My husband is in the bathroom getting ready to go when I hear him start laughing, I ask "whats up?" He chuckled "come here". Curious, I come see. He had mistaken his black can of Edge shaving cream with his black can of Axe deodorant. He had shaving cream in his arm pit! I laughed so hard!
(would it be mean to make a label that says "NOT DEODORANT" for his shaving cream?)
Anyways, this did NOT happen due to a cluttered mess, the medicine cabinet was still organized from when I did it and my bathroom cabinet here.
See the AFTER from almost 7 weeks ago next to the BEFORE from today: 
(apparently I use a jug of mouthwash each month, that's a new one)
There was one tiny aspect of the medicine cabinet that needed a little tweaking though.
The winter weather made me bring out my lip treatment stuff, and the medicine cabinet seemed like the perfect place for it. This wonderful little dish wasn't working any more.
When I first realized this could be improved, I got the idea to attach some magnets to the wall, above the dish, on the inside of the cabinet, to stick the nail clippers and tweezers to, but I don't have any magnets strong enough (I tested all the ones I had on hand) and Ive decided not to buy anything unnecessarily for this challenge, or until February when I can spend some more "fun money".
So I came up with plan B: 
Rather than putting the clippers and tweezers inside, I hung them off the side of the votive holder, so they'd be easy to grab. Also, my husband sanitizes his nail tools after use, he can just fill the little cup with alcohol rather than getting a different cup and leaving it out on the counter like he did last time.

The lip stuff went into a different candle holder, (I'm glad I'm getting to use some of my candle holders, Ive given up candles due to my husband's sensitivity to smells and smoke, the toothbrushes are in one too)

Well done!
ReplyDeleteThat was clever putting things in the cups! Love that!
ReplyDeleteI really like your idea about using candle holders as organizing tools! I have quite a few of those needing to be used for things other than candles. ;) Great job!
ReplyDeleteGood job!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I love the idea of a lip care kit in this dry, cold weather. I think I need to get my lip arsenal going! Now following!
ReplyDeletegreat idea with the clippers!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! I love it!
ReplyDeletewe thought we'd use, only to have it sit in the cabinet for months, sometimes years. If the food is still within the expiration date, you can of course donate the food to a local food pantry. If you'd rather make a meal out of your current cabinet inventory, there's an easy way to generate recipe ideas using Recipe Matcher.
