I agree!!! I’m a college student. I watch her video when I feel anxious or stressed because of college life. Watching her organizing can help me feel like I can get my life together.
Your cat sitting on your cable box with the burlap cover made me chuckle. My cats choose the craziest places to take a nap too. I enjoyed the ideas you shared as well and thanks.
I love your vlogs, thank you. I add a few drops of vanilla extract to the water when I clean my microwave. Leaves your kitchen smelling lovely. Sending lots of love. ⚘
Thank you for all the lovely tips, I will be adding citrus slices to the dishwasher from now on. My dad taught me the trick of covering food with a plate, he learnt it from my grandmother, no clingwrap when she raised her 8 kids, I wish that my grandparents where still around, I am sure that I could learn a lot from them, but I am lucky to have my parents.
To ripen avocado, place each into separate wool socks (bought myself a pair of new kids socks for that purpose :)) and set onto the window sill, or warmer place on general. Thanks for your videos, really enjoy them!
Great video as always Benita. My top tip is a combination of two of yours. Adding a squeezed half of lemon to the bowl of water in your microwave helps it smell better also.
Wow! I've watched a lot of videos with ideas like this but these were all new to me! I had no idea about lemon in the dishwasher and putting an avocado half in a bowl of water. Can't wait to start using these ideas!
Thanks for all these great tips. I will definitely try the avocado in water, and the lemon in the dishwasher. Totally agree that clinging film can be easily replaced with dishes, this is what our grandmothers used to do anyway before plastic was a daily reality. And I also love the idea of felted pads underneath the appliances, I never thought of that. Great video Benita!
Im going to have my first apartement ever, your videos help me a lot as a new minimalist. Thank you so much im a new subscriber wo already learn a lot of you
Hello Benita. Thank you for all those wonderful relaxing videos. Even though, I have lived in the US for many many years, I am originally from South America. As you might imagine, avocados are important fruits in our daily diet. To get them yo ripe faster, my mother would wrap them in news paper and put them in the oven overnight. You don't have to turn on the oven. the next day they would be ripen.. I hope it works for you.
I'd just started using a magazine folder that I unpacked recently. I'd bought it so long ago I'd forgotten I had it. Much of my gear is still packed due to circumstances following my last move. It made me smile hearing your tip about doing just that... I love your ideas, your boundless strength of character & your generous spirit of sharing your wisdom. Thank you sooo much 🌻🍀
Thanks for the hanger tip. I cut up pool noodles and shaped them to stick on a few hangers. These work great but take up quite a bit of space. It's so great to see you have so many followers here. I've been a fan from the early blog days! Time flies ;) I have looked for that matchbook cover for ages. Any links for that by chance? I know you've had it for so long that it's probably not available anymore but I have to try. Happy spring!
Dearest Benita, thank you so much for all the useful tips, especially the one with the lemon 🍋 cup in the dishwasher...the avocado 🥑 and the cling film!! And once again...I 💗 your cats..they are the sweetest 😻😻😻😻😻 Have a nice rest of the week🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I didn't think I was the only one who used plates or other objects as covers in the fridge, but my reason is more out of laziness. I also keep a stash of aluminum foil (much to my boyfriend's dismay!) that I reuse until it falls apart. That part I do for the environment. ;) Thank you for another lovely and calming video!
This video is over the top informative. Thank you once again for all the wonderful tips! I’ve not tried the citrus in the dishwasher! I will be doing that from now on. What a super video 🥰
Thank you for your tips always enjoy watching your videos . I like the tip using saucers instead of cling film. Your Cats are adorable they sleep on cozy spots..
Hi Benita - some excellent tips which I haven’t used and will happily adopt. Thank you! One which I find useful is to put my wet rinsed-out kitchen sponge into the microwave for about one minute on ‘high’. This seems to ‘sterilise’ the sponge and also give the microwave a steam for cleaning. I do remove it with tongs, though!
Hi Benita. I especially like the citrus in the dishwasher, the avocado trick (because I use 1/2 of an avocado in my protein shake several times a week) and the felt to protect surfaces. Thank you for sharing.
Lemon in the dishwasher is a great idea! I clean my microwave the same as you, but with lemon/lime/orange peels. I keep them in the freezer until cleaning day.
Hi Benita, what a great tips. Thank you I will for sure try the one with lemon in the dishwasher though :) I recommend you throw away the used match or stick it into a plant pot with soil, otherwise it may cause a fire in that match box.
