Thanks okay. I was (and I think a few of us) were taught to not pronounce the h by a misinformed teacher in 5th grade lol. Probably a lost cause at this point.
Good God, woman, that remark nearly fried my brain. English is my second language so I have a hard time fathoming the difference as is :D Even went as far as to check the Greek pronunciation just in case.Thank you for free education
Funny thing, earlier today I got it in my head that I needed an infuser pitcher now and ordered one. I do like water but I also sometimes need a little variety with it. Second, I am not at all "that girl," I am a crotchety old lady so I have zero inclination toward a photo worthy fridge. I have been working toward a well-organized one stocked with nutritious food I can easily make. I do need to chop up the "stick" veggies on weekends so I can just grab them when I am slightly hungry.
My fridge is similar to yours in this video, kind of a halfway between aesthetic and functional. I decided I needed to organize it because we had a ton of food waste every week from leftovers and produce just getting lost in the mess of the fridge and the "aesthetic" of having clear containers and bins and designated zones has really helped. Our leftovers get used or tossed within a reasonable timeframe and we're wasting less money accidentally double buying produce that goes to waste. It has been extremely helpful honestly, a lot more than people realize. I dont know if I'd ever have a 100% tiktok aesthetic fridge but Im happy with where we are.
So glad you made this! I binged fridge vids then zero waste kitchen videos and back to fridge and realized there's rarely fresh produce and if there is, it's not much. Some people don't even have food, just a full-sized drink fridge with snacks lol. Like you said, mostly processed and packaged, exactly what I want to get away from. Definitely not who I want to be. This is "that girl" who eats real foods with space for leftovers, and is conscious of plastic usage. Also, you mentioned the plastic packaging in your crisper drawers. One zero waste content creator graciously said not to dispose of perfectly good plastic just to replace it with reusable, but to let it serve it's purpose since it's there anyway. You nailed it! Thank you for the inspiration!
So glad you broke it down like this, Kay. My fridge is a work in progress but definitely showing signs of improvement. My goal is functional, especially not wasting leftovers, without going overboard with the aesthetics. So the top shelf with glass milk bottles, a clear turntable, and infused water is about as “that girl” as I’m willing to commit myself to. And I do have plastic bins for leftovers, meal prep, etc. Your idea of respecting food has been my goal throughout this process. Your useful and fact-filled content is a breath of fresh air on this platform.
I added a sticky pocket to the front of the crisper drawers and put in labels for ethylene producing and neutrals on one drawer and ethylene sensitive on the second drawer after watching your food science video. The rest of the fridge is either grouped by type or best fit for the space. Consistency is the key to success for me. If I can find something easily I tend to use it up.
I have that egg holder. I was given a gift card to the container store right after Marie condos items came out and I still love my egg holder, every time I look at it I’m happy.
When things are pretty, like your egg container, it very much brings moments of joy into your day. Those moments of joy go a long way into wanting you to interact with that part of the house and do things more in that area, in this case cook. So I think anything you can do to make it so you want to interact more with your fridge more is good. Just make sure it is maintainable and doesn't create more stress, sometimes it is just a simple items like an egg container that makes all the difference.
So much fun! I tried the aesthetic fridge for a week. Lost quite a few vegetables. Now I only have the Progressive salad and berry containers, it is plastic but it keeps my veggies fresh! Kay, you know you have to share the ranch dressing recipe- right?😊😊
I’m so glad that you mentioned the zones and husband/SO lol my spouse refuses to acknowledge and respect fridge zones; they will literally shove leftovers or put stuff back wherever they can find space and when I go to grab something, it’s never where I think it should be! 😂
Yes to all of this! Thank you for not pre-cleaning your fridge and for cutting out as much plastic as possible! This is why you are my favourite organiser. Thanks for keeping it real! All of the “aesthetic” influencers look the same to me. Find what works for you!
My issue with the pretty plastic bins in the fridge is as you use things up, you’re then storing all these empty bins. And I don’t always have the same things in my fridge all the time. I have one plastic fridge bin only and that’s an egg bin. I use it to put hardboiled eggs in so my family can easily distinguish between the hard boiled eggs and regular eggs. That’s it. No other bins aside from the bins and drawers built into the fridge.
I have certain containers for produce that have been washed and ready to eat compared to the produce that has to be cleaned as you eat! That’s about it! There needs to be room for condiments and leftovers, where does the milk go, kool aid, juice! I do keep mine organized but sometimes it just gets to full!
