Weekend Wisdom: <\/em>Feeling guilty for taking care of yourself is not taking care of yourself.<\/p>\n

I’m not organized but my spices are.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been pretty open about the fact that I am not very organized. That’s why living with less works so well for me. Less to clean, less to find, less to sort, less to distract me … less is best.<\/p>\n

That said, I cook a lot and so I have a lot of spices. For the longest time, they lived on a rotating platform. We tried to organize and arrange and sort and they always got messy again. Totally my fault. I’m not built to keep so many things where they belong.<\/p>\n

When I looked at the 50 or so bottles and jars, I recognized that the same way we use 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time, the same held true with my spices. On a daily basis, I use salt, pepper, olive oil, crushed red pepper and fresh thyme. The rest of them are for special recipes or just a little something extra once or twice a week.<\/p>\n

I narrowed it down to 12 favs and hid the rest. You can see the before and after video here<\/a>. And since I know you’ll ask, here’s where I got the jars<\/a> and this is where I found the labels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had to remind myself (again), less is best.<\/p>\n

\n

Ok \u2026 onto the favorites:<\/h2>\n

I had a really fun conversation with The Minimal Mom about simplifying your wardrobe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why<\/a> your brain needs downtime. Yes … needs.<\/p>\n

I rarely subscribe to newsletters, but I signed up for this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ll be watching this free MasterClass<\/a> on Black History, Black Freedom and Black Love.<\/p>\n

Soft songs<\/a> to help you unwind and feel peace.<\/p>\n

I love this little book<\/a> and this one<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

How to<\/a> declutter when you move.<\/p>\n

Check out these top 10 books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

21 tiny ways<\/a> to be the priority of your own life.<\/p>\n

If you are sick of tracking and trusting a device over yourself, read this: I ditched my smart watch and I don’t regret it<\/a>. (NYT)<\/p>\n

You’ll love yourself even more when you stop doing these 3 things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Responsible decluttering<\/a> while building a minimalist wardrobe.<\/p>\n

You had me at honey-sriracha dressing. I can’t wait to make this salad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How<\/a> not to be grumpy.<\/p>\n

This week’s Instagram favorite is from @drjenwolkin<\/a> because you know how I feel about rest<\/a>.<\/p>\n
