- Hi guys.
Welcome back to my channel.
In today's video I'm going to be
cleaning and organizing our en suite bathroom.
Now this is a very small bathroom with limited storage
and we've just let the products
build up so much in that room.
Both Matt and I love products,
but we really need to minimalize our things now.
So I'm gonna go through it all today and I would encourage
you guys to get involved as well.
Now that it's back to school,
I really want to clean and organize my entire home,
so I'm going to make a series of organizational
and cleaning videos and each week I would love for you guys
to go ahead and clean with me.
So if I clean my en suite bathroom,
maybe you have a small bathroom at home
that you been meaning to sort out and you can clean it as well,
send in your before and after photos
and the really good ones I'm going to share
in my next organizational video.
So I will put my email address in the description down
below, just email in your photos
and hopefully it'll motivate both of us to keep this going.
And I'm going to organize the bathroom today
in the Marie Kondo way of organizing,
which if you haven't read her book,
she basically goes through all of her things
and just thinks if it sparks joy or if it's useful.
And if an item or product doesn't spark joy
or isn't useful she gets rid of it.
So that is what I'm going to do today.
I'm gonna try and be really ruthless.
And I also have a few clever storage ideas
that I want to share with you as well.
So without further ado, let's do this.
So this is our little en suite,
I told you it was very small.
So in here, the shelves in the shower aren't too bad.
There are just a few products over there.
It's these shelves that are a little bit out of control.
We just have so much on show.
And I did buy this with good intentions,
but I haven't really used it to its full potential.
Matt has loads of products, this is his shelf.
And then loads of aftershaves up here.
Then I have my makeup bag, left in there from this morning.
Just random products everywhere.
And in here I really want to organize it a bit better.
'Cause I got some cleaning products and I got some SPF
and I got things that I don't actually need to be available
all the time so if I can find somewhere else to put
some of this stuff that would be good.
And then over here, again, it's just so messy,
I bought this for jewelry, but I probably don't need
to keep my jewelry in here.
There's also some makeup that I can't even remember
the last time I used.
More makeup and then a few more products as well.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is take every single
product, put it on my bed and just go through what I want
to keep and what I want to throw.
(upbeat music)
So this is everything laid out on our bed.
Cleaning products, beauty products, just so many products.
I can't actually believe that all of this was in there.
So now that all the shelves are clear and the sink is clear,
I'm going to give it all a good clean
before I sort through all of this stuff.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so it may not look like it but I had a good sort out
of things I want to keep and things I want to throw.
All of this here is rubbish.
All of this is going.
All of the cleaning products I don't actually need up here.
I should just bring up the ones that I need when I clean,
rather than have them all on the bathroom floor.
All of these products here are ones that I do want
to keep but I don't actually need on a daily basis.
Lots of these are just backup products
where I got like two for one or things like that,
so I do want to keep all of these
but I don't need them on our shelves.
This is to be put somewhere else.
There is also some medicine to go elsewhere.
All of these products over here are ones that Matt
wants to keep so they're all staying.
These are all the products that I use day to day,
all of this is the skincare I need everyday.
Dry shampoo and I have decanted all of my makeup
from my makeup bag into one of these clear things here.
I don't actually need all my makeup in a bag,
I only need that when we go away.
So while we're at home I think it's really nice
that I can easily see everything and reach for it.
Yeah and then this will make you laugh.
This is how much toothpaste I had in our en suite.
How many is that?
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
And some floss and backup toothbrush heads.
And all of this is teeth whitening stuff for when I whiten
my teeth, this is the tray.
But I really don't need all of this out at once,
so I need to find a place for this.
And this is how many razors I had.
So again, I only really need one out,
and store the rest of them.
So now I wanna put everything back but in an organized way.
So I'm gonna put it back in baskets, this one is from IKEA,
I also have some from Poundland, which I really like.
And they actually fit perfectly in this,
under the sink drawer.
So I can put one on either side there.
And then a really cool thing that I found on Amazon
is this little tray, it doesn't look like much
but it is a turntable.
So one of the problems with these shelves is that
when I put stuff on them, the stuff at the back
I tend to use less because I can't reach it,
but on these turntables we can just turn
and get to the products that we want to use.
So this is Matt's shelf all sorted out.
I put all of his skincare on this turntable so he can turn
it around and then I have this little pot for his razors,
scissors, samples, the stuff like that.
So already, that shelf is looking so much more organized.
So I'm now going to add my skincare to this turntable,
and as you can see I put my makeup tray there.
And then I also wanted to show you this storage here,
which I found on Amazon, it just goes on the back
of your door, it's gray with little white polka dots
and there are four really big places to store products
that I'm not using all of the time.
This is a great place to keep some things because no one
ever sees the back of the door except for me and Matt,
and we are so short on storage in here
that this should help a lot.
Alright, so I've put everything back now
and I will now show you the after.
You may also notice that it's nighttime now,
because I finished this up at night.
So as I said this is all my makeup in this perspecks thing,
which I got on Amazon.
This is my skincare turntable,
which I'm really loving already.
I'll link everything down below.
I did get most of it on Amazon.
This is Matt's shelf with his turntable
and his razors and bits like that.
And then this is his shelf with his aftershaves,
so it's looking a lot more organized.
Then over here under the sink, it has two little baskets,
I've actually put our toothbrushes and toothpaste
under the counter because I think it's nice to keep
the sink empty if we can.
So I got that there and my deodorant.
Then I've managed to put two of our big products under here.
Then I got like some washcloths, feminine products,
fake tan and stuff, mirror, all under the sink.
And it's all looking so much more organized.
This new storage here I got these two filled up
with backup products like Elemis products and extra fake tan
and dry shampoo and stuff that I'll need.
In this one I have mostly razors for both of us
and also our millions of toothpaste.
And then in this one is all of our teeth whitening products,
so that has a place there.
Then over here by the window, it is looking so much clearer,
all I have now are our cotton buds in this little thing
that I got from Trymark, I thought it was really cute.
Or it was Primemark or Poundland, I'm not really sure.
And then I thought I'd put this little plant
from IKEA there, it is fake,
I just thought it added something to the room.
And then our shower hasn't changed loads,
its just got a few products out on the shelf there.
Right, so that's it for this video,
I really hoped you liked my small bathroom storage
ideas and clear out.
Let me know what you think in the comments below.
And I challenge you guys to do the same
to your small bathroom and I'll see you in my next one.
Bye guys.
