Cosmetics have a finite shelf-life. Bacteria can grow from introducing applicators from the skin back into the container. Pigments and oils can separate and become rancid, and the consistency and quality can can diminish with time. It is better to toss that last bit of expensive lipstick than to get a skin rash from bacteria on its tip. Sounds pretty yucky right? Follow a few of the “cleaning tips” at the bottom of the list to keep your make-up items bacteria-free, fresh and beautiful!

I use simple drawstring bags to keep my seasonal bed linens dust-free and organized in my linen closet. Use my how-to instructions to sew your own for about $6 each! This week I have been organizing my linen closet. My problem was containment. Stacks of linens would slide sidboard, hand towels would get lost in the pile, and stock pile items mixed in with each other making it hard to know how much of anything I had. So, I followed the steps I outlined in my Monday closet organizing post, and set to work devising an organizing system for the items that “live” in my hallway closet. It is Day 10 of the Spring Cleaning Party at Simple Mom, and what a party it has been. Thank you so much to my readers for making this a fabulous experience. And a thank you to Tsh at Simple Mom and Mandi at Organizing Your Way for hosting. This ends my week-long Easy Feng Shui Fixes For Your Home series.