First of all, I love your dog☺️. Second, the answer is no! I couldn’t maintain a that girl fridge. I didn’t last a week, and it’s not because of me. I have a family who is not willing to become that girl. They just kept putting stuff back wherever there is an empty spot in the fridge. I gave up. They want that messy fridge. 😝 on the other hand, I would love bring my healthy life style back but something is holding me back and I don’t know what it is. 😣
Thank you for finally saying what I couldn't put my finger on! I do not buy a lot of processed pre-packaged food. My fridge is stocked with produce, leftovers, eggs, milk and a picture of water. The only thing I could really make "pretty" were the eggs, lol. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this is not realistic for healthy eating. Great video!
I’m so glad you made this video. I have a version of the aesthetics refrigerator but only where it is practical. I have the plastic see through egg containers. I use the containers in the drawers to separate certain vegetables. I wish I had the energy and the desire to do the extensive food prep every week. I draw the line at decanting condiments because it’s kind of wasteful. Big question - where do put the leftovers?
I did the "That Girl" day in a video a while ago too. I did not do the pretty fridge. It's really freaking hard! Your fridge looked very nice and is actually real which I love. I am wishing you the best of luck in your exercising! Here to cheer you on! I want a pretty fridge but I first need to get to where I'm using the food in the fridge before it goes bad. pretty isn't as important.
This was really interesting to watch. While I can never see doing a color-coordinated aesthetic looking fridge I could see doing the prep work ahead. That makes sense. So sorry to hear you have to have surgery. I hope that is a short and sweet recovery.
Loved this video!❤ And no! I do not like or feel it necessary to have that aesthetic fridge. 😁 I do however need a fridge that functions well and able to see my food. I have sections for like items and a designated area for leftovers.. in clear glass. I never decant but have always prepped veggies for the ease of snacks/meals. Thank you for sharing!
Okay this video is truly incredible, a fun realistic approach to attempting more healthy living (I’ve been needing to workout, you gave me that inspo i needed) and with our weekly organic produce it’s hard to keep the fridge organized 😭 loved the idea of making homemade dressings and prepping things, that can help so so much! 🎉
Love the flavored water ideas; I discovered that I prefer room temp water (never enjoyed cold water & struggled to drink it). Really appreciate your eco-friendly storage options, less plastic is my vote ;)
I used antique white enamaleware and square or rectangle shaped glass containers to divide my drawers and store things like lunch meat in deli drawer. I find these shapes untilize the space more efficiently in my smaller refridgerator allowing for more groceries. Also recycled old glass reusable milk jugs to decant milk or orange juice, water from local farmer. Again more uniform shapes helps. Prepping a variety of veggies for a "veggie platter" with ranch dip for fast healthy snacking is a time saver. I appreciate an aestheticly cute vintage, organized and eco friendly, well stocked fridge as im a busy mom and only shop every other week. The time spent organizing my fridge ever other week is time well spent for our busy family.
The pusheen mug! so cute lol love your realistic approach to fridge organizing. I think your science fridge looks very aesthetic the way you normally do it. It helped me to see that having real food stored well in your fridge is more important than a rainbow of junk food!
Loved this realistic take on a strange fad. I'm more into your view of what a fridge is, but to each is own. Less waste and healthier eating should be the goal. Sooooo, I'd love your ranch dressing recipe!! Pleeeease. 🙏 Good luck with the work out regime (and your knees!). I'm always working on it, again and again. "Grow with Jo" has some fun dance workouts, btw.
Yay you did great! That girl trend is awesome! To answer your question, I don’t aspire to have a TikTok fridge but I do want to replace my plastic Tupperware 😄 so once my Tupperware containers break I’ll definitely get only glass and/or silicone. I do aspire to have That Girl workouts though 🤣
First of all... THANK YOU KAY FOR ADDRESSING THAT TIKTOK IS USING THE WORD AESTHETIC INCORRECTLY 🙌 that being said I also accept that it's a lost cause and it'll probably be in Webster with that as meaning number 3 next week 🤣🤣🤣 Secondly...another amazing video 🥰 you know I love me some fridge organization ❤️❤️❤️ btw I was just saying to my girls would you say "that is so "style" 🤷♀️ They were like whatever mom 🤦♀️🤷♀️🤣
I have always loved your fridge videos because there are so many vegetables and nutritious foods. That is our fridge, too. Plus actually storing food in the refrigerator with food science to keep the food fresh, what a concept! 😉 The crisper drawers were not enough room for all the bulk produce, so I bought a set of four clear plastic refrigerator organizing bins about ten years ago. The bins are labeled (meat, dairy, produce, citrus) and great for defrosting meats and corralling irregular shaped or rolling foods. Additionally, we have quality glass pyrex containers for left overs, snacks, and ingredient prepping. Although I don't have all the newest plastic or bamboo organizers, we have a system with what we have had for over a decade and it is working for us. ☺️ So no need for TikTok trends here (although a pitcher with a lid is sure tempting now). Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Great video Kay , I’ve watched those videos as well, refrigerator and those girls on tik tok . Fascinating, I don’t think I’m a That girl , I’m This girl and I’m totally fine with it :)
I'm with you on exercise/ movement - do things you enjoy!! Dance and tai Chi are some of my favorites!! I've just begun doing the Japanese morning exercises early, and then something else later in the day ❤ - Years ago, a friend showed me how to make flower water, using lots of edible flowers and herbs - in a pretty glass pitcher! I store it in bail top liter bottles. - and like you, I Jane lots of real food in my fridge, and use glass for storage when I can.
