Part of shaping up your life is making sure every room in your house is working in an efficient, organized and healthy way--including your bathroom. Here are Marilu's tips for shaping up your bathroom:

Assess your bathroom. Take notes, define the problem areas, and create a solution and design a plan.

Organize your bathroom cabinet

• Open each product and check smell for rancidity
• Check the expiration dates on medication/products
• “Marry" products if they are the same--combine useable moisturizers or cleansers, for example
• Wipe down each bottle/jar
• Wipe down shelves
• Rearrange according to type/size
• Change your toothbrush monthly

Organize your makeup area

• It's best to have a source of natural light and to keep the bathroom colors light to reflect that natural light
• Get a magnifying mirror if you don't have one
• Create a makeup shoebox or drawer
• Throw out everything that has expired:
  • Makeup pencils last 6 months-1 year
  • Lipstick is good for 1-2 years
  • Blush/eye shadow is good for 1-2 years
  • Mascara needs to be tossed after three-four months
