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!

It’s all good now and we are so close to completing the 30 day challenge. Way to go everyone!!! This has been great. Got it all done. The only challenge I didn’t do was the kid’s toys one because I don’t have kids at home. So I clean something else instead. Glad I participated in this 30 day challenge!
This one will take a few days. wow we keep so much
Did this on the “bathroom day”. So done all tasks so far. (22-28 done).
Did the make-up last week. Tossed the old, bought some new. All tidy and organized so I can see exactly what I’ve got. 🙂
5 minutes on the hair accessories wasn’t enough, but it’s a start. I’ll put in another few minutes later today.
Done!
This task was SO helpful, and necessary!! I have completed ALL 28 days, and kinda sad that we’re almost to the end. This is developing into a nice routine! 🙂
I have finished 22-28.
I did this when we did the bathroom but tossed some nail polish for today.
Soooooo done. Thanks for the push.
I’ve been WAITING for this one! My jewelry is in the same spot as my makeup, so I took the opportunity to go through and purge from there, too. Aahh, that feels SO much better.
all done!
corrected my address. It’s been wrong all month!
FYI: completed #1-28!
I did a big overhaul of my grooming supplies about a ago because I wanted to switch to safer products, I also got rid of a few more things during the challenge. I looked everything over again today to be sure I got it all, and did a little organizing at the same time. Nice.
Done! I cleaned out my purse yesterday when I bought a new summer weight one. Then this morning I did the bathroom drawers.
Wow – this took longer than 5 min for me. Because my bathroom is so tiny, I only have a few ‘daily’ things in there. So in the bedroom closet I have hair dryer and those things, then in spare bedroom I have things not used much in a drawer…but I’m done!
Done….i also had a lot of old things that got thrown away.
I had a lot of old stuff. Done.
Actually did this one last weekend! Day 28 done!!!
So many old icky cosmetics! Gone now! Yay!