Mint cucumber water is sooo good with ice and just keep filling it with water all day. It will make you drink water I think you can keep your fridge prepped to your standards. With a family of 4 and leftovers hard to do. Plus we try not give the kids too much processed food ( key word TRY)
I have watched a lot of organizing and lifestyle videos on RUclips, but you are the first REAL person that I have come across. Thank you for being a person and not a Stepford robot!
When I read the title of this video I immediately thought of the Marlo Thomas sit com “That Girl!” Lol!!! I was wondering if you were intending to do a spiff based on that!
hey kay wish you the best of luck on the pre PT for your knee! my husband had two knee surgery's on his knee this past year and some unsolicited tips lol, strengthen the quad muscle, and leg extensions are very important to straightening your knee after surgery especially if you have an MCL tare as well because with those you cannot straighten your knee after surgery for some time if I am correct. Best of luck!!!
I aspire to have a functional fridge which I think is Inherently pleasing to the eye when everything has a place and everything is in its place, although maybe not to the “aesthetic fridge level.”I think it’s super important to have a section for leftovers if you tend to cook a lot and having healthy snacks prepped definitely makes eating healthier easier. I LOVE your videos on how to scientifically organize your fridge to make food last.
I only do "This girl style." I have gone through the years of getting up at 5 in the morning. I manage my day well. I am for real. NO, I don't desire the TikTok refrigerators. I would love to hear you sing. Great video.
🤍‘ed everything about this video. Thank you for thinking of another way to organize your fridge. 👏🏾👍🏾😍 Yes, I do aspire to have an “organized” fridge, and maintain it. 🤩
I'd love to have an "Aesthetic" fridge....but, I live with a husband, daughter and granddaughter who all think food belongs in a different space than I've picked. Now, it's the weekend and, of course, today is the day my fridge gave out. It's only 4 years old!! I have to say....your carrot and celery sticks reminded me of my childhood. Ma always kept a glass of those in the fridge for us to (what she called ) piece on. And, your Ranch dressing looked sooooo good. Mine never tastes like Ranch dressing ....no matter how hard I try....ever.
Nope- I am squarely Team Food Science. Thing is, I am so against food waste that I have a pretty rigorous fridge management system that in the end makes the inside of the fridge look extremely organized and gratifying. Dare I say we can have it all?
I get so overwhelmed by the amount of food in those "aesthetic" fridge videos. Like, sure they're nice, you just dropped like $300 at Costco, but are you going to consume that before it goes off? But I guess with so much of it being processed / prepackaged, they'll last longer. There's still a ton of produce though, even for a bigger family. That's awesome if they do regularly clear the fridge! I need to up my game
No, I do not need a tic toc refrigerator. I just want a clean and organized one, so I can find stuff before it goes bad. I do use mainly glass containers to help save our environment. (I really enjoy your videos. I love your honesty.)
Thanks so much Kay for your fridge videos. Your food science fridge organizing video has helped me so much and I use your ethylene producing printout. P.s love that Pusheen mug! 😆
Hadn’t heard of it, but I’ll never be “that girl” because I will never get up before sun up unless I’m forced to. As it is, I crawl out of bed right before work starts, and “working out” is walking on my treadmill for 30-60 minutes on a good day. But I do love fridge containers primarily because I always have a lot of fruit and veggies, many of which are from my garden.
A tic toc playlist of frig restock, chefs kiss . That can soothe all the anxiety. Love it so much . But no I don’t have or aspire to have myself. I do try to clean and prep fresh food as I buy it . I love a WeCk jar, but I definitely do not have the time or energy for decanting my ketchup.
