Bathroom organisation
Finally, after far too many weeks, I managed to get all the bedrooms and bathrooms tidied and cleaned. Feels so good.
Once I’d done the main cleaning I spent a bit of time tidying up my stuff in the bathroom.
While we’re here how about I quickly show you how everything is organised.
I LOVE these glass organisers – I have one for my jewellery…
and one for (most of) my makeup.
Then I have all my skin care in a pull out cupboard.
My top drawer has more make up, hair brush, hair ties and bands, tissues and my glasses cleaning cloth.
My other drawer holds all my sample products – these are so good for weekends away, and spare body washes.
The main basin area has some of Kevin’s stuff (funny how guys don’t need anywhere near as much room as us girls!), my hair products and a little container with my lush bath bombs, etc. Underneath we each have a basket with spare products and our toiletry bags.
I was thinking of doing a video showing things in more detail – let me know if you’d like me to do that.
Anyone care to share how they organise their bathroom and beauty products?
What do you want to see?
I’m at that place again when I’m not sure what to blog about. I think I just need to always be on holidays then it’s a no brainer :-). Alas I’m very much enjoying being at home again but I find my day to day life does not provide a lot inspiration in terms of blog content. So I thought I’d ask you, my blog readers, what you’d like to see more of.
More organization….
More beauty videos….
More scrapbooking layouts…..
More day in my life posts…..
More recipes…
Something you’ve wanted me to blog but I never have. Please let me know – I’d love your feedback.
A Day in my Life – 2nd May, 2011
Slept into 6.30am, which is amazing for me. Then had cuddles with Bailey and Rosie before getting up. There was a lovely sunrise this morning which made me miss my morning walks with the dogs.
After saying goodbye to Kevin and Amy I made myself another cup of tea.
When I went to check on Christy she was already up and dressed.
I reminded her to have her asthma medication as she is suffering a bit at the moment (due to having a cold).
I then made us some breakfast. Plain toast for Christy and toast with marmalade for me.
At 8.15am Christy (and Shantel) left for school on their bikes.
And I headed upstairs for my first workout on our new exercise bike.
I felt quite at home since it’s exactly the same as the ones at the gym. And boy did it feel good to sweat – it’s been such a long time since I was able to workout. Here I am nice and sweaty :-). The best part about exercising at home…. I could stay in my pj’s :-).
I showered, dressed, made the bed and came downstairs to put my feet up for a bit.
Then it was time to tackle cleaning downstairs. With my feet so swollen and painful and my heel spur acting up I had to take it easy. I did half of downstairs, had a rest, then finished downstairs. Upstairs will have to wait if I want to be able to walk this afternoon.
Ah, gotta love a clean and tidy house.
My favourite falafel salad for lunch – looks a little bland as I was out of tomato but it still tasted yum. I ate it while watching a Trinny & Suzannah in the USA that I had recorded a while back.
One of Bailey’s many snoozes.
After lunch I made some vegetable soup for Amy to have after school.
And went to do a few layouts. I’ve been really struggling with my scrapbooking lately and have been trying to decide whether to continue with it. I think I just need to try and do some each day.
As usual the pups joined me and enjoyed a sleep on the lounge.
I had to go pick up Amy from the bus stop at 3pm. She spent the afternoon packing for a music camp she’s going on tomorrow and Christy went to ride her horse (ie. bike) with Shantel. Just as I was preparing dinner the post lady (who usually comes around lunch time) arrived with a parcel from Crush Cosmetics.
Before dinner went in the oven I made a batch of banana muffins.
Then time for dinner. Tonight was a veggie snitzel, mashed potato and veggies.
Over dinner we had our Monday night family meeting.
While Amy went up to have her bath and I did the washing up….
Kevin played with his new toy that he got at Questacon…
I then painted my nails
and settled down to watch some Dog Whisperer….
with my puppies….
I put Christy to bed at 8pm and read her some stories, then had another cup of tea before heading to bed around 9.30pm. I read a few chapter of the Pioneer Woman romance story (loving it) and had to laugh when I found Bailey like this :-). I think he missed (his bed). Not that he minded he was like this for ages.
