hi everyone, i'm alejandra from alejandra.tvand in this video i'm going to share with you how i'm organizing the bathroom, so ican find what i'm looking for, it stays nice and organized and i'm just very efficientwhen i get ready in the morning. but first, if this is your first time watchingany of my videos and you're just starting your journey to getting organized, there'sa link below to help you get started for free. all right, so right here is the bathroom thated and i share, and there's one sink, there's some countertop, and it's pretty basic. what we do is we keep the things we use ona daily basis, daily or every other day ... if it's frequently used it's kept out withinreach.
so things you use often, you want to makethem nice and accessible so you're not fishing through trying to find what you're lookingfor, just a nice easy grab. so, if you see it out right here, it's useddaily or every other day. and the biggest thing here is there's smallthings and then there's big things. so if it's small, contain it. so it's nor floating around and it's not just,i guess floating around is the right word. if it's big, it just gets lined up, stackedup, it's on its own. so, all the small things are right here, andi use this nice clear three drawer organizer. i like that it's clear so i can see insidewithout having to open the drawer to see what's
inside. and each drawer is it's own category, so thisis like dental stuff. this is mojo stuff, and then this is grooming. and what you can do is, you can actually,you can put a label right here if you don't have clear drawers, so then you know whatthe category is, but i don't have my label maker, and the drawers are clear, so it'sgreat as is. now, what i did at the bottom, was i puttieddown the drawer organizer so it's not going to shift around. it's just nice and puttied down, and the puttyi use, i'll show you what it is.
it's this stuff right here. it's called museum putty and it works reallywell, it doesn't damage surfaces and it just really holds things in place. all right, i will put a link to this below,if you're wondering more about this. so the big things right here that we use everyday are in this tray, so this tray was already here. it works great because whenever you cleanthe counter, instead of having to move every single thing, you just pick up the tray, movethe whole tray and everything moves at once. this is, where we're living right now is arental, so this is not our bathroom, so it's
not my stuff, but the tray works well, soi just have the things, the big things right there. and then, there's some more big things, lotion,spray, mojo's dental wipes. then these two bags right here, i have a bunchof small cosmetic samples, like hotel samples and stuff that i'm using right now, so i keepthem out as a reminder to use them, because i find that if i can see things i rememberto use them because i'm so visual. so, keep those in plain sight. all right, so over here is our toothbrushand toothbrush holder. and what's great about this, is i have thiscord organizer on the cord, so the excess
cord doesn't just dangle and it's near thewater, it's kind of just away into this cord organizer that you just open up just likethis and it just wraps around this wheel and then you close it, and it's like this nicedonut that just hangs out right there. it's so awesome. so, a great habit to get into for keepingup and cleaning and keeping up with the organization in your bathroom is to do a little bit ata time before you go to bed. spend five minutes making this space betterthan it is. so, putting cosmetics away, putting anythingthat out, if there's clothes on the floor, taking the clothes putting them in the laundryroom or wherever they belong, but just doing
a little bit at a time. a good motto is leave it better than you foundit. kind of like nature. do the same thing with the spaces in yourhouse. before you go to bed, in your bathroom, howcan i leave it better than i found it? and maybe you just take one thing. if you don't want to do your five minutes,or you don't feel like doing your five minutes, just do one thing. just leave it better than you found it.
it's a great habit to get into. okay, so on the shelf down here, is thingswe don't use as often. so weekly, monthly, seasonally. and so what you want to do is keep thingsyou don't use as often lower or higher, just not within reach. just save the stuff within reach, like theprime real estate for the everyday stuff. all right, so, what i'm doing is i'm usingall of my travel bags right now, because we're in transition, as organizers. so this has all of my small hair stuff inthe big one.
makeup goes in the medium sized one. and then, long makeup stuff, like brushes,mascara. if it's long and it's makeup, it goes insidethis bag right here. and then in the back of the shelf, so theback of the shelf has even less frequently used items, like monthly stuff and seasonalstuff, and just stuff that we're not using weekly. this is more like weekly, back there is monthly. and again, because these things are all small,they get contained inside of an organizer, and because those things are big, they justget stacked and lined up next to each other
back there. all right, and so ed's cosmetic bag is righthere. his side, my side. and then on this side, there's these threebaskets that were already here when we temporarily moved into this space, and they work greatfor this size shelf. so right here, i just have all of my big hairstuff, so it's the blow dryer, the flat iron, the brushes and stuff, and then right here,i just have all of, like, bulk back up stuff that goes ... it's like bulk back up of stuffthat stays on top of the counter. yeah, that's pretty much what it is.
and then, in this one right here, this has,let's see, there's feminine care, there's stuff for mojo, and then there's some smallmedications and more back up stuff, but smaller stuff. this is more like the big back up stuff, andthis more like the small back up stuff. and then, at the very end of the shelf iscleaning supplies, and then behind these baskets, because these baskets are, the shelf is deeperthan the baskets, so there's space behind it, i just have rolls of toilet paper thatjust get kept back there. all right, and that's it. and then in the shower, i also wanted to sayin the shower, only keep the things that you
use on a daily basis. so instead of having five shampoos, just haveone shampoo. when you finish the shampoo, recycle the bottle,bring in the next shampoo, but don't have five of something open at a time because thenthe shower just gets cluttered and makes it hard to clean. it makes it hard to squeegee and stuff. so just have one of everything open. and when you're organizing your bathroom,i think the bathroom is such a fun place to organize, because it's a small space.
you get to see progress fast, just have funwith it. ask yourself questions. what do you use daily? if you use it daily, keep it accessible. what do you use weekly or monthly? put that in a lower shelf or in a cabinetor in a drawer or something. just have fun. make your systems work for you. if you set up a system and you find that it'sstill not working, or it's difficult to access,
it can always be tweaked down the road. these are not permanent systems, so just havefun. find what works, and just enjoy yourself whileyou do it. that's one of the most important things, isjust have fun while you do it. bring your best self and see what kind ofsystems you can create. thanks for watching. if you're looking for more support on yourjourney to getting organized, there's tools and training on my website, alejandra.tv. i'm grateful you're here, and i look forwardto seeing you next time.
take care. bye bye.
