From the fridge to the makeup table

PLASTIC bins are the perfect containers to keep your fridge organized

NARROW trays are just perfect for your hair sprays, perfumes, etc.

There are many basic ways to keep things organized around us. For storage units such as refrigerators, one usually arranges contents by food groups or  their containers. Here’s a suggestion that makes the items in there easier to locate and get our hands on.

Plastic bins, usually meant to hold just about anything, are the perfect containers to keep your fridge organized and easy to clean, too.

Tip: Before you go bin shopping, measure the space between your shelves and the depth so you get the right-sized container.

For your personal items, such as makeup, we’ve discovered mini dish racks at those Japanese P88 stores that are perfect for keeping our makeup compacts upright, to avoid literally digging them up. These little racks fit perfectly inside drawers, or look decent enough on your table. Trust the Japanese to think of making things small, compact and easy. You can choose from stainless ones, pictured here, or plastic ones.

They’ve also got narrow trays, meant for office supplies, to put your hair sprays, perfumes.
