The idea is to find and dispose of – by throwing away, donating or selling – excess material possessions at an exponential rate, with the ultimate aim of getting rid of just under 500 items in one month. As part of my personal long-term goal of getting from hoarder to minimalist, I’m giving it a go.
Blitva!
This has got to be one of the simplest, tastiest recipes I have had in a very long time. I plan on making this A Lot over the next while.

What do you get if you cross an introvert with a group holiday tour? Coping strategies
