Adopting a new habit: cleaning and organizing the fridge before a grocery run. Cannot recommend enough the sense of calm and order that comes with a neat and spotless fridge. Ahh, heaven. Next, these stackable bins spotted in this video of Priya Krishna’s fridge makeover might do the trick.

Getting ready for comfy, outdoorsy summer nights with this adorable loveseat + set of chairs + this pillow from Target after reading about all the outdoor furniture that’s selling out fast. Now, to find an inexpensive outdoor coffee table…

Drizzling this blueberry syrup (recipe by Genevieve Ko for the NYT) on everything. SO easy and only requires blueberries, a lemon, and maple syrup. Gloop this on top of a waffle with some cottage cheese as a little pick-me-up (hey, don’t knock it ‘til you try it!).

Admiring these Graf Lantz coasters we bought to protect the new coffee table. The merino wool material is hyper-absorbant, and their saturated color options look striking in person. 

Thinking about trying something new: I’m not a cashew milk gal, but this genius cashew milk “concentrate” that makes 7 quarts of milk (just add water) has me wanting to test it out...

Listening to “The Cult of Elon Musk” episode on the “Sounds Like A Cult” podcast to cope with the whole “welp, he bought Twitter” thing. The pod is a fun and easy listen, and is co-hosted by past GNI guest editor Amanda Montell.

Composting with the help of this this bamboo cutie we keep by the kitchen sink, plus a large outdoor compost bin. (Tip: Check to see if your local government/county will send you a free outdoor compost bin. I had no idea this was even an option!) If you don’t have space outdoors for composting, you could consider a local compost pickup option, like Compost Crew for all you DC, MD, and VA residents. (I love this line from their blog: “Finished compost has the smell of the forest floor after a rain.” Ahhh.)
