bathrooms collect a lot of stuff if you ve ever decluttered or reorganised your bathroom you d be surprised at how much you ve accumulated we ve put together a couple of questions that you can continuously ask yourself as you go along to help determine if an item needs to stay or go remember if you have to think about your answer then chances are you don t need it do i use this you shouldn t really have to think long about this you either use it or you don t take note that the question is not will i possibly use this one day is this product still good almost all beauty products have expiry dates most products will last around 6 18 months from the date that you open them if anything about the product is off then it means it s probably gone wrong and you need to get rid of it is this item extra it s time for the questions within the questions how many bottles of shampoo do you really need when last did you use that highlighter kit take a look at what you need and use on a regular if not daily basis and choose what needs to stay and what can go would i buy this today ask yourself if you still love the item and if you would still buy it again today this question is specifically useful you re looking at your bathroom decor items is it adding beauty or function to the space or is it just adding to the clutter for beauty products think about whether or not you like the colours on you does it work for your skin type is it as effective as you thought it would be etc if the answer is no it is time for it to go does this help to make my life easier or better there may be some items that you don t really need but you do use regularly and they help to simplify things or give you pleasure in life you can definitely splurge on some items just make sure they are useful to you or provide you with joy can the space that this item takes up be reduced for items that you re going to keep then look for ways to reduce its footprint can the packaging be removed for more condensed storage do you have multiple bottles of the same product that can be combined can you transfer the item to a smaller container is there more appropriate storage that would make it easier to store and or access
