My bathroom is so small and is always cluttered and messy. Today I finally purged so much stuff and took one step closer towards my "Minimalist in Training" agenda.
I love using a tray system to organize makeup and these acrylic makeup organizers work perfect for this type of system.
I finally started using a pill organizer for my vitamins and I am saving SO MUCH space now in my medicine cabinet!
I purged an entire garbage bag from this bathroom today and I couldn't be happier. Stay tuned to more purging and organizing videos coming soon.

If I get a face cream that I end up not liking, I use it elsewhere instead. My face hates creams that are too heavy, so rather than have them sit in my cabinet, I use them as hand creams, or foot creams. They get used up really quickly and I don't have to throw them away. Thanks for such a great video.

[@gianninal5455]

Debbie Collington I do the same and also use face oils I didn't love on my body and mix face wash I don't like in with my shower products.

[@ohliza3312]

You are effing brilliant. How could I not think of this before?

[@kathydittmer9659]

I just recently started doing that! I have so many cleansers! It feels so much less wasteful!

[@anyaoberkirsch7015]

It's 10 minutes 'til 10pm, and I'm going to get a garbage bag and go through my bathroom. You've inspired me, thank you!

[@shellyj9127]

I like what you said "the money is already spent". That's a good way to think of it when deciding to purge. Great job too!

[@shellyj9127]

I keep my make-up in the bathroom too, I think most of the people I know do too. So, I don't think anything is bad about that.

[@mandyr1980]

You can donate used makeup to funeral homes. That's what I do since they don't need to worry about transferring bacteria and you don't have to feel as guilty about tossing makeup!

[@gianninal5455]

mandyr1980 what a GREAT idea!!! Ugh...it's been killing me trying to think of how to "safely/ethically" dispose of makeup that can't be donated instead of simply tossing it in the trash and straining the environment with even more waste.

[@debrahurtado5491]

🧛 It VAS KILLING YOU... no pun intended, I vamp sure.......

[@TurquoiseInk]

That's awesome, thank you!

[@caitybugg247]

Oh my gosh. I never thought of this! Thank you. I majored in biology and really get stressed out thinking of all the things I might add to landfills if I purge all my things. :/.

[@sallyrodriguez1186]

What?!! U r a genius

[@mallymakings2853]

You really are a breath of fresh air. I suffer from depression and recently I've been struggling. I've had no motivation and become a recluse. You have inspired me to start chucking that crap out. Thank You so much for making me smile. Sending you some love from England.xxxxx

[@mimibatman2787]

Laura Filby I know exactly what you mean! she is just so lovely and REAL and fun! I think so much of what we see in the media is so far away from real life that it makes us feel inadequate because we are comparing ourselves to a fantasy. Wishing you infinite love and gratitude. greetings from Delaware!

[@jillianguilford5191]

Mally, I too have depression and it gets tough. I feel so much better when I get rid of things I don't use/don't want. After that I feel more adult - using the stuff I love, it's looking nice, I feel competent.

[@8985BETHANY]

Love the idea of asking myself if it is something I would buy again today.

[@RTAV108]

'Be the reason someone smiles today' - literally why I watch your videos again n again though I have watched those already. Your humour and your attitude towards life's challenges just brings smile to me. You are realistic and relatable.

[@bethardin2016]

I love staying to the end!😆😆😆

[@Glendra5]

Loving this series! I got rid of 155 items from my kitchen feeling good! I think I will do my bathroom next!!! (Feeling some anxiety...)

[@kaycarle8361]

Ruth Glendinning 155? That's insane!

[@eavening4149]

Ruth Glendinning, way to go! Keep up the momentun! Run with the inspiration for as long as you can!

[@Glendra5]

Kay Carle I know, right!!! I told my family at first I wanted to double the 21 but then I'm just like why not triple or quadruple or just get rid of as much as I possibly can? It was exhausting and the bathroom is next! Much smaller so I am sure a much smaller number we will see

[@Glendra5]

eavening thank you! I'm going to try! Bathroom is next...much smaller area so we will see but it is refreshing and much needed!!

[@RosannaMcCoy]

I hope you donated the stuff to your local food pantry! God bless!!

