This episode on how we organize our stashes was inspired by an episode request from Dora, a listener, who asked: “Can you maybe talk about storage for vast collections of beauty products? I have no clue where to put all my stuff so that it is still readily available and doesn’t clutter the whole bathroom. Thanks!”
If you have an episode idea for us, let us know!

Do you guys have favorite stores on Amazon. Can you recommend? Thank you.
Snow White says
I rarely pay attention to the actual stores I’m purchasing from when buying on Amazon, unless I notice it’s the Amazon store of an official shop such as Jolse. I tend to stick to Prime on Amazon, unless there’s something that’s comparable to what I can get it for from a Korean site.
Take care!

Thank you Snow, I also meant to ask if you have favorite sellers on Amazon. I’ve heard that there is lots of fraud Korean skincare out there.

Actually speaking of pretty packaging boxes, I hope you all see this bc I want to share this tip, I think you’d totally love it! So I’m a Marie Kondo/KonMari devotee, and I don’t keep my empties ever. But what I DO do is reuse the pretty boxes (hello, Dearpacker mask boxes!) and cut the tops off and use them for storage. I have a couple of cushion boxes that I’ve done this with to store post-it notes on my desk, and I have a couple of Dearpacker mask boxes that I use on my beauty shelf to hold serums and sample-size bottles. It makes for a beautiful display and allows you to keep enjoying the boxes out in the open instead of flattened and stored away. I’ll try to post a picture on Instagram soon and tag you all so you can see what I mean.
This was really interesting to listen to. I also only store cleansers and cleansing waters in the bathroom, with the exception of the bottom drawer used for samples (and other toiletries used for travel). For the rest, I have a CD shelf I converted into a beauty shelf/bookcase where I keep my current routine products/current skincare wardrobe. I then also have a plastic organizer with three drawers: the first is for wash off and sheet masks (sleeping masks live on the wardrobe shelving unit), the second is for body and nail products, and the third is for all of my bubble bath things (and my giant stash of hand sanitizer lol). Then, under my bed, I have a long box that I use to store more masks (unopened boxes and special Taiwanese ones) and backstock of things or unopened products. I probably have around 200? sheet masks. I don’t mask often because of laziness but I need to get back on it! I also only backstock HG items, and right now I only have one each of eye cream, LJH tea tree essence, Snowbang, and Elizavecca Kangsi gold mask.
Thank you so much, you are all so funny and I love the podcast! Congrats on the 20th episode. Please keep making more and more.
