Subcategory - Bathroom Creams and Gadgets

There is often a space under the basin that is used for storage space. Ours has three drawers, and one large area that includes access to the drain pipe. Aside from storing soap next to the pipe, the drawers have never been efficiently used. Additionally, it was constantly rearranged by the child 'getting into things'. There is only a small area of the basin where storage surface is available.
The heap, which was less than I thought it was going to be.
Creams and applications I inherited from mum, three First Aid Kits, random make-up (not all, just some), electronic personal care equipments, single-use bottles from hotels and sample packs from mlm parties, and unused razors, all had a place somewhere on the two shelves, stacked on top of each other. Along with two Sylvanian Family houses, the residents and contents I believe (I hope!!) are in the shed somewhere.

Unused shampoo bottles and feral soaps were disposed of by husband during our trip away 👍 He had also gathered hair pins and bands in one heap into the shelf 👎

There weren't much emotional processing for the tidying and releasing process, but rather acknowledging of getting frustrated at E for climbing onto the kitchen bench, getting into the creams, poking at the bottles, bringing stuffed animals to be hair brushed. (Nappy failing and pee leaking that had to be cleaned up and thanking it didn't get onto the STUFF).
Categories. Electronics, make-up, hygiene liquids, hair products, accessories.
No please don't climb onto the bench until everything is off... oh there's space available now? Fine. Just stop touching the stuff! Last few items she started to hand them to me and I was still paranoid she was going to open it or throw it or both.

The sample sachets I put where the night routine oils are kept so I see them and use them in conjunction with the other products and get used.

The total of discard products (!!!) minus actual rubbish like old hair-ties.
The bottom of the shelves are visible!
The biggest take-away from the process was the mindfulness during the sorting. To buy only items that will be used might be applicable in other instances, except there's an element of compatibility also with body care.
