Why Your Bathroom Always Feels CLUTTERED (how to FIX it)

What do you have the hardest time letting go? Why?

My eyeshadow palettes!! I only wear eyeshadow like once every few months, but when I do, I like to go all out and do really drag-y makeup. I have probably around 5 palettes with a really wide range of shades, but some of them are sooo old and/or never had the colour payoff I was looking for. I’ve been putting off throwing them out bc I know it’s not worth it for me to buy more, but at this point it’s a biohazard 🤢 they gotta go!!

Brand new lip products that didn't work for me (my mouth area is so weirdly sensitive!) I hate to toss them but who wants a "used" lip product?! 😅

@@deeeno6867 I have trouble with this too. I sort of regret purchasing my last palettes in October 2021, because they are not colors I reach for since working 9-5. There were some creamier glitters in there, which have probably not kept well. Heck, years back we'd get those large palettes with so many duds (ex. costalscents). I have to revisit all of it too!!

@@staceyw2599 This is a tough one, have you considered just swabbing what you need to test new products instead of using it directly (product to lips)? I hope I am making sense, but if you only take what you need from a new product to test it before making contact, you might feel less weird about passing it on to a friend.

@AlexaLikes See?? This is why I subscribed!! Because you're way smarter than I am!!! Lol. Duh! - no it never crossed my mind to just swab it!! What a great idea....thank you!!!

My first declutter of the year was the bathroom counter and my everyday makeup drawer which took 8 hours. I did 9000 steps between my bathroom and the office just putting stuff away and only putting ONE type of product in use - ie one primer, one eyeliner, one blush. I used to use my counter for skincare, but I ended up clearing the whole counter off except for my "lazy susan" style rotating shelf for my skincare. Having fewer options for each product category has helped me so much in feeling less overwhelmed with what I have and actually finishing things up! I threw out a ton of stuff as well which felt super satisfying. Honestly, the clean counter has done wonders for my mental health!

Holy moly, 8 hours! Working the day shift or the night shift? The number of steps has me 😱. Having fewer options is the best for me too, otherwise I slack off in my skincare routine. I have 2 everyday makeup containers with 1 of each thing and it makes getting ready very efficient and worth it. The time it saves adds up ❤️ I’m glad your declutter is going well!

@@AlexaLikes I started around 1pm and ended at night! It was intense! Yes, getting ready is so much more pleasant. More straightforward and now I feel like I''m actually moving through things like primers and foundations. Eyeshadows not as much, but definitely more face products.

I just found your channel and it’s just what I need!! My partner and I have been living with 2 other roommates and 3 cats in a small 3 bedroom duplex and we DO NOT have space for all our shit. In April we’re gonna be getting a place for just the two of us (plus our cats), which means we might end up loosing even more storage space. It’s way past time for a downsize!!! Immediately subbing and back-watching allll your content for inspo!! 🌞

That’s so exciting about your new place, I can relate to the need for a fresh start! I'm downsizing and hoping it gives me more flexibility to move into a different chapter in life. 😊
