authentic Mexican taqueria-style cuisine that's made to order — and at prices that are easy on the wallet.

Keeping with its humble decor, the menu sticks to the basics: tortas, burritos, gorditas, and tacos, the latter of which are served upon corn tortillas and sprinkled with chopped onions and cilantro. That said, the tacos are a real crowd-pleaser at Taqueria El Paisa, but first-time diners would be also well-advised to order the mole burrito or the gordita de chicharron. Your meal will be accompanied by a little spice, but it's nothing that can't be curbed by a sip of ice-cold agua de melon.

Taqueria El Paisa is open 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. The eatery is cash-only, so be sure to stop by an ATM on your way over.
