tuesday tidbits 7-4-17

Every Tuesday (or so) I share articles that I found helpful, inspiring or that just brightened my day. Tuesday Tidbits fall into the categories of travel, minimalism and/or health. Enjoy!

Travel

Japan Diary: I completely understand Rachel’s obsession with Japan. She writes about her second visit to Japan earlier this year where she went to Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Japan is a fascinating country and reading her post made me want to go back again because it brought back so many memories. If you’re a Japan lover like Rachel and I or are thinking about visiting Japan soon or one day, hop on over to Rachel’s travel diary and you might want to travel there rather sooner than later!

Inspiring Instagram Accounts: Who doesn’t love Instagram? It’s Yulia’s favorite social network for three reasons: 1) it pushes her to be creative, 2) it allows her to connect with like-minded individuals from around the globe, and 3) it provides her with a wealth of inspiration. I couldn’t agree with her more. She put together a list of ten inspiring instagrammers. Most of them are travel accounts. I love discovering new Instagram accounts and all of the ones she picked are true gems! Check them out here.

Antelope Canyon: Just look at Cándida’s dreamy pictures of the Lower Antelope Canyon in Arizona. Doesn’t it make you want to visit right now? It sure makes me want to visit; it’s actually high on my list. Cándida also doesn’t hide the fact that it’s an area swamped by tourists. However, she gives a few helpful tips on what kind of tours you can choose for a chance of getting the best pictures without people (if you’re looking for that).

Minimalism

Simplicity: What is simplicity? What does it mean to you? Meagan Henry over at Steele Henry muses about what simplicity means to her, how it can be applied in your life and the benefits a simple lifestyle can have. Because simple is often better and less is more. Do you agree?
Organizational Systems/Routines: Are you an organized person? Or do you wish you were more organized? If you need help in this department, Lauren comes to your rescue. In her excellent latest post of the Becoming Organized series, she identifies common problems and provides solutions that can help you in developing systems and routines to become and (most importantly) stay organized.
The KonMari’d Home: You might know by now that I’m a KonMari convert and am also in the process of shifting my career into becoming an organizing consultant. Getting through the potentially life-changing process of tidying your home can seem daunting at first. But it’s so worth it! Kristyn from For The Love Of Tidy talks about the “transformative properties of decluttering” and shows you five characteristics of a KonMari’d home.

Health

Your Mental Game: When life gets hectic, I’m often quick to throw my self-care habits overboard. I also tend to go a little crazy in my mind, which only adds more mental stress. I’m sure I’m not alone here. Candice shows you five ways to stay on your mental game when life is on the fast track. After all, your mental health is key in keeping it all together.
New Health Habits: I don’t know about you, but I love hearing about other people’s health and self-care habits. I often get new ideas and try out new things for myself and see if they work for me. That’s why I enjoyed reading about Robyn‘s three healthy habits that have changed her life.
New Super Foods: Do you like learning about new healthy foods or the latest food trends? If you’re into it, check out Califlourfoods’ predictions of the up and coming super foods. Most of them are probably not what you’d have expected.
