Monday Mommy Tip – Check Expiration Dates

Toss out whatever is expired. Note that certain items are not good after certain time frames like:

  • Perfume is no good after 3 years
  • Makeup needs to go after 1 year
  • Sunscreen gets yucky after 2 years
  • Generally, you should throw away expired stuff. So, go through your medicine cabinet, drawers and make-up kit and dispose of all the expired stuff.

      I posted birthday party quick tips for having a pot luck party.

    3. I used some SEVEN YEAR OLD sunscreen on my infant this year at the water park. I’m not convinced it expires :) But now I’m glad to know that yes, even though I knew it was old, I SHOULD have thrown it away!

      Perfume, too, huh? Wow! Good to know, I guess. This tip REALLY helps with my decluttering! Thanks!

    4. By the way, I posted a tip about keeping your dining room table clean :)

      Wow, no wonder my Liz Claiborne perfume smelled funky the last time I used it! Wouldn’t have realized that about the sunscreen either. Thanks for the great tips!
