Day 4 is a Sunday - great day for your weekly food prep! I thought it'd be fitting to organize all that tupperware. It took just a few minutes to let go and bin all the covers that had no bowls, and all the bowls that had no covers. They were a lost cause anyway, and I'm truly now too old to store garbage. (I may have shed a tear or two 🥲). This took all of 10 minutes to set up the new set of black takeaway packs ( you can get those from Amazon, Costco etc). Now your guests can get leftovers without having to leave their kidneys behind as insurance that you'll get your good tupperware back! I had accumulated a decent stock of glass ones for home use. They are great! Glass means they are dishwasher and microwave safe. And they are clear, so you can actually see what you've got in them. No more pseudo-petri dishes growing science lab mold in your refrigerator. Stacking them in a drawer, and separate from the covers saves space and keeps things from cascading down on top of you every time you open a cabinet. I'm feeling pretty chuffed! 😇😇😇

Hi! So in honor of my 50 years on planet earth, I'm going to be sharing 50 easy peasy, inexpensive and practical tips to organizing and glamming up your space in 50 days! Can you tell just how excited I am about this project?! One of my birthday gifts to myself was to declutter and organize every nook and cranny of my home and office. And yes self-birthday gifts are a thing 😂 Organizing your space saves time and money, and vastly improves productivity and happiness. I have less time on earth than I started out with, so I need to not spend it fighting clutter, and hunting down missing (or maybe misplaced items🤔).​​​​​​​​​Day 1: A silverware drawer organizer is worth its weight in gold. It cuts down on mysteriously disappearing forks and spoons. And makes emptying the dishwasher so easy, even your toddler can help. They start from $5 for plastic or acrylic ones and about $30 for the high end wooden ones. This is mid-range from the UPDATTERA series at IKEA. They also have plastic ones for a lot cheaper. It's pretty indestructible and I've had this one for at least a decade. Cleans easily too with a moist towel. What's not to love! 😍
