Minimalist hacks to declutter your life

There's a reason that changing seasons always seem to be accompanied by donation bags—we have too much stuff! Shows like 'Tidying Up with Marie Kondo' gained attention worldwide because this is a common problem that both unites and buries us. Whether it's one too many stops for retail therapy, the inability to give anything up due to sentimentality, or simply not enough time to go through it all, many of us struggle with household clutter in our day-to-day lives. However, did you know that owning less can actually improve your quality of life? In 1978, researcher Phillip Brickman from Northwestern University conducted a study to see if wealth truly brought happiness. He found that the happiness of those who had won the lottery was no higher than the control group who only met their basic physical needs. Yet another psychological study was done by LN Chaplin and DR John, which found a strong link between materialism and low self-esteem among young people. Not only has it been shown that clutter detracts from our mental health, it's also been suggested that our mental well-being actually benefits when our houses aren't cluttered with things. According to Psychology Today, clearing our closets of possessions that we don't absolutely love can reduce stress and foster peace of mind. In an added benefit, spending less on material things also cuts back on financial stress, as well as taking away the pressure of always having to earn and buy more. While buying your favorite pair of pants in three colors may feel right in the moment, this doesn't ultimately lead to long-term happiness. By embracing a minimalist lifestyle, you can make your life less complicated and stressful—all while saving money. Perhaps less really is more! While this is all great to talk about, it's another thing entirely to actually get down to business and clear the clutter to make way for minimalism. But never fear! These minimalist hacks will make your life a whole lot easier. In honor of Use Less Stuff Day, click through this gallery and start maximizing your life today!

The inherent dangers of human inbreeding

Inbreeding is the mating of individuals or organisms that are closely related through common ancestry. In humans, it's associated with consanguinity, defined as a union between two individuals who are related as second cousins or closer. History records that inbreeding was commonplace in antiquity, and probably even earlier. Today, cultural taboos, parental education, and greater awareness of inbreeding consequences have played large roles in minimizing inbreeding frequencies in Europe and throughout the Western world. But the custom is still practiced in other regions of the globe, and the health risks of doing so remain serious. But what exactly are the inherent dangers of human inbreeding?

The origins and meanings of some of the world’s most famous symbols

Since the beginning of human civilization, symbols have played a vital role. These cultures used symbols as a way to express themselves in various ways. The prehistoric man carved his life experiences on cave walls, not expecting we'd still be talking about them today. Indeed, to this day, we still use many of the symbols inherited from the past. Be it in religion, political ideology, or art, we still come across many of these symbols in our day to day, often without knowing their true meanings and origins.

"Nice" things people do that are actually annoying

It is commendable that we strive to treat others with kindness. However, there is a fine line between being nice and becoming a nuisance, and sometimes this distinction can be hard to discern. This is usually because when we engage in acts of kindness, we do so based on our own perception of what is nice, rather than considering what is truly best for the other person or what they genuinely desire or need. We have all experienced the discomfort of receiving gestures from others that are intended to be kind but end up being quite annoying, burdening us with additional tasks and obligating us to feign gratitude. Take a look at the following list to find out which 'nice' actions are actually not so nice after all!

To shave or not to shave: Why we started removing our body hair

Women around the world have expressed the benefits of not having to shave or wax during the pandemic. This task is often painful, expensive, uncomfortable, and time-consuming. However, societal pressures have led many women to believe that shaving is a choice they must make. In reality, these so-called choices have been influenced by decades of social expectations. Although many women begin hair removal at a young age, only a few understand the origins and reasons behind this trend. Throughout history, body hair has played a significant role in shaping gender roles, delineating social classes, defining femininity, and exerting control over women through shame. However, these notions are now undergoing transformation. This article, based on information from CNN, explores the origins of hair removal, its proliferation, and the challenges it faces today. It sheds light on how societal expectations have influenced women's grooming habits and the current movement towards questioning and challenging these norms.

Furniture that has disappeared in the modern era

You might not have given this fact much thought, but as technology and our lifestyles evolve, so does the need for certain furniture. For example, telephone tables were built with a specific, practical function in mind, which is no longer necessary with our smartphones of today. In addition to its functionality, furniture can also contribute to the style or decor of a space. Secretary bookcases, for example, provided the benefit of both storage space and a convenient work surface. And while many of these items were highly fashionable in the first half of the 20th century, they have now disappeared from contemporary homes. Click on to discover pieces of furniture that were once popular, but you'll probably never see in most modern homes today.
