Style Magazine: March 2019
If your idea of exotic eating is ordering orange chicken at Panda Express, keep reading. Starting on page 43, Luna Anona takes you around the world (Afghanistan, El Salvador, Germany, Korea, Peru, and the list goes on) for a roundup of international eateries that are all found in our region—ultimately encouraging you to “Stay Local, Eat Global.” For each restaurant—50-plus of them—she guides you through the country’s respective cuisine and suggests a must-try menu item. Think of it as a passport for your palate and make it your mission to devour, or at least try, every single dish. Whether you find a new favorite food or not, you’ll have supported a small business and hopefully walked away with a new understanding and appreciation for a different type of dining. If you’re still hungry for more, flip to our newly expanded Eat & Drink section for a write-up about Milestone’s beloved brunch (page 84); the area’s top pub grub (page 87); and an overview of the coolest coffee shops, including an Italian-inspired café that pumps out some seriously pretty pastries (page 86). In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we present “3 Irish-Inspired Recipes” (page 88), including cookies made with pistachio pudding that are Style-tested and approved (true story: two dozen of them disappeared from our office in mere minutes!) and 7 must-try stouts from area breweries (page 90). And if all the aforementioned food has your stomach making unsavory sounds (everything in moderation, right?), fret not; turn to page 67 for an article about gut health and “The Benefits of Bacteria.” There’s plenty more in the pages that follow, so dig in and make it a March to remember. Cheers!

by KERRIE L. KELLY, FASID<br />
As we get ready for warmer weather and longer,<br />

strategy. Whether you’re overloaded with<br />

papers and prepare for tax season, we have five easy ideas to<br />

1 out with the old<br />
Decluttering isn’t always an easy task. With collected items over the years, it can be<br />
challenging to decide what to keep and what to donate or toss. Author, Netflix star, and<br />
organizing expert, Marie Kondo, has truly made a science of how to assist you. She<br />
suggests starting with an easier level of difficulty and then moving on to the most<br />
difficult. First, declutter your clothes; next, move on to books, papers, and<br />
miscellaneous items, saving your mementos for last. Find items in each of those<br />
categories throughout your home so you know what you truly own. The key is to keep<br />
only the things that "spark joy" and donate, mend, or throw away those that don’t.<br />
2 everything in its place<br />
Once you’ve decided what you want to keep, organizers—in the form of racks, trays,<br />
and boxes—can be a huge help in keeping the space uncluttered. For the kitchen<br />
area, spice racks can assist in maintaining a tidy cupboard. See-through glass storage<br />
containers allow you to have Instagram-worthy pantries and refrigerators, too.<br />
When it comes to closets, matching hangers keep clothes the same height and<br />
make it easier to see all your garments. Shoe organizers are terrific, too, and help<br />
keep your newly clutter-free area organized. Don’t hesitate to use your favorite<br />
fashion boxes for organizing scarves, jewelry, and other special items.<br />
3 appliance attention<br />
We’re typically in the habit of cleaning out our refrigerator periodically or wiping<br />
down the cooktop on occasion, but how many of us clean our dishwasher or<br />
washing machine? They need a little attention, too. To clean out the mildew and soap<br />
scum that can develop in the interior of the washing machine, run an empty cycle<br />
