Don’t forget your Zone this week

Feb 22 2010

Did you think you had gotten off the hook for the Zone Challenge last week? Nope! We’re right back at it this week in Zone 3 (bathrooms and bedrooms). This week I want you to work on cleaning up all those hair products and old makeup that have accumulated in your bathroom. Did you know that makeup is pretty much a breeding ground for bacteria? It’s very important to keep brushes and accessories clean. In fact, you’re supposed to replace your mascara every 3 months to avoid potentially hazardous eye infections. Keeping that in mind, I decided it was time to get into the cabinets and drawers in my bathroom and see what needed to be done. Let’s just say I had about 4 too many mascaras and more empty bottles of hair product than I’m willing to admit! I went through every last bottle and tube in that bathroom and threw away what was old, wiped off bottles that had gotten sticky or dirty, cleaned brushes, and neatly put everything back (I got some small boxes and baskets to organize everything). If you’re anything like me, you’re probably holding onto some makeup that you haven’t used in ages—I’m surprised I didn’t find some bright blue eye shadow circa 1985. Let it go, Mama! You’ll feel better and your bathroom will look great.

Talk About It!
