How to Find Comfort in Your Home
Home should not be a source of worry or a place in which you feel you can’t or shouldn't relax. Home should feel like a sanctuary somewhere to retreat when the hustle and bustle of everyday life gets too much. Over the past year I've noticed that as I've changed my home to a more simple and comforting style I've realised my anxiety and headaches have begun to ease when I'm home. I hope this helps you as much as these have helped me.

Dishwasher Hacks That You (Probably) Don't Know
The dishwasher has become one of the biggest chore-cutting inventions of recent decades, and anyone who's owned one can tell you that it makes doing dishes a breeze. You just pop them in, add some detergent, push a button, and then wait. The machine makes a little noise, and BOOM! You have clean dishes.

Lifehacks That Will Improve Your Home Immediately
When you've just moved into your first place like I have, you need as many lifehacks that will improve your home immediately as possible.

What I Learned from the Minimalism Challenge
So first up, what is the minimalism challenge? Well basically, The Minimalists Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus posted the idea on their website in the spirit of “new year clear out.” The idea is that on the 1st of January, you get rid of one thing, on the 2nd, you get rid of two things, all the way up to getting rid of 31 things on the 31st. You can get a friend and see who finishes first, who gets rid of the most stuff, or you can just keep going through February, March etc. until you reach a natural end. I reversed mine because I’m a rebel and needed to see fast changes. It worked for me because I was so ready to clear stuff out, but if you don’t even know where to start, it’s probably not for you. I completed the challenge over the whole of January, getting rid of over 500 things, and here is what I learned.

Easy and Affordable Ways to Decorate Your Home Boho-Style
1. Wooden storage works wonders. Storage products with a wooden finish (especially hand-crafted) are always winners in inspiring a rustic feel. Trinket boxes, tiny chests and jewellery racks not only act as places to store all your bits and bobs — they also give an organic and sophisticated edge to any room.

How to Wash a Cast Iron Pan
Whenever I use my cast iron pan to whip up a meal, my pan always looks like it was in the middle of an explosion. The food will get stuck in the iron pan and it's almost always a struggle to completely clean it. Even though I usually stick to my cast iron pan for certain meals—it's an absolutely essential tool for cooking a perfect steak—I have always dreaded washing it. I've actually ruined a few iron pans in the past because I didn't know how to properly wash them. There are cleaning tips available for other types of pans, like how to revive burnt teflon pans, but cast iron is notoriously difficult to care for. My own mom even refused to tell me how because she wanted me to figure out issues like these on my own...

Best Safes for Your Home
I've got a lot of heirlooms that my family left me that I didn't lose in the divorce. Plus, I've got a lot of precious videos and photos of my son Jarret, and a few other memories (I played minor league baseball for a while). I don't want anything bad happening to those things, so I need to buy a safe! Especially since I Airbnb, the spare bedroom and the neighboorhood I live in has had the occasional break-in (there was a murder outside my apartment before I moved in!).

10 Creative Ways to Declutter Your Life and Stay Organized
