We've lived in our house for almost a year and haven't touched our bedroom. For someone who cares so much about sleep and has struggled with it for so many years, it's hard to believe this hasn't been a priority for us! But we have a never-ending laundry list of projects and it keeps getting pushed.
Junk mail is annoying. I think we can all agree on that. But more importantly, it has a huge environmental impact. Each American receives an average of 41 pounds of junk mail per year which equates to 80-100 million trees cut down annually. Just for junk mail! New York University says 5.6 million tons of junk mail ends up in American landfills every year (source).
This month has been exciting, hasn't it? Kanye running for president! Wayfair conspiracy theories! COVID cases spiking! I'm obviously kidding. July is only halfway done and already a sh*tstorm. Anel (I hope jokingly?) likes to say that aliens are coming next. I feel like nothing would surprise us at this point.
I've been trying to focus on the things I can control at home but it's been really hard lately.
I have a thing about keeping my purse organized. When I reach in to grab something, I always know exactly where it is and there is something calming about that. When I have to dig around to find what I want, it stresses me out big time. Over the years, I've developed a little system that works well for me in any larger tote.
