Bathroom Organizing TipsOrganizing your bathroom can be fun and rewarding.  Make your bathroom a relaxing place to be by following these basic bathroom organizing tips.

1. Cleaning 

Empty all cabinets and drawers and wipe the surfaces.  Hair, dust and residue tend to collect in these areas.  Use an essential oil such as tea tree, lemon or orange to disinfect and add a fresh scent.

2. Make Up

When organizing and inventorying your make up combine all make up into one area.  Remember to check your desk, purse, suitcase and vanity so all your makeup is inventoried.  Dispose any make up that is old and expired.  Donate new make up that you know you will not use to a local women’s shelter.  Remove any colors that do not suit you anymore.  For more great tips on organizing your make up, read more from LeAnn Conway Refresh Your Makeup Bag

3. Towels

To organize your towels follow these simple steps: Gather all bath towels, hand towels, wash clothes, etc. from around your home.  Determine a reasonable number of towels per person in your home plus guests.  Two bath towels, hand towels and wash clothes per person may be reasonable. Donate extra to a local animal shelter or human society. Fold the towels in a consistent way.  There is no magic method to this, just fold them how they will best fit your cabinet or closet.

4. Organize

Now it is time to put all items back into the cabinets.  You may want to consider purchasing some organizing supplies now that you know what you have and how you want to store it. Organizing supplies such as drawer dividers, containers, multi-level shelves, hanging shelves, or lazy Susan maybe helpful. Local hardware stores, Bed Bath & Beyond or the Container Store offer great solutions.  When organizing remember to only keep what you love and need, keep like items together and find a space that fits your stuff.
