Keep Bathroom Clutter in Check

By Jessica Hoelzel

Are you seduced by personal care products? The promise to clear, hydrate, firm, shine, volumize, straighten, curl or what have you? We all succumb to the marketing of these products, and sometimes you do have to buy it to try it. But if a product (or products – multiplied) doesn’t work out, where does that leave you? With one more bottle or tube of something you won’t use, cluttering up your bathroom space.

I’ve seen showers that you cannot step into without creating an avalanche of bottles…The clutter is burdensome on us, and the excess consumption is burdensome on the environment. What I recommend is to keep things simple.

Here are three ways to make that happen:

1. Choose products that offer a small trial size. They won’t take up as much space, and if they don’t work for you, you’re not out much money. Their waste has less of an environmental impact too.

2. Use up what you have before you start using another. Make use of every last drop of that shampoo,
before you bring the next bottle into your shower. Simple.

3. Choose products that have multiple uses. Try Dr. Bronners multiple-use soap. Body wash, shampoo,
laundry detergent, and more – all in one (18 uses, in fact).

The bathroom is a place where you spend time at the beginning and end of your day. Make it neat and streamline, and you’ll feel unburdened and productive before you even leave the house. And at ease before you slip into bed at night…Nice for you and nice for our world.
