Medicine
Don't be fooled by your medicine cabinet: The bathroom is no place your meds, since it's prone to moisture and fluctuating temps. Instead, keep your prescriptions at room temperature (between 68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit).

Jewelry
Apparently, the humid environment in the bathroom will speed up the oxidation process of your jewelry and cause it to tarnish — even if you don't wear it in the shower. You should keep precious items in a cool, dry room instead.
