    Keep vs. Toss

    Keep only hair accessories that still work (read: not those sad, stretched-out ponytail holders or sprung bobby pins). Then rein in fasteners with repurposed office supplies: A ring clip corrals hair bands; a paper-clip holder minds pins.

    Toss expired medicines — they're ineffective and can be dangerous. Check each prescription and over-the-counter drug's use-by date. If it's undated and you can't recall when you bought it, see if there's a local take-back program, or go to fda.gov for disposal details.

    Toss baskets of potpourri and too many candles, which just gather dust and take up space. Ditto for pretty but never-used bath salts, bombs, and gels. Why not give them to someone who'll actually enjoy them?
