I'm a terminal pack rat. One of those people who is always buying stuff and then forgetting where I put it. Recently, I bought a 3 drawer rolling cart at KMart for $10. I use it for all my bought ahead health and beauty items. It's a small cart but you would be surprised how much it can hold. It's full of vitamins, bandages, cosmetics, skin care, tape, antacids, and all kinds of creams, lotions, and potions.
As I go through beauty and health supplies I already own, I put them in the cart. It's great to have stuff that "I actually know where it is". Soon I will be starting a lingerie cart. One drawer for panties, one for socks, and another for night gowns. So they don't get lost in the dresser.

That is a wonderful idea! I think I need to do that, as I've been just throwing my excess items in the linen closet and they're hard to find. Thanks for sharing and God bless you!
This would be a great way to store all of your cosmetics. They are light weight and free up the storage in the built in cabinets for the heavy items like extra shampoo bottles.
I keep my barrettes in them. Beaded, native american barrettes don't need to be jumbled together in a messy drawer. Someone spent a lot of time beading and these need to be treated with care and respect.
I buy alot of beauty items on sale with coupons, but I put mine in small clear stacking"shoe"tubs($1.00 at big lots), label them(make with pretty paper and clear shipping tape), and store under sink...one less thing to kick or dust! I am a clutter bug too! but its no good to stock up, if you cant find it! The cart would be great for daily used stuff, you know, the stuff on the counter ;-)
I did this in the kitchen, in my grandson's bedroom, and in my closet. Yet, if it's out of sight, it's out of mind. It would have to be clear for us to remember to "shop" there when we need something it stores.
I buy a lot of health items too like most people. The important organizing and storage trick is to toss expired and contaminated items on a regular basis.
