Organization and Contact Lenses…
Posted: November 25, 2011 Filed under: Organize, Saving Money | Tags: Health, Organize, Saving-Money 5 CommentsI wear disposable contacts. Throwing them out after two weeks of wear is a must. Over the past few months I’ve found myself scratching my head and asking myself, “Did I open this package 1 or 2 weeks ago?” I’ve thought about keeping a little calendar in my make-up bag, but I came up with a better solution. Here it is.
1) Find a DRY ERASE pen.
2) Write the date you open the contacts on the corner of your mirror.
3) Make a dash EVERY time you wear them (see picture below).
4) Throw contacts out when your two weeks are completed (or per your doctor’s recommendation).
5) Simply erase the marks on the mirror and start over!
Due to this system, I no longer wear my contacts too long or throw them away too soon. This saves my eyes and my money!
I also write surprise notes to my husband, reminders and lists on my mirror! Just make sure you are using a DRY ERASE pen.

My roommate and I write notes to eachother on our bathroom mirrors all the time (and reminders to ourselves!). It’s a very handy way to keep track of things. 🙂
My old roomies and I used to do that, too. That’s what gave me the idea!
Even though washable markers do the same thing, the humidity in the bathroom makes them run. Great solution!
I wear daily contact lenses but I always feel bad throwing out the little packs they come in every morning!
I like the idea of writing on the mirror- I’d write to remind myself what to take with me to work each day because I am constantly forgetting things! x
I looked at my contact packs because of your comment. They are re-cyclable! Maybe you won’t feel so bad if you throw your packet in your recycle bin:)