[@WhatNow858]

Cass, I love your channel so much. I was sooooo tired of these perfect organized women telling me how to organize and clean...and it just wasn't happening. I felt I could never live up to their regimes. Then comes YOU! I love how you freely admit you hate cleaning (because I certainly do) and for years I felt that there was something wrong with me. Truly my house is a vortex of chaos. It eats everything. And its never seen again. Until 2 years later. When you don't need it anymore. You inspire me to take on this challenge and this time....I think I can do it. I can tame the beast. I love your candor, I love your humor. I would invite you to my house--but I really think you would run away screaming. But thank you. And carry on.

[@Whatworksthisworks]

Please don't put yourself down...you are great and very professional! You have been like a friend to me. I think that you should hold your head very high! You are an Organizer, Author, and great Mom and Wife. That is a lot!!

[@nolisa88]

Heyyy ClutterBug!! I have a suggestion. The next time you want to buy a makeup pallet get it from Ulta or Sephora because if you find that you don't like it they will let you return it...Love your channel you have so many helpful tips!

[@Clutterbug]

Thanks!

[@tauwnisimpson6142]

Walgreens does this too. Within a certain timeframe. It might only be a week after purchase. No questions asked! I used to work there years ago.

[@faithprayerblessings]

i love your new system for me i too had bought those green baskets from the dollar but after a while not only did they not really organize my stuff well, i felt as if tge colors were overwhelming me. i too like now clear organizers they look much more neat and you can really see whats in it.

[@ES-go9ue]

I put all my cords in bathroom & kitchen in tp rolls. Really helps keep them neat

[@JoyceDawn100]

THANK YOU FOR PURGING THOSE OVAL BRUSHES! If you knew (or anyone reading & caring :), I have LITERALLY wasted hours researching these brushes!!

[@AWanderingEye]

JoyceDawn100 Please do tell, they look like a good solution for wet foundation application...

[@faeriefire78]

I'm loving this series! Whenever I have body sprays I need to use up (or that don't work well with my body chemistry, but smell great out of the bottle) I use them as room sprays. It's a great way to still get use out of them (especially in the bathroom!)

[@timekabolden5309]

🥰💯💯💯

[@memaw7223]

I love these videos too. I started purging in my kitchen this weekend and yesterday I cleaned out a spare closet full of wishful clothes! It's a great feeling!

[@anav41]

I am loving these purge videos!! So motivational!!

[@baltimorehopedealer]

Ana v I agree. I removed 21 items from my kitchen after the first video. Onto the bathrooms!!!

[@voodle50]

ive purged my entire house. It is such an amazing feeling! !!

[@kazhanlon]

How long did it take you, and did you do one room at a time or did you have some sort of system.

[@voodle50]

Kaz Hanlon honestly Kaz I didn't have a set system. I just knew I couldn't live with the stuff anymore. I think I started in the kitchen then lounge room. I do the bathroom regularly anyway. It just kind of snow balled! i did my laundry again on Monday. We are also renovating so organizing systems are not 100%throughout my house. I think purging is a continual war to be waged against😅😅

[@andreap3982]

I am in the process of doing the same thing. I've been at it for weeks. I still have ton's I want to get to but I have to pace myself because can be rather pricey. I shop dollar tree alot too! I just finished my medicine cabinet today. MY family Loooves it! And it takes me half the time it used to to do anything! It's such a liberating wonderful experience :)

[@rozatemurzieva6699]

so much positive energy coming from Cas that you can even feel it through monitor..

[@librarycalling]

"..we still look 40!" I love that little quote. So true. I'm a 40's gal and have looked for that miracle product! Ain't gonna find it. I like the thought that just keeping a hold of the expensive product doesn't make us rich! Good stuff today!

[@MommaFromScratch]

I have the acrylic holder and love it, I also uses small locking containers for my makeup to help with travel and keep it small and away from kids who like to use it for drawing or eating.

[@mariaegues]

I love that you are so down to earth. You're honest and real. I enjoy all of your videos tremendously. Thank you so much.

[@aestheticsprkls]

I am so excited for you! Minimalism is truly a life changer. Love your videos and good luck! Decluttering really does get addictive.

[@sherrieray3360]

i love your attitude and your honesty its lovely to see someone who is real and i can laugh with

[@brightpurpleviking]

I've been purging things by the DOZENS AND DOZENS and it feels GREAT! Thank you for the encouragement and the direction to just get it done. And I keep my makeup in the bathroom, too...always have and I've never had a problem with it. No worries!

[@brandybarnett9953]

Yes. I love how you say that making things so easy to put away that it's as easy as leaving it out. I also love how you are going and fixing things that you organized before, but still isn't working.

