Okay, so the Cooking to Hook Up authors advocate keeping the area around the bathroom sink free of toiletries (besides maybe soap, a glass, etc.), and I seem to remember the Queer Eye guys giving similar advice to one of their projects.
I initially thought the advice silly; after all, that’s what the bathroom sink counter is there for. However, I gave it some thought and figured that it would, in fact, be easier to clean my sink area without having to move two dozen bottles and tubes out of the way each time. I have to admit that I don’t wipe down my sink as often as I should for that very reason, and the accumulation of cleaved facial hair, shaving gel, and toothpaste splatters can get a tad gross at times.
So, twenty-percent-off coupon in hand, I stopped by Bed Bath & Beyond and bought myself a two-tier glass and chrome bathroom shelf. After some screwing, and some drilling, and some pounding, and a little more screwing; I had myself some shelves.
Having moved all of my toiletries off of my counter and up on to this shelf, I have to admit that this was not an altogether bad idea. I guess I’ll see over time how many of my toiletries migrate back down to the counter. For now, though, I’ve got a gleaming bathroom sink and a tub of Clorox wipes at the ready.
