What a great day Catherine Taylor of 'Still Mind Body Aromatherapy' and I of 'Age Drop Personal Training & Coaching' had on Sunday, sharing our knowledge and expertise on all things menopause with a lovely group of ladies!

Design doesn’t end at the bathroom door. It’s a great place to create some cool storage space in your independent living apartment. If you’re not a fan of various bottles littering the floor, try a shower stool. Plus, it’s a great place to sit while washing or to shave your legs.

Ladder shelves are very affordable and take up minimal room. They’re perfect for rolled towels and accessories that can live on the bottom shelves with more important products on the top.

Utilise the back of the bathroom door to hide towels, swimsuits and bathrobes by using some hanging hooks.