[@Clutterbug]

I'm pretty passionate about being lazy ;)

[@remainingembers]

I recently organized our bathroom... got a nice basket to put the cleaning stuff in and I organized my mom's drawer, which mostly just has her essentials and hair stuff. I used a Nutella lid to hold her bobby pins. Small baskets and little containers like that really help.

[@dreamer4L1]

Really enjoyed this video. I find that thinking about what I want to keep, instead of what I should get rid of seems to help with the whole process of letting go. Great job in your bathroom!

[@pennymartin6314]

Cass, can I just say it is soo nice to find someone who is also going through a purge-simplify-minamize journey. 2016 showed me that I had to simplify my life. I really enjoy watching your videos and hearing your awesome ideas for organizing. I am looking forward to your next video!! Many thanks!!

[@eavening4149]

Not just 'basically empty' but well organized, too! it looks like everything you have has a specific place now! Awesome job!

[@masanch8]

I keep my make up in the bathroom. I don't have the space elsewhere and I don't see a problem with it! I'm purging and decluttering too before I even saw your playlist! It feels great! Thanks for the additional tips!! You're awesome!

[@ginamonty2727]

I am going to try to do this tomorrow in my bathroom. Thank you for the inspiration! I struggle with being wasteful too!!😊

[@ouvickie]

I've had that problem too and I am getting specific and minimalist about my choices and what I keep too. You did a great job!!

[@danielleheredia2008]

I had a tinier bathroom once. I used an over the door shoe holder to hold my bathroom stuff. I’m a visual person so it helped a lot. I LOVE over the door shoe holders.

[@wanderingwalksasmr]

Your new makeup system is exactly how I organise mine - works perfectly even on lazy/rushed days 😊 For my vitamins & supplements I put mine with my breakfast cereals which I have everyday so that I have to pull out the pill basket to get to my breakfast and that why I remember to take them x

[@shymar08]

U can also keep some of the body sprays & use it as an air freshener after someone uses the bathroom instead of buying air fresheners. Thats what I do with those I don't use or like anymore 😊

[@ar-gm5on]

shymar08 i was thinking homemade reed diffuser...

[@hisgraceissufficient2427]

I also use my body sprays as air fresheners! I love going around to every room and spraying! Makes the house smell so good!

[@littleblondemop]

Good way to repurpose!

[@dandelionDub]

i bring body lotions, creams and butters to work and leave them in girls bathroom. If anyone needs a hand cream just uses whatever they like.

[@RochelleLang]

shymar08 I do that too. I actually like the body sprays more than the air fresher scents on the market. I also use them to freshen my linens and recharge my scented lotions.

[@sabrinakinnick1246]

I keep my make up in the bathroom thought everyone did lol. Your such a joy to watch. Super happy and positive, love it.

[@frangish9579]

Yes! The clutter I pointedly ignore, is being examined today. I will have floor space to reach all my cabinets. Thank you. I hadn't considered the cost of guilt keeping. I also have hashimotos hypothyroidism, I tried that pill box idea...but my ADHD gets in the way of me self managing the vitamins weekly. I also love the blackboard vinyl, I can hide my nag notes to myself, instead of post it notes. Okay! I followed your show today, posted it on FB with a goal for the day. I did it! My daughter and I decluttered over 100 items, and moved 5 things to their appropriate rooms! Woot! Woot!

[@AWanderingEye]

Fran Gish Maybe find something similar to a month long version and load up 1x/mo? (thinking advent calendar with drawers).

[@Miss_Annlaug]

I live your videos. Ive followed you for years and think you are the most relatable, lovely youtuber out there. I bought your book and it is also so informative. But nothing beats your videos

[@pennyhone]

Brilliant - love the idea of a spa basket - thanks for great ideas!

[@mallorywang5568]

Wow, great job purging your bathroom! That's a ton of stuff. I, too, am a goo collector. I had a bunch of mostly empty bottles of shampoo cluttering my shower, and one day I decided to just mix them all together. Sounds weird, but it worked fine. Now my husband and I have one shampoo and one conditioner like civilized adults :p Makeup is the area where I still have a large collection, but I let it be. It's something I love and enjoy experimenting with, so I have the majority of my collection organized by type of product in a closet, and then a very pared down collection of what I'm currently wearing on a daily basis that I keep on the counter. I like to swap things out, so it works for me!

