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 have today ensured that all my make-up, my hair stuff and my jewellery is now within an area each. Again, I am stuggling to accept this is supposed to be “5 minutes” of sorting to the benefit of creating momentum and not something to fuss over all day, so I’m letting it go both physically and from my head….
Remember the 5-minute tasks are quick-and-dirty, superficial ones. 🙂
Maybe I’m too late for the activity. However, I’m starting to follow this 30 days instruction. It helps me a lot.
For today (day 28) I’ve organized my closet, desk and corner shelf in my bedroom. Today it’s not so hard, though.
Done. This one was great.

Thought I had posted on this one… this one was easy. I don’t have much grooming supplies but what I do have I use depending on the style I want to have for the day. 🙂
This is one area I always tackle, since I use it daily. All cleared and organized.
Done – cleared the Bathroom bench which is the place that ends up with all the Grooming Stuff…. sorted it cleared it and it looks great

I did a lot of this when we did our cupboards in the bathroom; however, I did find a drawer overflowing with scrunchies. How many scrunchies does one person need? I have them in the give away pile, but am really just building up the nerve to trash them.
Did this, but forgot to send message! Day 28 done!!!