Oh no! I use one of my pull out drawers for my cold cuts and cheeses. I need to see your fridge video. I did buy some shelf liners at Home Goods that I love. Great video!
I literally don't have aspirations with my fridge 😂 i just want to learn to use the crisper drawers properly. The tiktok fridge just isn't set up for leftovers! I ain't cooking if there aren't leftovers.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! LOL Thank you for being the first person to say that "aesthetic" is being used incorrectly. Drives me CRAZY!!! I want to scream "Aesthetic is NOT a design style". LOL Anyway, I am a lot like you. I have a normal fridge, with normal food that I use to cook with. I don't buy a ton of prepackaged items. I don't care if my refrigerator doesn't look like a rainbow (no offense to those who do...you do you). I can't be a slave to packaging colors. My fridge containers are glass with the snap-on tops. I keep my eggs in the container they came in. The only plastic I have bought for it are two very shallow trays (one to defrost things from the freezer (on the bottom shelf) and another to put things that need to be eaten soon and leftovers on the top). I have a regular refrigerator (top freezer) that isn't tiny, but it's not large either. I wish it looked more dare I say, aesthetically pleasing...but it is what it is. I try to keep my organization to ways that makes my food last longer. That all being said, my freezer...the multi-purpose bins from TCS have been a game changer. Those...some Stashers and a vacuum sealer has made my freeezer a rockstar. And...guess what...I don't feel the need to have anything labeled (blasphemous I know). I figure if I can see what it is...why does it need a label? (Yes, I am the only one living here LOL).
I'm trying to catch up on your videos as I got behind. I wanted to give a shout out to Jetpens as they mentioned your channel in their video today. Of course then I noticed you had another new one!
I would love to see you do a reaction video to Kris Jenner's fridge and Khloe Kardashian's fridge! The new show, on HULU. I want to see your reaction so bad! Also, when you first said "that girl", I was wondering what Marlo Thomas had to do with fridge organization! I'm so old!
Omg, yes! I loved watching that show! It was re-runs,I think, but I loved it! Marlo Thomas with her flipped hair, cute clothes, and apartment, is who I wanted to be.
I have a clear plastic egg container made by iDesign. It comes with a lid that just sits on top, not hinged. I love it. It even holds jumbo sized eggs. It allows me to store something else on top of the container without worrying about breaking an egg. That used to happen when I stored the eggs in their styrofoam container. I assume your problem with plastic is the type that’s not recyclable and ends up in the landfill.
No. You need multiples of the same thing to make that kind of fridge look good and we just don't eat like that. I have basic zones in the fridge for cheese, leftovers, meat, fruit and veg, etc which I stick to. My husband puts things wherever he wants ie. right at the front of the middle shelf. A long time ago I decided that this was not a battle I wanted to fight every time I opened the fridge and now embrace that fun of re-arranging the fridge every time. It takes a few seconds and honestly I get some joy out of making things look right.
HI FIRT KNOWI Ms Kay am out here watching, I see you on Roku so I am lazy and never comment anymore. Thanks for this video it was so good for me. I have worked hard to move on from plastic in my home too. I believe ,,Prep,Habit,balance and mindfulness are the key to our best lives!! Its just not easy to make changes. Did you ever wonder why you can do a habit FOR YEARS and suddenly something disrupts that routine and it is SO SO SO hard to get back to it??? Very good video, I am motivated!
Hi Kay, I love your fridge. I am happy about your life change. Probably by now you already had the surgery and I hope everything went well with that. I love your pup. He is so cute. As for me, I have a problem with grocery shopping. When I was your age and for as long as I was with my family, I had no issues. Everything I bought was consumed. Now that I'm a senior, no matter how much or how little I buy, it's a problem. I buy plenty of non perishables, which means they do not need refrigeration. I used to buy once a month perishables and found it too much since I don't particular care to eat. I eat once a day. So now I have to buy as I consume so the perishables will not spoil. I know there are other issues, but the pinstres fridge would not work for me.
I have absolutely zero interest in TikTok or Pinterest fridge stuff. I do however want to have a fridge that is actually organized, so I am off to go watch your fridge organization video. Also, I LOVE your fridge! I love the drawers and etc. It looks so great for all of the important stuff! Especially love the meat drawer being on the bottom. I have had to dedicate a crisper drawer to my meat in every fridge I have ever had and it SUCKS.