[@MamaFriday]

Found your channel recently and I love that you are so REAL. I get discouraged watching channels with all this Pinterest - worthy hype about how perfectly they live. I just can't relate. Your home is beautiful and Pinterest worthy, but you are also so honest about the process. My bathroom looks exactly like your 'before'... it's my 'a-ha ' moment that if you can do it, maybe I can too! Please keep keeping it real. 👏

[@OldWorldHome]

Yeah Cas, this was amazing! Purging is addictive, can't wait to see how you steamroll the rest of the house 😆 We can only use so many products and things a day/week and the rest is just plain clutter and junk.

[@voodle50]

my so-called home totally agree. Can't wait to see your new house tour! How exciting. New home new beginnings.

[@JayeLo]

so proud of u! lol.. I used my extra body spray for car freshers... looking forward to more of these videos...

[@wallflower5182]

I like the body sprays for air fresheners in the bathroom or anywhere. But car? Hey, good idea!

[@AdventureswithAmirah]

Awesome job! You seem so much more zen in the after shots, and your voice is all calm and happy. It's amazing how getting things together can bring such peace to our lives. Love the chalk board messages, and the music at the beginning was the perfect start to my day.:) Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful day! 🎀-Amirah

[@jazbeads]

I have silently watched your videos since your maltose days but today I need to say something. Thank you. This series is really inspirational. I feel so motivated to truly take a long hard look at the stuff in my home. I'm going to embark upon the great purge of 2017. Thank you again

[@alrshaw11]

I am so so happy you did that collab with Melissa from Clean my Space! It's refreshing to watch organizing videos from someone who isn't "naturally" organized. Your great purge of 2017 is really inspiring me, thank you!

[@audrak.7066]

I just came across this video and your mentality has inspired and challenged me to tackle the clutter in the bathroom! Thank you!!!

[@kimpattin4205]

Thank you Cas for posting this! I'm doing the bathroom today; the office and kitchen tomorrow!

[@carmensnodgrass8074]

Thank you Cas I will be purging my master bath tomorrow! Great suggestion on having a clear kitchen counter too in the last vid. My hubby and i are impressed with how much nicer it made our kitchen.

[@tphili555]

You did great! Congratulations! It's very freeing to keep what you love.

[@coupongal3219]

If I don't like something like lotion,spray I give it to maybe a friend or family member that way it want make us fill like we dont feel like wasting it. Toothbrush covers love them. No judgement here go girl. And you don't even need makeup the beauty is inside and you are so kind and amazing.TFS

[@claragarcia2471]

I try to do that at least once a year. it's so refreshing when you see the results.

[@patriciag5479]

I am preparing to sell my house and move into one that we're building and these decluttering videos are so helpful - you're definitely giving me great ideas for how to organize the new house, too. We are overwhelmed with STUFF. Thank you.

[@elenachu7832]

You make so much sense!!! I have a very bad habit of keeping things. So happy I found you!! I'll be watching a lot!!! :)

[@aangel310]

Oh my husbamd bought me an acrylic set for my makeup off Amazon with drawers and I've used it for weeks and my makeup still looks amazing! I put all my makeup I used every day and we'll I put all the rest in pretty hat boxes ;) in my other bathroom. but daily makeup had been so nice it's the best thing I've gotten for my makeup

[@cjay233]

This is so me w/ the lotions, sprays. Smelled good in the store, not so much now. But, felt I had to hang on to it. Same with makeup. On another note, I saw on a website, someone taped wrapping paper to one side of dollar tree poster board, took out the shelves in the med cabinet and put the 'backsplash' at the back before putting shelves back in. I did it. It looks great. Might work for you. TFS

[@CatJackon]

I just purged two bathrooms too. Lotions expires in a year, especially in a bathroom. Great job!

[@Rexinathatsme]

Hi:) Love your videos! You are so much fun to watch with your sparkly personality and cool systems! I feel you. Alot! I am a "lazy" minimalist too.. I don't know what came first: lazyness or beeing a minimalist, but it goes hand in hand. You will have more free time when owning less stuff, and more time to do what matters in life. Before going minimal in makeup and clothes I didn't know how to dress or how to put makeup on, because I felt overwhelmed. Now I just put on the first ting I see (every piece of clothing goes together) and throw on my makeup in the morning (I only have one ting of each and buy new when empty) and all my makeup fits in one tiny drawer along with my vitamins. So easy!! And yes: I'm now 10 times as productive and get things done because I don't waste time on the small things. Keep up the good work! I love to hear how this new lifestyle treats you;)

[@teresadewolfe2443]

Love your videos. Purged my kitchen and got rid of 30 things. next is my bathroom. You inspire me.

