On the door of your spice cabinet, you should keep a list of all the spices you have stored in the cabinet, possibly even the amount, so that you can keep track of what you have without having to actually sort through the cabinet. I find this to be a way to deal with the overwhelming amount of spices in a confined space, especially where things tend to get buried behind each other.

Hey, you have such a creative personality that sometimes getting and being messy just comes with the territory. It’s not a bad thing at all, it’s quite lovely to be so creative, it just means you’ll need to organize a litttle more often than other people . Being a minimalist, I don’t think, is within your personality. And if it’s not within you, it will make you feel like you’re failing more often than not. Keep being you my friend because you’re awesome ❤

Note: Do not bother to put things (like beef gelatin) into smaller containers. Always keep it in the size container that will take a full refill. That way you will both realize when you’re running low and reserve the space to house a full amount of it. Use one container up completely, clean it before refilling.

Those wooden lids on your mason jars looked so pretty on your kitchen shelf. I'll miss seeing them. Also, don't apologize for keeping the things you want to keep, even if it's multiple sets of the same thing. I have dozens of those tiny spatulas; I use them for everything. Minimalism isn't for everyone, despite what YT would have us believe. You need what you need in the quantity you need it. Every kitchen is different. Finally, Dana K White has some great strategies for decluttering that really help with the 'overwhelm' of it all. The kitchen looks great! ~ Lisa

Becky, I don’t know if you have ever read it but I just finished How To Keep a House While Drowning and it made me think of you and how you approach things. I have struggled with depression and chronic illness the past few years. I went from an active momma who baked her own bread, raised chickens/cows and sheep, gardens and everything to having times I couldn’t even get out of bed. I always loved and appreciated the way that you would speak to yourself while tackling big projects. While I always considered myself a pretty organized and clean person, I was always hard on myself whenever things fell to the wayside, and had never had an example of somebody who handled those things with such grace as you do. The book reminded me so much of of you and how thankful I am to have an example not only through the book but also of you on how to keep a home without being overwhelmed. Thank you!

Everyday I have to work so incredibly hard and it's not even 1/5th of what I used to do. As long as we are doing the best we can, we should be proud of ourselves. I try to remind myself if my kidd will remember our cleam home or thst I was on the couch, yes, but I snuggled up to them. The latter is more important to me. Keep on keeping on! And give yourself love on those days you can't function. ❤

First off, I LOVE your channel! I’m one of your first subs! You totally amaze me with the amount of work you get done! One of the reasons you can be that way is because you’re speedy. Since you’re always in a hurry, or being efficient as you put it, it’s easy to not stick with your organization. Being quicker drives you and enables you to get so much done, wish I was more like you. I’m waaaay too methodical! Every time you organize, you talk about being more of a minimalist with your spices. If I may suggest, since your spinning cabinet messes with your mind, don’t keep your spices and herbs in there! Maybe keep empty storage items in there or small appliances. You found so many spices and herbs in there you thought you were out of, you just don’t get in there and use that space because you don’t like it. So don’t put food in it. Kombucha is the exception, great idea!!! I love you being you! You go, girl!

With the way things are in today's economy I would suggest keeping all your spices until it's actually time to throw them away because they have actually expired. Keeping all your seasonings will help allow you to do more specialty videos as a type of food challenge, spice blend videos and how to use them. This is my fifth experience with an economic collapse and things will be real tough the next three years. It's time to squirrel away some things since a lot of spices are imported.

I love to keep things in mason jars so I can clearly see what's in them, but I HAVE to label them...even if it's just good old masking tape and a black marker. I would definitely make a list of what I had and keep that list handy somewhere so you don't end up buying things you already have, and don't it doesn't go out of date. Cleaning out always feels soooo good!

Great job Becky🎉 I completely agree with your minimal amount of things in the kitchen. It can be so overwhelming. Then you don’t really know what you have so you buy duplications of the exact thing that you might have two or three of. I just recently did a pantry cabinet clean out and it was a huge undertaking, but boy does it feel good. Great video. Josh to the rescue. He’s a keeper.❤ take care until next time.😊

Hi Becky, I’ve been thinking about how fun it’s been to watch your growth as a cook, a vlogger and recipe developer. I’ve been following you for about two years. One improvement on your channel is related to your new home, the light in your kitchen is really lovely and the videos look great. You also have so much space, which you are able to organize very well. But I see your development as a cook where you seem to be able to pivot if you don’t have an ingredient or if something doesn’t go according to plan. I also enjoy all the new recipes you try! You have always been skilled and inspiring. The channel is terrific, thank you!

Becky there is a new solution for the lazy Susan corner cabinet. It would be well worth the investment. It consists of two separate drawer systems that slide out so you don't uave to get down there and reach in there. I think it's called a vlind corner cabinet.
