Organization Question

Organizing my new house. Where do you keep your Vitamins and Medicine so you remember to take them everyday?

    In the cabinet with the coffee. I have coffee every morning so I don't forgot them!

    Same!

    In the kitchen right above where I have breakfast. I can't function without breakfast, so there it is! I put my medicine in a weekly medicine organizer that I got from a drug store.

    On an open shelf in the bathroom, next to my toothpaste - I know at the very least I brush my teeth every day, so I know I'll remember to take meds every day.

    I usually brush my teeth after breakfast and before bed, so my vitamins and Rxs are in a narrow plastic container beside my sink and drinking cup, and below the medicine cabinet where I keep my toothpaste. I have one Rx that I take well before breakfast, it’s there, too, so I remember when I have my first cup of water in the morning.

    Why aren’t they IN the cabinet? because of how the cabinet is organized, with my lucite organizers. I do try to organize their little box by time of day and then appearance (mainly color of top).

    I finally gave up and got one of those little Sunday-Saturday plastic pill box things that sits on the side table where I have my morning coffee and watch the news. It is full of my vitamins. Currently I'm on two meds, one a.m. and the other p.m., so they are in the drawer of the bedside table and I keep a glass of water by my bed.

    Right next to my toothbrush! Something I'll do every single day.

    I agree the toothbrush and the vitamins or perscriptions kind of go together . We have a 3 drawer small cabinet that houses all the vitamins, medications (few) and all the stuff like aspirin , amogel ,cough syrup etc it is in our ensuite and makes perfect sense for us.

    Hmm, when I took my vitamins this morning, I started looking at the bottles. And then I thought about some pretty spice jars I have that are sitting in a box, glass with a glass stopper. Like these:


    And some other small jars, also glass with a stopper, like these:


    And I thought, I can make labels. Labels, of course, are a must.

    And then my vitamins would be in prettier containers. (I think I’d keep Rxs in the original bottles, but the bottle could go in a decorative tin, but that’s one too many steps.)

    And I can keep the original bottles in a cupboard, and refill the pretty ones as necessary.

    And then I thought, they are in the bathroom, who sees except DH and me? But, I used to keep the cotton balls in a nice jar, so why not?

    DH is into decanting everything in the kitchen into jars, so why not our vitamins?