[@DA-ju3bm]

I put all my vitamins in quart freezer bags. I label them on the top of the bag with name and expiration date. They maximize the space in a rectangle storage bin and its neat and tidy. I use a pill case daily and fill it up from the storage bags when needed.

[@pamdleve]

I so can relate to you. Good to know that I'm not the only one with the same issues

[@kazhanlon]

I just love how honest you are. I'm trying to have less stuff this year too so will see how that goes. Hope you are all feeling good 😘

[@jrupton1]

I've kept my makeup in the bathroom for years without any problems. It's fine!

[@GreenMommaLana]

That was a great point, "would I buy this again?" I'm gonna use that as I continue to ruthlessly go thru our clutter

[@kariwagner2769]

This came at the perfect time! Just started working on my bathroom. And what you say about wasting is exactly how i feel. And why my bathroom is 3/4 full of things i don't use. Thanks for inspiring me to get rid of it!

[@heidifris4880]

It is amazing how good you feel when all the crap is gone! So much easier to keep in line too. I'm learning.

[@michelleadams6220]

what an encouraging video!! thanks so much for the motivation to purge the bathroom chaos! I donate my some - what used lotions, polishes and such to women shelters.

[@kristenperez4410]

I love the acrylic organizers I have. I hate makeup bags. I threw out so much vitamins. I just have one small container now. Very functional now. Great tips for purge. I hoard the bath and body Works. I can't use it all quick enough. I let a few go. It is a process.

[@NataSerhiienko]

You are so amazing! Thank you for being so realistic and so natural! Love you and keep watching your videos for three days already! I am so inspired!

[@LiveLaughLove6487]

I have been so excited to see this! I started purging the other day, starting with mine and my husbands office. I chose to go with doing a 24 item toss (my hubby and i got married on the 24th of June...) and I am loving seeing my donation box fill up!

[@catherineshaklee76]

Any time I need to get motivated to declutterr I watch one of your videos and you never disappoint! I feel so inspired now! Thank you Cass!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kritikarao5836]

I keep my make up in a box under the sink and it's absolutely fine. I love your tray system, except mine is in a box. You totally rock. Love your videos. Hope ur kids are doing better.

[@chasswhipps]

thank you. you really listen to your readers. thank you

[@ravenstormchild6491]

I am so happy that I minimized my makeup. Norwex Naturally Timeless for face creams, Boom trio for makeup and one mascara and one eyeliner. Done. Having fewer choices has been life changing.

[@anitatate9852]

Every time I purge an area, I feel like I've lost weight, and the house is heaving a sigh of relief too...I just procrastinate until I see a motivational video like this and it makes me want to organize another space in my house. So thanks! I'm ready to tackle one of my small baths. TFS

[@joannporter3882]

I have Hashimoto Thyroiditis as well. It's a pain in the butt. I really need to purge too....when I find the energy. Great video. I can't wait to see more.

[@deuxoxo]

You're a natural 💕 you're awesome 💕 really wish your book is available where I'm at 💕 keep the good vibes flowing 💕 more power to you💟

[@Butterfly-lc9iy]

Hey Cas! You're sooooo crazy! In such a good way!You make my spirits happy! I've always put my makeup in the bathroom too. I have such small living space. I'm enjoying the decluttering this month. I've collected to much stuff over the years and have what you call somewhat of a separation anxiety thingy going on . Not wanting to let go of things. You inspired me all the time and I want to thank you for it.

[@karenlebeter4196]

I will be using your arguments with yourself when I clean out my bathroom. Thanks for the lines I will use to get myself to toss all the crap. My old house was burglarized 1 1/2yrs ago and I am still dealing. Makes it hard to throw out stuff. This house is much smaller, but I only worry about my end. My Millenial son has master bedroom & bath that I never enter. I have a smaller bedroom and bath. In between is a long living & dining room, tiny kitchen and laundry area. Son thinks my new hobby is rearranging kitchen cabinets. Working on it.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

I have Hashimotos too. I learned a long time ago to use one of those pills organizers otherwise I forgot what I took when etc.. I just have to remember to refill it every Sunday! I take a ton of vitamins.

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

The good thing about your makeup basket is you can grab the whole basket set it on the counter, use it, then put it back.