Hi Kay! Always love your videos! Would you be willing to share the ranch dressing recipe you love? EDIT: I also checked your Amazon storefront for the white metal bins you used. Would you recommend them enough to link them? 😊
Your homemade ranch dip looks delicious. I’ve tried homemade ranch recipes before with so-so results. I think I’m not getting a proportion of spices right and then the flavors aren’t melding together into something we love. Would you be willing to share your recipe with us? I loved hearing what worked for you and what didn’t in this video with organizing your fridge this way.
loved your attention to detail in trying this! thank you! I appreciated it. RE:Your knee, are you open to herbal supports? Solomons seal tea or tincture and horsetail tea or tincture is very good for musculo skeletal healing!!! Peace ~ Lottie
I’ve learned so much from your food science tips - thank you! Any suggestions for glass alternatives to the Oxo Pop food storage containers? Love the modular nature of the containers but hoping to minimize plastic food storage. Thank you for making such informative and delightful videos!
Hi, Kay!🤗 Thank you for this video! It was fun to watch. I have a quick question🙋♀️ When you said “this is not how you use “aesthetic,” what did you mean by that? Could you unpack this a bit? Just got me curios🙃
I don’t subscribe to TikTok, nor do I plan on it, but I will aspire to organize my fridge like yours.☺️ Also, would you please post the recipe for that ranch dip you made?
So, how do you store your cut veggies (carrots, celery etc). We're growing veg & always forget to harvest it! Is it just water, does it have to be filtered? Do you know if it leeches vitamins/minerals? Also, does it have to be in sealed jar?
I don’t have a TikTok fridge. We have a side-by-side fridge, so it is sometimes challenging to make everything fit until we eat a few things. I shop once a week, and it does help a lot when I prep the veggies as soon as I get home with the groceries. We only have one crisper drawer, so I keep the apples in the plastic zip bag that they come in, and put it on one of the shelves. I keep the eggs in the carton they come in, because I need to be able to see the expiration date. We have a small drawer on the bottom of the fridge that is labeled “Deli Fresh” but that is my secret backstock. The two men in the house would never open that drawer, because it is out of sight. I keep extra butter, ricotta, salami, so we don’t run out. There is a drawer in the middle, labeled “snack pan” and I keep the deli meat and cheese, plus tortillas, so it’s easy to make lunches. It may not be the best zone technically, but when I put them in the bottom drawer, the don’t get eaten. The thing that surprises me in most of the lovely fridge videos, is no one seems to drink anything. Our top shelf has 3-4 half gallons of milk, two bottles of oat milk, and two pitchers of water that we use at lunch and dinner. Hubby has a couple large bottles of lemonade and one shelf of the door has iced green tea. The freezer side looks pretty good, because there are more packaged items. I try not to overbuy because we live within a couple miles of about 10 grocery stores, so I don’t worry about shortages. I can keep things more organized and use them before they expire if I don’t overbuy. I need to get back to exercising too. I just dusted off the rowing machine so I can start tomorrow.
I am conflicted about all of this. I live alone and that is a whole different lifestyle. I have too much waste. I am tempted to eat out whenever I feel the urge. I think this all boils down to self discipline and that is tough to control when no one is around to “remind” you that the fridge smells like a garbage can and no one is there to help eat leftovers.
We’re best friends in my head. I remember you making fun of “aesthetic” fridges a while back and I instantly subscribed. And when someone said to me “it’s aesthetic” I looked so confused at her. I was like, “do you mean aesthetically pleasing?” It didn’t go well after that. I’m only a few minutes in and I’m over here cracking up. 😂 🗣Correct them please!
Kay, I love it when your nerd comes out!🤣. “Aesthetic” fridge. Unless there is a house of 8, those videos are not realistic. Who buys that much food just to make your fridge look like a rainbow? Agree, a lot of prepackaged food. I don’t want to be “that girl”, I just want to be me.
Next video should be the that girl laundry room. Decant all your detergents and bleach into glass containers. Use colorful laundry pods and scent beads. Then put a chandelier on the ceiling and paint the walls gray.
