Best Books for Pastors in 2023 : 9Marks

Most people apply their makeup in the bathroom so keeping everyday products in it is acceptable, especially if it’s more convenient and they’re stored properly. So, stick products, including makeup brushes, in a bag or a drawer when you’re done using them. Additionally, always close the toilet bowl lid before flushing it to contain germs. Leave out the things that you only wear occasionally, like bold lipsticks, and organize them elsewhere, such as in a makeup vanity. Keeping the bath and hand towels you use and wash frequently in the bathroom is totally fine, but avoid storing any extra linens that you’re reserving for guests or to display during the holidays.

There’s a reason that museums must follow strict standards for temperature and moisture levels in the air to preserve fragile pieces, after all. For example, antique wood will warp and artwork will begin to yellow. Show off your sentimental or valuable things anywhere else in your home that’s climate-controlled so they last for generations to come. Thanks to their tight quarters and poor ventilation, bathrooms are quick to harbor heat and humidity.

You’ll also notice that bottles of nail polish will start to separate quicker if left in the bathroom as opposed to a drier area of the house. Instead, keep your at-home mani-pedi supplies in the linen closet and corral perfume bottles onto a tray and place it on a shelf in the closet or on top of your dresser. Because they’re also commonly made with metal, electronics shouldn’t be stored in the bathroom—but that’s not the only reason. If they come in contact with water, they can short-circuit and be permanently broken. If you must keep some things in the bathroom, such as an electric toothbrush or Bluetooth speaker, opt for waterproof versions. Tuck away hair tools in the linen closet and get creative with organizing all other electronics in the living room or office.