Thank you for these tips - I also use plates or bowls for quick left over storage and cut fruit - love the idea of saving avocado in a bowl of water! I have a garbage disposal (which i don't really usem as I compost) and sometimes run a lemon peel through it to freshen it!
Love the inspiration folder idea. I use an old lemon in a bowl with a tiny amount of water in my microwave every Monday am whilst cleaning my coffee machine (whilst I’m doing school lunches). I buff mine with a microfibre cloth (it’s stainless steel) and comes up a treat. I then use the lemon in the kettle to descale or monthly in the dishwasher with vinegar. I love your trick of adding to a regular dishwasher load.
This is a year late, but putting the hard avocado in a paper bag with an apple or banana for a day or two on the counter or on a shelf will hasten the ripening process nicely. Just don't forget it is in there. I enjoy watching your Swedish perspective.
I love watching and rewatching your videos as they are so interesting. Would love some videos of you out and about doing activities in the city but my favourite ones are around your apartment. Could we please have home tours of your friends’ homes or other Swedish homes I’m fascinated by them. Thank you 🌸
I got my paper work sorted, 3 drawers down to 1/2 drawer. And it all went into a fireproof/waterproof grab n go bag that I put by my bed. Have a blessed week to you had kitty's.✌🙏💗🤗🐈
Once again a great video with relaxing atmosphere! I throw half lemons in the microwave on high for 30 sec and let the steam from the juices and lemon oils do the magic! But now I'm looking forward to trying the lemon dishwasher trick! Greetings from Germany!
Great tips! I especially like the microwave cleaning-why hadn't I ever thought to do that before! Curious to know though, why do you keep the burnt matches? Why not just throw them out when you're done after each use?
All your tips are appreciated. I especially will make use of the magazine holder idea, the multiple hanger trick, and the half avocado in the water tip. Enjoy ALL your videos.
Excellent tips, as always. Also, thank you for choosing great sponsors. I enjoy Morning Brew and Function of Beauty, both of which I learned about from you. Hugs to Mini and Bonus, as usual :)
I'm currently sifting through my office space. It's taken a week plus but so happy with the difference! I will try the magazine holders instead of an open file rack. The only time I wear old clothes is when I'm doing yard work or colouring my hair. I love seeing your cats in your videos. Have a good week ahead.
All amazing tips here, Benita! I'd definitely try the avo one, a bit scared that water would draw out the flavours. Maybe will be ok. You dishes (dinner ware plates, bowl) are so beautiful, so clean and minimal, love straight shapes of it. Would you mind sharing what is the brand of those, please please please? 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@BenitaLarsson oh sorry, I should have mentioned, I’ve tried finding it there. There does not seem to be any dinnerware. Could you please add it or point me where it actually is in there? 🙏🏻 thank you so so so much!
Thanks for these tips Benita, especially steaming the microwave. Will try this one today.I too use plates to cover things in the fridge👍🏻. Loved this 🥰xx.
Excellent tips. However, at our home, we try to eat homecooked meals from scratch every day (avoid processed meals) and we always double our recipes so we have food for another day during that week. Instead of using film, we store our food in glass containers with lids. That way we don't need extra dishes to use as lids and can keep our kitchen inventory if not "minimal" at least "reduced" and just enough for our family needs. LOVED the paper storage system!
Great tips! I am excited about trying the lemon peel in the dishwasher idea. Have you thought about folding your socks a la Marie Kondo? At first I thought it was strange but it is actually life changing. I have had an enviably tidy underwear/sock drawer that I was never to maintain before.
I always use the trick with plate to cover the meal, it is the best way to reduce garbage! Two of my home tricks are preparing bigger portion of meal and freeze it, so I have a ready dinner in freezer, if I am too busy to cook and cleaning the windows with old tights, do they are much more shiny!
What a great bunch of tips. Thanks. I'm going to try the microwave tip using a measuring cup, hoping it's a little easier to handle the hot water. I like the idea of a work apron. It makes me think of the characters in Sense and Sensibility, tearing off their apron when company arrived.
I am so excited by the avocado tip! That will definitely cut back on my plastic wrap use which is mainly confined to avocado halves, cut onions, and pie dough that is resting. I wonder if cut onions can be kept in water too.
Our supermarkets sell frozen onion which I’ve used. It’s great as you can select any quantity but does have a little water but quickly evaporates if you are frying
If I get a wax drip on a hard surface I use a credit card to scrape it off. If it lands on fabric I use paper towels and a warm iron to soak it up after scraping off as much as possible.

