📝Living the Good Life – Declutter & 20 Minute Meal with The "Pause"

Spring and it is time to clean up and make room for a healthier lifestyle. Pack away the winter things and weed out clutter. A houseful of clutter may not be the only reason people pack on extra pounds, but research proves that it plays a big role. People with super-cluttered homes were 77% more likely to be overweight or obese! Why? In Lose the Clutter Lose The Weight, author Peter Walsh said it's because people can't make their best, healthiest choices in a cluttered, messy, disorganized home.

Excess weight and excess stuff have similarities. Both can creep up on us slowly over time until one day you realize your zipper won't do up or the cupboard won't close. Both problems are linked to living in an age of plenty. Reducing excess clutter promotes well being.

Aim to make your kitchen a tidy pleasant place to prepare delicious healthy meals. Make your bedroom into a soothing restful sanctuary.

Clutter – noun - a disorderly heap, collection of things lying about in an untidy mass; to fill or cover something with many things.

Junque - a wonderful collection of white elephants, trash, and treasures to pass onto someone who can use it.

Declutter – verb to remove unnecessary/excess items so you have more usable space and can easily find things when you need them. Simplify or get rid of mess or disorder, to streamline.
