January was never a favorite month of mine. For some reason, I always detested January. Sometime in 2012, when I was living in Germany, I discovered January Cure in Apartment Therapy. With many other fellow readers of Apartment Therapy, I started curing my tiny apartment in Germany. Ever since, January turned to be a month of bliss. This is the first time that I am live blogging about this cure.
Today is the first day of the cure and today’s assignment is to clean out a drawer – any drawer. Although most of my drawers need a clean out, I chose my bathroom drawer. I had been meaning to clean and reorganize it because this is the first thing that I use every morning. Here is a “before” picture. I am quite ashamed to post it online.

I cleared the drawer, cleaned it thoroughly and placed a non-slip mat underneath. Then replaced all the toiletries and threw away the used up ones. Although the “after” picture will not be a real pinterest-worthy one, it is still some improvement.
After
7 toothpaste
Can you believe I had 7 tubes of tooth-paste? Courtesy my DH. He likes to buy things thinking just in case we run out of it. By the way, the grocery store is only 200 meters from our home.
After
I store extra toiletry supply in the box on the right side. It has extra shampoo, tooth paste, brush, cotton swab, etc.

I did not have much time today, and in fact this entire week and the weekend I wouldn’t manage enough time to achieve what I want to. So I cleaned out just this one drawer and didn’t overdo it. Tomorrow will be a better one for me because tomorrow is the day to write down goals for this Cure and I loooooove writing down goals. 🙂