[@momof2momof2]

Good job! I did this with my cosmetics a few months ago and its so freeing and has stayed that way :)

[@djhm42280]

I just decluttered my one and ONLY bathroom in my house. It was hard to part with some stuff knowing I just "might" need it someday, but I remind myself that I share the space with 4 other people. I understand how it is with the vitamins, I have celiac and the struggle for body nourishment is real. I like your idea using the small acrylic trays segregating the makeup items. I should try that. I might actually use it them if I see it there, instead of stuffed away in a makeup bag. Thanks you for the helpful video! have a great day😊!

[@angelaconstanty]

Love all of your decluttering videos! Keep them coming!

[@kclark3244]

i love the "would i buy this again" motto!

[@maureencairney9549]

Can't wait to get under my bathroom vanity, that looked like fun with an outcome, love it..

[@tracycook5445]

I'm in the case in my one bed flat. I have no storage in bathroom. So have have some suction shelves. I close toilet,seat before I flush. I've not been sick from toothbrush. Go girl you're great. I've purged 20 black bin bags in last three weeks it's great feeling

[@Ddreany]

Your bedroom is beautiful! Wish mine were this cozy looking.

[@unboundbytiffany]

I love it, I'm watching your HGTV show on my TV with my super cleaning little boy (he's only 2 and insists on helping me clean. No clue where he got it from, but boy I'm grateful for it! Haha) while your videos popped up on my phone. Love it! Double Cas!

[@PaigeBorda]

So I just had to come back to this video and thank you for the tips. I love all your videos, but what you said about expensive makeup really hit home. I have purged and organized my home several times in the past couple years but would never touch my (enormous) makeup collection. Before I had kids, I was obsessed with makeup and had a HUGE stash. I had invested so much time & money into this that it was hard to let go. But after stewing on your comments in this video for a few weeks, I finally went though and purged yesterday. A bunch of it went in the trash, but I had a TON of powder eyeshadows and blushes, bronzers, etc that could be sanitized. So I literally took about 40 pounds (!!) of makeup out and posted it on my local garage sale site for free, and now it's gone. What I kept would fit in a shoebox and it feels great! So thank you!

[@eileen-ezlivinglearning9415]

Good reminder to clear out that bathroom. I agree hard to throw away stuff you think is expensive.

[@Clutterbug]

I am so happy to say that it is actually STAYING clean this time!

[@jodihanneman5202]

I purged a bunch of Bath and Body Works last year. I too felt it was wasteful, so I put mine into 3 or 4 sacks and brought it to work to see if other people I worked with and I was surprised that it went so fast!! Other fragrances that people use (and smell good on them) loved my purge.

[@lauraanaya6422]

i purged my bathroom and makeup yesterday too feels so good

[@StefTX]

I love you and your videos! They are very inspiring and inspirational and you are motivating me to purge some spaces in my house. This weekend I think I will tackle the downstairs bathroom (the one people use when they come over). I'm pretty sure 50% of the stuff in there needs to go. Keep these videos coming!

[@kathleenhilde9657]

Thank you thank you. I so need to do this. I can't get rid of anything! So happy for you!

[@mariaa4619]

I find that I feel better wearing a little makeup, but I don't *love* makeup, so as a busy mom who needs to get ready super quick, I bought a large makeup bag, and I put everything in there - my everyday makeup, my deodorant, hair straightener, a toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush and dry shampoo, tweezers, etc and have that as my "go bag" which I can bring downstairs with me so I can get ready while the children eat breakfast or play. Since I have all the important stuff in this one bag, I realized I could just get rid of everything else because I was literally never using it. It was so freeing!

[@Janelegant]

Life altering moment occurred when you said people feel guilty when they throw things away; however, the money was already spent and wasted...the mistake was already made. Thank you for this!

[@amberpawlak854]

I started using those old body sprays as "bathroom" sprays! They work better than Lysol or Febreeze and smell so much better. Plus a great way to use up the stuff that people give you as Christmas gifts that you'll never use otherwise!

[@swannee22]

Grrrreat job!!!! Grrrreat tips! I too have a very small bathroom sans med cabinet and under counter drawers. I do have an over the toilet tall shelf with 3 shelves and a tall vertical very narrow shelf thing with 10 baskets. I need some more ideas for the counter as it is small also and can't hold very big acrylic or plastic baskets or dividers. I do have a tiny vertical 3 drawer storage unit. I guess I need to purge big time because everything still looks so messy! When i put stuff away i dont remember where its at, so I'm still rummaging around. Oh, I forgot, in the shower there's a thing with a wide shelf that hangs off the shower arm to hold shampoo, etc.
