\"bathroom<\/a><\/p>\n

Sometimes it is the little things that matter most! Getting your bathroom and vanity area organized can make a difference in getting out the door on time in the morning and starting the day with a bright outlook! Pamper yourself with these tips for organizing <\/a>makeup and jewelry.\u00a0 Organizing your bathroom makes it easier to get ready in the morning and get out of the house on time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Makeup organizing<\/span><\/h3>\n

So many samples and products<\/h4>\n

We all have products we have purchased that are expensive but we decided not to use. Make a decision \u2013 toss, \u201cgift\u201d to a friend, or use the product. If you are still not able to decide due to the expense of the product, date the back of the box, and vow to decide in 6 months. As you are reviewing your products, check the expiration dates. Even if your product has not been opened, the expiration date of one year still applies.\u00a0 Remember, cosmetics have a shelf life due to bacterial growth.<\/p>\n

Samples and gift sizes can get out of hand! Keep one container in a guest bath for pampering your guests. Give extra products and samples to college students or teenagers you know. Store the remainder in plastic containers, labeled with the type of product, shampoo, conditioner, lotion or whatever. Also consider giving sample sizes to a women\u2019s shelter or church mission trip.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Divide and conquer<\/h4>\n

Think of the cosmetics displays and counters in the department store. Categorize the different products by their use. Keep products together for your face, your eyes, your lips, and more. Use the back of your vanity space to store the extra products, using baskets or plastic bins for each of the different types of products. For additional vertical space, retail stores have a shelf addition that will double your space under your counters.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Access for every day<\/h4>\n

For everyday use, keep just one of each product handy for you to use. Keep them in a container that can be lifted easily from below inside your vanity or in the top center drawer for easy access. Purchase containers that keep each group of products together, with an area for mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow, another area for moisturizer, blush, and face powder, and another area for lip liner and lipstick.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jewelry<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Create a \u201chome\u201d for your jewels<\/h4>\n

Keep a small tray in the kitchen and on your bathroom vanity to be the \u201chome\u201d for your jewelry when you take off your watch, rings, and bracelets. This way you always know where to find these valuables! I always take my jewelry off as I reach home so as not to damage these doing chores and laundry. Diamonds are hard, but can still chip when hitting the center of the washing machine!<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Queens jewels or not<\/h4>\n

Review your jewelry \u2013 are there broken pieces that need repair? Have you lost a stone? Is there a family heirloom that might be refashioned and worn? Keep these out for repair. Also, is it time to part with some of the costume jewelry that is outdated? Donations to worthy causes and mission trips are a wonderful way to share your blessings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about access<\/h4>\n

With your remaining jewels, decide what is everyday jewelry and dress up! Separate these for access and storage. For dress up, store valuables in a locked cabinet if possible. Keep all of it together so you know where it all is, otherwise you can lose individual pieces if stored around your home in various spots. Purchase a small safe or locked file cabinet for a great storage space. Do not store jewelry in your master bedroom \u2013 this is the typical spot to check in a robbery. Depending on the quantity of dress up jewels you have, store in boxes from the jewelry store with a label on the outside, or purchase individual leather trays from Hold Everything or clear containers from the Container Store.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"bathroom<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For everyday jewelry, store your items as if they were in a jewelry store. There are two ways to do this \u2013 store all the rings, bracelets, necklaces separately by category. Or store the items that make a \u201cset\u201d together \u2013 a matching ring, bracelet, earrings and necklace in one area. Inexpensive jewelry boxes are available at retail stores and The Container Store to view your jewelry for easy access. Choose what you love, either counter top or inside a drawer, to keep you organized!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You may decide to further your \u201cSpa Treatment\u201d in your bath and include your linen closet, medicine cabinet or other area. Please call me if I can be of assistance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