The aesthetic fridges are nice to look at - but wouldn’t be practical for us. I can’t do the heavy glass containers. I like the look of them and the fact they aren’t plastics. They’re too heavy for me. I feel too insecure handling them. Small hands, numbness in fingers on one hand, weak wrists. I’ve dropped them before. But, our fridge is organized. Top shelf: beverages and leftovers in (square & rectangular stackable containers). 2nd shelf: milk, ice tea, bin holding cottage cheese, sliced peaches, applesauce, celery sticks. 3rd shelf: eggs, cooked bacon, bin holding drinks for my mother. Drawer: cheeses, lunch meats Drawer: fresh produce Drawer: meats for the next few days plus hot dos and sausage. Door shelf-closed: butters, cream cheese Door shelf: condiments - Mayo, mustards, relish, sour cream Door shelf: sweet condiments: chocolate syrup, Redi-Whip, strawberry preserves, Door shelf: salad condiments and add-ins: salad dressing, salad peppers, roasted bell peppers, olives, lemon juice. Door shelf: pickles whole, spear, chips. and carbonated sparkling water.
I love your videos!!! So I noticed you cut the carrots and placed them in the fridge with water vs nothing. Does that help it last longer? I thought it would start rooting. Anyway, I did see your other video first on “zones” and will go back and rewatch it. My soon to be 27-yr old lives with me so who knows what it will look like afterwards but I will give it a try.
I wish that I could do something like this with my fridge. We have a smaller fridge (that looks like it is a larger fridge) with side-by-side doors and it always seems that any solution that I try to implement, never works out because of the lack of space. Kay... It would be great if you could do a video something like this, but using a smaller fridge. I would love the inspiration!
I have about 5 things in my fridge. Not exactly aesthetically pleasing to my tummy! 😂 jk but I can’t ever be That Girl. I do not care and I hate fuss. No one else sees it. 😝 Watching while drinking my cucumber water. I have a big water bottle with the inside attachment and it’s great!! Your water sounds delicious! Btw what workout videos did you watch that you enjoyed?? I need to start and miss dancing. 🕺🏻
Thank God finally someone said it. Looked pretty unrealistic to me to be honest and I thought its not something we should promote. Loving that you are talking sense
I'm so not about that fancy fridge life. My fridge is older, narrow and small. The Home Edit type bins won't even fit. Plus I don't understand the need to do this. Your video on food storage science was brilliant and I understood it. That made sense. I had no idea that was even a thing. I like aspects of "that girl" lifestyle like the fitness/wellness components but the rest, no thanks. Looks like a giant waste and a popularity contest. I'm glad you did this. It was fun to watch💚💛🧡😊.
I am so with you ... pre-packaged food and tons of pouches and stuff ... not only are they easy to organise, they're most probably not even healthy. I do use clear containers, but they are clear because they are made of glass. I don't like plastic containers. They're not hygienic. Maybe, after having tried the "that girl" way, you might want to try the "Korean" way - that's how I store food. This involves prepping, cutting, wooden sticks, kitchen paper, wax paper etc. And, btw, this way of storing is not necessarily looking unorganised or ugly. The inside of my fridge is pretty 😁
The TH in "aesthetic" is pronounced like the TH in "theater," not like a T. Almost every RUclipsr gets this wrong.
Thanks okay. I was (and I think a few of us) were taught to not pronounce the h by a misinformed teacher in 5th grade lol. Probably a lost cause at this point.
@@TheOrganizedSoprano Ah, the things we were mis-taught in 5th grade!
your take away from this whole video was the TH????
Good God, woman, that remark nearly fried my brain. English is my second language so I have a hard time fathoming the difference as is :D Even went as far as to check the Greek pronunciation just in case.Thank you for free education
Also, every single Irish person seems to be getting it wrong too, but it's not like they can handle TH in general :D
Funny thing, earlier today I got it in my head that I needed an infuser pitcher now and ordered one. I do like water but I also sometimes need a little variety with it. Second, I am not at all "that girl," I am a crotchety old lady so I have zero inclination toward a photo worthy fridge. I have been working toward a well-organized one stocked with nutritious food I can easily make. I do need to chop up the "stick" veggies on weekends so I can just grab them when I am slightly hungry.
My fridge is similar to yours in this video, kind of a halfway between aesthetic and functional. I decided I needed to organize it because we had a ton of food waste every week from leftovers and produce just getting lost in the mess of the fridge and the "aesthetic" of having clear containers and bins and designated zones has really helped. Our leftovers get used or tossed within a reasonable timeframe and we're wasting less money accidentally double buying produce that goes to waste. It has been extremely helpful honestly, a lot more than people realize. I dont know if I'd ever have a 100% tiktok aesthetic fridge but Im happy with where we are.