Thanks for the avacado advice! I already use plates to cover bowls.

Happy spring!
I think it’s only available in Sweden. You need the standard Swedish match box for the design to work and matches can’t be sent in the mail.
@@BenitaLarsson I guess I'll just have to get over there :)
Thank you Benita for all you’re wonderful videos you give us your wisdom and beautiful ideas for our happy homes❤️

I love the old sock 🧦 tip for dusting. Thanks for all the great ideas on today’s video.🦋🌸
Yes! I allow you to keep one 🤣
I didn't think I was the only one who used plates or other objects as covers in the fridge, but my reason is more out of laziness. I also keep a stash of aluminum foil (much to my boyfriend's dismay!) that I reuse until it falls apart. That part I do for the environment. ;)

When laziness is saving the planet I'm all for it! 🤓
Thank you for this! I'm currently trying the citrus in the dishwasher tip. 🧡
This video is over the top informative. Thank you once again for all the wonderful tips! I’ve not tried the citrus in the dishwasher! I will be doing that from now on. What a super video 🥰
I don't use a dishwasher...I am the dishwasher! 😄 But I use lemon peel/slices in the washing up water. It's one of my favourite fragrances! 🍋
Haha! I was also the dishwasher for 20 years. It's overrated in my mind 🤣
As always, nice ideas! Love these Benita!
So glad you like them!
Thank you for your tips always enjoy watching your videos . I like the tip using saucers instead of cling film. Your Cats are adorable they sleep on cozy spots..
Hello from Chicago! I love your videos. They are so calm and relaxing!!!

I LOVE every one of your videos! What did you squeeze on top of your avocado and egg?
It’s Kalles Kaviar. It’s very Swedish😅
Lemon in the dishwasher is a great idea! I clean my microwave the same as you, but with lemon/lime/orange peels. I keep them in the freezer until cleaning day.
I sometimes pop citrus in the microwave too! Smart call freezing some for later!
Hi Benita, what a great tips. Thank you I will for sure try the one with lemon in the dishwasher though :) I recommend you throw away the used match or stick it into a plant pot with soil, otherwise it may cause a fire in that match box.

I sometimes use white vinegar in kettle but don’t feel I need to worry about rinsing so much with lemon
Hi Benita,
I like everything you use. They are so classic n stylish!! You have great taste!!!! Awesome tricks too in this video!! 👍👍
Aww, that's so sweet, thank you!

I don't fold my socks that way because I don't have very many and I can see every pair so easily anyway.
Great tips, thank you for sharing. However my favourite part of this video is Mini at the beginning having a little dream 💭
She's a little sweetie, for sure!
I always use the trick with plate to cover the meal, it is the best way to reduce garbage! Two of my home tricks are preparing bigger portion of meal and freeze it, so I have a ready dinner in freezer, if I am too busy to cook and cleaning the windows with old tights, do they are much more shiny!

Hi Benita, thank you for the tips. I particularly liked the avocado one. That will become very useful! Have you any for catching melted wax?
