Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!
In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to express-organize your grooming products and gadgets.
And today’s bonus task will save you time, space and money!
Day 28: Organize Your Grooming Supplies
Step 1: Grab a large bag and take it to your bathroom cabinets, tallboy drawers, dressing table, or wherever you keep your grooming supplies.
Step 2: Quickly empty everything out – make-up, cosmetics, hair products, dryers, straighteners/rollers, hair accessories, nail polish, the works! For guys, we’re talking shaving stuff, hair products, and sundry after-shave lotions/colognes.
Step 3: Now replace only those items that:
- You actually use
- You enjoy using
- Make you look good
- Make you feel good
- Are in good condition
- Don’t take forever to use.
Step 4: Toss everything else into your bag and put it straight into the trash.
And you’re done!
Got an Extra 5 Minutes?
Let’s streamline your personal grooming routine and save space, time and money. Simply decide to stop using time-consuming or excess grooming products and tools – and discard them.
Look for:
- Straighteners or gadgets that take too much time and effort
- Messy make-up that leaves a trail of powder or residue
- Difficult-to-use cosmetics that often need a do-over
- Multiple steps and products invented by cosmetic companies
- Anything that requires constant touch-ups.
A simple routine will make you feel lighter, fresher, and more relaxed, too.
Now how beautiful is that!

I did the tasks every day, too.
Oh yippie! I actually did this a few weeks ago – went through the bathroom closet and threw out quite a bit of stuff.
Also finished yesterday’s assignment – I now have blinds (new in the box), curtain rods, a Christmas tree stand, and a roll of needlework base ready to go to the thrift store.
I did every challenge day through Day 28!
p.s. I commented on days 22-28 as well 😀 and every other day haha
done done done!!!!
Great Did mine and the dog’s too! Woot! Woof! HAHA
YES – I COMMENTED ON DAYS 22-28…yippee skippee – first week I was doing it daily and got in on time for the contest – hope I win 🙂
Done and commented on days 22-28. Done and commented on every day so far 🙂
Got this one done. Thanks 🙂
I have done and commented on days 22 to today, the 28th.
But I have so many jars of bottles of hand-cream and foot lotion given as gifts. Nope, I definitely don’t need them!
Done! and I’ve also done all the rest of the week. Thank you!

Done! 🙂
Done! Nice, simple challenge.
I keep a small stash of cosmetics in my desk at work which I seldom use. Just yesterday I had to go directly from work to a party, so I opened that drawer–and tossed almost everything because it was so old.
I’m happy to have that neglected area done.
I’ll spend another 5+ minutes, when I get home, going through the bathroom vanity.
done and thank you, going thru the old makeup was something i’ve been putting off for a long time!
Complete!
Done! This was an area that definitely needed attention! I didn’t have much in the way of old/unused makeup or hair products, but what I did have was pretty unorganized. It’s much better now, & I’ll actually be able to get to the things I’m looking for without digging. Days 22-28 done & commented on (as are days 1-21)