So glad you made this! I binged fridge vids then zero waste kitchen videos and back to fridge and realized there's rarely fresh produce and if there is, it's not much. Some people don't even have food, just a full-sized drink fridge with snacks lol. Like you said, mostly processed and packaged, exactly what I want to get away from. Definitely not who I want to be. This is "that girl" who eats real foods with space for leftovers, and is conscious of plastic usage. Also, you mentioned the plastic packaging in your crisper drawers. One zero waste content creator graciously said not to dispose of perfectly good plastic just to replace it with reusable, but to let it serve it's purpose since it's there anyway. You nailed it! Thank you for the inspiration!
So glad you broke it down like this, Kay. My fridge is a work in progress but definitely showing signs of improvement. My goal is functional, especially not wasting leftovers, without going overboard with the aesthetics. So the top shelf with glass milk bottles, a clear turntable, and infused water is about as “that girl” as I’m willing to commit myself to. And I do have plastic bins for leftovers, meal prep, etc. Your idea of respecting food has been my goal throughout this process. Your useful and fact-filled content is a breath of fresh air on this platform.
I added a sticky pocket to the front of the crisper drawers and put in labels for ethylene producing and neutrals on one drawer and ethylene sensitive on the second drawer after watching your food science video. The rest of the fridge is either grouped by type or best fit for the space. Consistency is the key to success for me. If I can find something easily I tend to use it up.
I have that egg holder. I was given a gift card to the container store right after Marie condos items came out and I still love my egg holder, every time I look at it I’m happy.
When things are pretty, like your egg container, it very much brings moments of joy into your day. Those moments of joy go a long way into wanting you to interact with that part of the house and do things more in that area, in this case cook. So I think anything you can do to make it so you want to interact more with your fridge more is good. Just make sure it is maintainable and doesn't create more stress, sometimes it is just a simple items like an egg container that makes all the difference.
I like the way you think.
So much fun! I tried the aesthetic fridge for a week. Lost quite a few vegetables. Now I only have the Progressive salad and berry containers, it is plastic but it keeps my veggies fresh! Kay, you know you have to share the ranch dressing recipe- right?😊😊
This is so cute. I’ve been waking up early working out and journaling. But I’m going to look up an actual that girl routine and follow it. Thanks.
I’m so glad that you mentioned the zones and husband/SO lol my spouse refuses to acknowledge and respect fridge zones; they will literally shove leftovers or put stuff back wherever they can find space and when I go to grab something, it’s never where I think it should be! 😂
Yes to all of this! Thank you for not pre-cleaning your fridge and for cutting out as much plastic as possible! This is why you are my favourite organiser. Thanks for keeping it real! All of the “aesthetic” influencers look the same to me. Find what works for you!
My issue with the pretty plastic bins in the fridge is as you use things up, you’re then storing all these empty bins. And I don’t always have the same things in my fridge all the time. I have one plastic fridge bin only and that’s an egg bin. I use it to put hardboiled eggs in so my family can easily distinguish between the hard boiled eggs and regular eggs. That’s it. No other bins aside from the bins and drawers built into the fridge.
I keep fruits and veggies in take-out containers. Fancy things aren't necessary.
I have certain containers for produce that have been washed and ready to eat compared to the produce that has to be cleaned as you eat! That’s about it! There needs to be room for condiments and leftovers, where does the milk go, kool aid, juice! I do keep mine organized but sometimes it just gets to full!
First of all, I love your dog☺️. Second, the answer is no! I couldn’t maintain a that girl fridge. I didn’t last a week, and it’s not because of me. I have a family who is not willing to become that girl. They just kept putting stuff back wherever there is an empty spot in the fridge. I gave up. They want that messy fridge. 😝 on the other hand, I would love bring my healthy life style back but something is holding me back and I don’t know what it is. 😣
Thank you for finally saying what I couldn't put my finger on! I do not buy a lot of processed pre-packaged food. My fridge is stocked with produce, leftovers, eggs, milk and a picture of water. The only thing I could really make "pretty" were the eggs, lol. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this is not realistic for healthy eating. Great video!
Great job. It was good to see a refrigerator that looked good and was actually functional. AND did not involved buying a ton of plastic containers.
The containers you chose are beautiful. Thank you for reminding me to prep carrot & celery sticks!
you have the sweetest disposition...youre adorable!
I’m so glad you made this video. I have a version of the aesthetics refrigerator but only where it is practical. I have the plastic see through egg containers. I use the containers in the drawers to separate certain vegetables. I wish I had the energy and the desire to do the extensive food prep every week. I draw the line at decanting condiments because it’s kind of wasteful. Big question - where do put the leftovers?
I did the "That Girl" day in a video a while ago too. I did not do the pretty fridge. It's really freaking hard! Your fridge looked very nice and is actually real which I love. I am wishing you the best of luck in your exercising! Here to cheer you on! I want a pretty fridge but I first need to get to where I'm using the food in the fridge before it goes bad. pretty isn't as important.
