Cleaning out the Bathroom

The Monthly Round Up Challenge at Org Junkie this month was to clean out your make-up and hair supplies. Seeing as how I wear very little make-up and tend to wear my hair in the same style every day (down and straight – boring, I know) I didn’t have a whole lot of work to do.

However, I worked on this project while Cole was home and we ended up using it as an excuse to clean stuff we don’t use out of the bathroom. We have switched to much more natural and simple bathroom products over the course of the summer (more on this topic to come in just a few days!) but had yet to clean all the other junk we weren’t using out of the room. So, after a whole room clean out, here is what our bathroom storage is looking like:

We store the products that we use while getting ready in this shoe organizer on the back of the bathroom door. Every single pocket used to be full – almost overflowing in my pockets. There are now almost two whole rows that have nothing in them; there is just nothing to put there! Wahoo!

There used to be a plastic set of three drawers under the sink; one drawer held my hair ties, one held my makeup, and one held my mirror. That was overkill and took up valuable storage space! Instead I can put all of my makeup in this little case that fits in one of the pockets behind the door:


(This is really all the makeup I wear on a given day.)

(All of my make-up.)

One I use up all of the make-up that I have now I am planning to switch to using mineral makeup as it is much better for my skin! I use so little and have been able to find it greatly reduced in a variety of places that I think it would be a good and easy transition!

We then used the newly found free space under the sink to store our stockpile of bathroom supplies. Instead of storing these things in the linen closet, we can now store all of the products that we need for a year under the sink! And we can use the linen closet to store linens!

The boxes store all of the supplies we will need and the blue fabric pouch holds all of my hair ties and clips.
