Seasonal Sunday: Cleaning Out Your Bathroom Products

If you have been following along on our organization theme for Seasonal Sunday, you may be wondering what you can do to make your bathroom a place of zen.  As with every other area of your home, less is going to be more.

Bathroom products can multiply on their own if given the chance.  I like to only buy products that I've used and am committed to.  Otherwise, you end up with your bathroom full of products that you tried, didn't like, won't use, but don't want to toss because you spent good money on them.  The sooner you realize that there are no magic creams or potions that are going to make you look younger or more beautiful, the sooner you can think about what products you actually need. 

So what products do you actually need?  For me, that is shampoo, conditioner, bar soap, coconut oil for makeup removal, face lotion, charcoal bar soap for face wash, deodorant, body lotion, hair oil, hairspray, and eye gel.

Products that I like but could survive without are astringent and vitamin E oil.  It's easy to tell the difference between the products that you actually need and the ones you like.  When you go on a trip, a weekend away, or camping (God forbid) what do you bring?  The essentials, and perhaps cyanide capsules if you have been forced to camp against your will, is all you really need.  

When you clean out your bathroom products, use up what you have or give them to someone who will use it.  Stop buying products to look younger or promise to reduce the look of your wrinkles.  The only thing besides a good moisturizer that will actually make you look younger or wrinkle-free is to visit a plastic surgeon for surgical or nonsurgical options.  

I recommend Dr. Joe Gryskiewics at TC Plastic Surgery if you live in the Twin Cities.  I personally get Xeomin, which is just like Botox, injected so that I don't get crows feet wrinkles when I smile.  I also get filler in the laugh lines on my face.  These two things work and I believe they are worth every penny.  I've had other procedures with Dr. Joe and he is a mother f*cking wizard.  I'd rather spend money on something that works than waste time and money on lotions, potions, and prayer.
