CLEANING 3 Easy Ways To Keep Your House Clean Longer [Left: A shower curtain being closed. Center: Shoes on a shoe rack. Right: A baseboard being wiped with a dryer sheet.]( An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially when it comes to cleaning. 1. Close Your Shower Curtain. When you get out of the shower, make sure to pull the curtain closed to help the liner dry completely. This will prevent moisture from getting trapped in the folds and potentially leading to mold and mildew problems.
2. Take Your Shoes Off. Shoes track in dust, dirt, and debris, so keeping shoes at the doors can mean much less floor cleaning for you! Keeping shoe racks at the doors in and out of your house will help remind both family members and guests to remove theirs too.
3. Repel Dust With Dryer Sheets. If your baseboards are major dust magnets, try wiping them down with a dryer sheet after you've cleaned them. The dryer sheet will leave behind a thin layer of dust-repelling residue and keep them clean longer. (It also works on furniture, decor, and more.) SHOPPING Optimize Your Grocery List [Left: Jillee shopping in the produce section and holding a clipboard. Right: A closeup of the clipboard showing her printable grocery list. ]( Use my printable grocery list to make all your shopping trips easier and more organized. If you have a list when you go to the grocery store, youâre less likely to forget things and less likely to fill your cart with impulse buys. (However, I firmly believe that the shopper is always entitled to one or two non-list items as a reward for their hard work.) But thereâs something to be said for having a shopping list that goes beyond the basics. If you have a list thatâs organized by category, itâs easier to get all the items in one section the first time and avoid doubling back or making multiple laps around the store. And you won't even have to make it yourself, because I already made a category-based grocery list for you!

Right: Jillee's Instant Pot cooking times cheat sheet being taped to a kitchen cupboard.]( Instant Pots have consistently been one of the best deals of Amazonâs last several major sales, and [today is no different]( If youâre thinking about getting your first Instant Pot, I fully admit that there is often a bit of a learning curve for those who are just getting started. Itâs easy to feel intimidated at first, but once you have the basics down, it stops being scary and starts being awesome. New users have asked me a lot of the same questions about the Instant Pot, so I ended up putting together [this list of Instant Pot FAQs](. The answers include things like how the Instant Pot works, the best recipes to start with, and more, so itâs a great resource for learning the basics. But for visual learners like myself, reading about how to use an Instant Pot may not be the most useful option. If that includes you, Iâd encourage you to check out my beginner-friendly [Instant Success video course]( where I demonstrate the basics and walk you through it step-by-step. MONDAY MOTIVATION Let Go Of Shame Even if it wasn't always perfect, I had a privileged upbringing. My parents had a loving marriage and my five siblings and I got along reasonably well. My dadâs electrical company started taking off in my early teens, and at one point we were pretty well-off financially. So how did a privileged girl like me end up anxious, depressed, and in treatment for alcohol addiction? Believe me, I asked myself the same thing. For a long time I felt worthless and ashamed for being so âweakâ when I had so much going for me on paper. But the truth is that mental health problems donât work that way. They donât care about your childhood, your family, your finances, or your status. Mental illness is highly complex and can affect anyone for any reason, or for no reason at all. My daughter Britta once told me that emotions arenât the problemâitâs when we shame ourselves for feeling the way we feel that we do the most damage. If you're hurting or going through a period of personal struggle, let go of the shame that tells you you're weak, or that your pain is somehow invalid. Show yourself some compassion instead, and reach out for the help you not only need, but deserve as well. ð GIVEAWAY You & A Friend Could Win an Instant Pot Duo Crisp This week's giveaway has double the fun, because Iâm giving away not one, but two [8 Qt.
