Cold and Flu Season is coming it’s time to restock and clean out your Medicine Cabinet

October 29, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Find out how to clean out your medicine cabinet.

Cleaning Tips:

Once a year, at a minimum, go through the medicine cabinet and dispose of any unwanted or expired medications.

Obtain a replacement prescription if necessary.

Medications should be stored in a hallway closet away from humidity and heat and out of reach from children.

Questions To Ask While Cleaning Out Your Medicine Cabinet:

Is the medication currently being used? Why is the medication still hanging around?

Is it expired? The expiration date for medication is the date that the manufacturer cannot guarantee its potency and safety. If there is no expiration date, use a date of one year from when the medication was originally dispensed.

Has the medication been properly stored? Medication should be stored according the manufacturer’s instructions. Usually in a cool, dry place with a consistent temperature. Like a hallway closet, not the bathroom or kitchen cabinets.

What is the appearance of the medication? Does it look like it is supposed to look like? Is there any change in the appearance, color, smell?

Generally, expired medications are not harmful. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any expired medications.

Reasons Why Not to Use and Dispose of Expired Medications:

The medication may not be as potent and thus, less effective in treating the medical condition. This is especially a concern for the treatment of a serious or life threatening medical condition.

The medication may be contaminated or unsterile, as with liquid medications.

To prevent over medicating: the medication may have been replaced with a new prescription for the same medication, a new strength, or a new type of medication.

To prevent potential, harmful drug interactions with any current medications or health conditions.

To prevent misuse and abuse by others.

How to Properly Dispose Of Unwanted/Expired Medications:

Do not flush down the toilet unless the manufacturer specifically instructs this as the proper disposal method.

Remove or mark out any personal information from the label.

Mix the medication with something to make it unpalatable, such as cat litter or old coffee grounds.

Place the medication in a non identifiable, sealed container and discard in the trash.

Take advantage of any local community or government medication take-back programs.

How to Get “The Look” by Stepping Outside the Box

Are you a fashion snob? Think you have to dress head to toe in designer pieces?  Well, try taking a step down off the fashion pedestal and you’ll find a great new look by mixing inexpensive items into your outfits!

If you can only afford one designer piece then choose a piece that shows off your best body part . Or pick a designer handbag or shoe that is really extraordinary, and then you can cheat on the rest. There’s no need to pay a fortune for the basics like a tee shirt, black leggings or a trendy piece that will only last this season.

Try shopping at the thrift stores,  where you will find affordable designer / vintage pieces.  Don’t forget jewelery! Thrift stores often have some very affordable, unusual  pieces like shoe clips and broaches. That gorgeous pin can be worn at the shoulder, at your waist, on the back of a drop backed dress or on a top.

Rule of thumb –  no more than one piece of clothing with a designer logo on it per one complete outfit. You might wear a great designer pant or skirt with a tee from the gap. How about a blouse from H&M , a vintage belt from a thrift store and a trench coat from Banana Republic and a ballet flats? Bottom line is you don’t have to spend a lot to get a great look.

You do need to find a look that reflects your personality and works with your figure type and mixes traditional with modern. Some people copy style, others set a trend . Some people take risks and others know who they are and have their own look.

ALWAYS remember ” you want to wear the clothes not have the clothes wear you”.

If you choose a signature piece for the season then everything will fall in to place. Step one, find  a dress that’s wearable and affordable and really NOW. Don’t compromise ! If you love something and it flatters your body and allows “the you ” to shine through , then get it! You KNOW you deserve it!
