We're officially two weeks into 2019, and if you haven’t been able to “get organized,” you’re in luck. Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, founders of the popular organization company The Home Edit, shared their recommendations to help you declutter every part of your home.

If you struggle with a tidy kitchen or pantry – these are the products they LOVE that can truly work some decluttering magic.

How to declutter

Even when we know people’s names, why do we go for days without using them? By using someone’s name, you help them feel seen and acknowledged — and that’s an act of kindness. According to kindness.org’s research in collaboration with the University of Oxford, doing a kind act increases happiness, well-being, trust and compassion. And it can have the same powerful effect on those who receive the act. Try it, and put a smile on both your faces.

Have you ever had some fruit or cereal and ended up feeling hungry within an hour? If your meals aren’t balanced and don't contain the satiating macronutrients (protein, fat and fiber) then you’re not going to be satisfied. Some healthy options include smoothies, hard-boiled eggs with avocado, chia pudding, overnight oats and more. Click the link below to get the recipes!

Stretching counts as part of exercise (hello, yoga!). Next time you fall into bed exhausted, remind yourself that you’ll feel more refreshed and physically mobile in the morning if you just do a few stretches in bed.

While lying down, hug your knees into your chest, then lower them to the right for a few breaths, and then to the left. Next, reach one leg up towards the ceiling, and hold onto the back of the leg to pull it closer towards you to feel a stretch in the hamstring, then switch sides. Finally, hug both knees in towards your chest and take a few deep breaths to stretch out your low back.
