Dorm Room Shower Caddy and Bathroom Essentials


Shares 109

We’ve spent the past few weeks enjoying Summer but our daughter leaves for college in a week and it’s time to get serious. This next week is going to be about gathering everything she needs to make her dorm room feel like home. One of the first things we worked on was her Dorm Room Shower Caddy and Bathroom Essentials. She’s going to college in a small town (there’s only one traffic light) and she won’t have a car so we’re trying to get her stocked up for a few months.

Most college students need a shower caddy to carry back and forth when they shower. It doesn’t need to be large. This caddy holds all the contents listed below and there’s still one unused pocket.

Shower Caddy Essentials

shampoo
conditioner
body wash
lotion
face wash
shower poof
razors
toothbrush (+ another one for retainer)
toothpaste
floss
mouthwash
deodorant
wet brush
nail clippers
cotton swabs
retainer
lip balm

I don’t like toothbrushes being exposed in the bathroom, so these travel cases are the perfect solution to keep the brushes protected and they still fit in the caddy side pockets.

This plastic soap case can fit about 50 cotton swabs and keep them dry in the bathroom. It also keeps them organized and easy to get too.

Because she doesn’t want to toss her wet shower poof into the caddy I added a small clip to the handle where she can attach the poof to the outside.

Because this shower caddy is small and flexible it is easy to store on a hook inside her dorm room closet.

There’s not enough space in the bathroom to store the bathroom essentials so plastic drawers, under her bed, hold everything she needs. She will have a full length mirror in her room so all of her primping can be done there and not in the bathroom. With 5 girls to one bathroom, time is going to be limited in there.

The top drawer holds make-up and beauty products. Items are kept in individual bags to keep things separate and easy to get too. We didn’t need to purchase any zipper bags because this has been our way of storing her products for years.

The middle drawer holds all of her hair care products. Everything from hair ties to flat irons and blow dryer.

The last drawer holds all of  her medical and extra (stock up) supplies.

Medical Supply List

first aid kit
bandages
neosporin
midol
tylenol
vitamins
tums
theraflu
air bourne
cough drops
hand sanitizer

Bathroom storage medical drawer

Other Bathroom Essentials

towels
liquid hand soap
tissues
toilet paper
feminine hygiene
shower shoes or flip flops
back-up supplies
cleaning supplies

As much as I don’t want to see her go, this whole process of getting her ready to leave and organizing all of her items is pretty fun.

Top 10 Murder Victims Who Solved Their Own Murders

Image
Crime Lyra Radford August 9, 2017 The criminal justice system can be a bit tricky. Even if investigators think they know who committed a crime, they still have to be able to link a suspect to the scene without a shadow of a doubt. This is great for those wrongfully accused, but it’s downright infuriating when it helps the guilty get away with murder. Between stalled police investigations , poorly collected evidence , and subpar autopsy performances , the incompetence of the living can be enough to make the dead roll over in their graves. Or perhaps rise right up to solve their murder cases themselves. 10 The Ghost Of Fred Fisher Had To Point Out Where His Body Was In 1826, Australian farmer Frederick Fisher vanished .

How to make Bath Bombs with Pink Himalayan Salts

Image
Homemade bath bombs are all the rage these days. They are so easy to DIY and there are a ton of different bath bomb recipes out there. I love how easy it is to personalize your bath fizzies’ scent with essential oils . Some of my favorites to use include Lavender (Relaxation) and Peppermint (Pick-Me-Up). Mom Always Finds Out may have received one or more of the products mentioned in this blog post for free or discounted price. Regardless, all opinions expressed are my own. This blog post may contain affiliate links. I have been on a Pink Himalayan salt kick ever since I learned about how good it is for you. This pretty pink salt is one of the purest salts on Earth and is high in mineral content. The fine- grained Pink Himalayan salt is good to use for bath bombs because it dissolves quicker than the larger sized salt crystals . If you don’t have any Pink Himalayan salt at home, you can substitute another type of salt. Epsom Salts work great in this recipe, too. The main thing to
