How to KonMari Your Food
5 Ways I KonMari-ed the Crap Out of My Diet, and "Sparking Joy" Is Just the Beginning
5
Doing a complete overhaul and organising my kitchen has helped me take on a minimalist view when it comes to this area of the house. Now when I'm out shopping, I think twice before buying anything. I ask myself, will I absolutely eat this food, or do I absolutely love this dish towel, or is this the perfect-size salad bowl I've been looking for? Everything I buy has a purpose, and it doesn't go unused or wasted.
Now I will only buy the foods, appliances, bowls, cups, plates, knives, and meal-prep containers (anything that involves eating or preparing food) that I'll use and that I love.
For example, for years I've been contemplating wanting to get a stand-up mixer. It's not cheap, though, so I wanted to be sure I really needed and would use it, and this year, on my birthday, I got one. The yummy food and memories I've made in just a few months have already made it worth it. From the Friday night family homemade pizza crust to the birthday cakes to the random Tuesday night chocolate chip cookies, it's definitely sparked joy!
