If you have been following the One A Day Challenge, you are half way done for the week.
Today let's take a look at our bathrooms. Choose at least ONE ITEM from the bathroom to get rid of, maybe a bottle of lotion you have had for a long time and do not use.
The bathroom has many different areas so just pick ONE AREA for today if you are doing the optional challenge.
The medicine cabinet, if it is old or expired by more that a year, get rid of it.
Cosmetics if it is open and over a year old get rid of it, did you know that cosmetics harbor bacteria and you can get an infection from old cosmetics.
The linen closet, if it is torn or stained get rid of it. Figure out how many towels you need and stick to that number.
What about that pretty hand towel that you NEVER put out to be used, get rid of it.
Open bottles of lotion or bath gel that you do not use, get rid of it.
Old hair products that you do not use, if they are old you are not using them, get rid of them.
Duplicates of anything, hair brushes, hair dryers, etc... you only need one get rid of the extra.
Weeding things out of our lives and homes can be very overwhelming. I was talking to a friend last night and she was overwhelmed by the big picture. If we look at the picture as a whole it is overwhelming but when we take it one pixel at a time it isn't so bad.
Keep it simple, one step, one pixel, one item at a time and before you know it the canvas of your life will indeed be more simple. You will find that you have more time, energy and money freed up to do with as you wish.
Go ahead and take the step towards simplicity now, you will be happy you did.