How does "That Girl" not refer to Marlo Thomas anymore? ;)
It TOTALLY refers to Marlo Thomas, the only That Girl
I was wondering the same thing. I guess we're showing our age!
I never saw “That Girl,” but based on “The Nanny,” I’m guessing that the modern “That Girl” is the same “effortlessly perfect” character. 😊
Such a fun video. All the nope on the fridge. I just want it to be clean, functional and organized, in that I can find what I'm looking for.
This was really interesting to watch. While I can never see doing a color-coordinated aesthetic looking fridge I could see doing the prep work ahead. That makes sense. So sorry to hear you have to have surgery. I hope that is a short and sweet recovery.
Loved this video!❤
And no! I do not like or feel it necessary to have that aesthetic fridge. 😁
I do however need a fridge that functions well and able to see my food. I have sections for like items and a designated area for leftovers.. in clear glass. I never decant but have always prepped veggies for the ease of snacks/meals.
Thank you for sharing!
Okay this video is truly incredible, a fun realistic approach to attempting more healthy living (I’ve been needing to workout, you gave me that inspo i needed) and with our weekly organic produce it’s hard to keep the fridge organized 😭 loved the idea of making homemade dressings and prepping things, that can help so so much! 🎉

ooo
Love the flavored water ideas; I discovered that I prefer room temp water (never enjoyed cold water & struggled to drink it). Really appreciate your eco-friendly storage options, less plastic is my vote ;)
I used antique white enamaleware and square or rectangle shaped glass containers to divide my drawers and store things like lunch meat in deli drawer. I find these shapes untilize the space more efficiently in my smaller refridgerator allowing for more groceries. Also recycled old glass reusable milk jugs to decant milk or orange juice, water from local farmer. Again more uniform shapes helps. Prepping a variety of veggies for a "veggie platter" with ranch dip for fast healthy snacking is a time saver. I appreciate an aestheticly cute vintage, organized and eco friendly, well stocked fridge as im a busy mom and only shop every other week. The time spent organizing my fridge ever other week is time well spent for our busy family.
Off topic but the music when you were cleaning you fridge was amazing!!
That “aight, I’m up. It’s 5:30 in the morning” 💀 I was like “girl, noooo!” Lol
Good advice regarding the leftovers zone.👍🏼😁
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I love your way of organizing the refrigerator!!!!
The pusheen mug! so cute lol
love your realistic approach to fridge organizing. I think your science fridge looks very aesthetic the way you normally do it. It helped me to see that having real food stored well in your fridge is more important than a rainbow of junk food!
I don't think I could ever do the full aesthetic fridge, but I do like the idea of that infused water!! Might be trying that this week!
I only use glass containers, even in the fridge. Great video. I like your science way of organizing the fridge, I learned with you
Loved this realistic take on a strange fad. I'm more into your view of what a fridge is, but to each is own. Less waste and healthier eating should be the goal. Sooooo, I'd love your ranch dressing recipe!! Pleeeease. 🙏
Good luck with the work out regime (and your knees!). I'm always working on it, again and again. "Grow with Jo" has some fun dance workouts, btw.
Yay you did great! That girl trend is awesome! To answer your question, I don’t aspire to have a TikTok fridge but I do want to replace my plastic Tupperware 😄 so once my Tupperware containers break I’ll definitely get only glass and/or silicone. I do aspire to have That Girl workouts though 🤣
First of all... THANK YOU KAY FOR ADDRESSING THAT TIKTOK IS USING THE WORD AESTHETIC INCORRECTLY 🙌 that being said I also accept that it's a lost cause and it'll probably be in Webster with that as meaning number 3 next week 🤣🤣🤣 Secondly...another amazing video 🥰 you know I love me some fridge organization ❤️❤️❤️ btw I was just saying to my girls would you say "that is so "style" 🤷♀️ They were like whatever mom 🤦♀️🤷♀️🤣
Also thanks for remembering that we need clover footage 🤣 my giant lou doodle enjoys it too
I have always loved your fridge videos because there are so many vegetables and nutritious foods. That is our fridge, too. Plus actually storing food in the refrigerator with food science to keep the food fresh, what a concept! 😉 The crisper drawers were not enough room for all the bulk produce, so I bought a set of four clear plastic refrigerator organizing bins about ten years ago. The bins are labeled (meat, dairy, produce, citrus) and great for defrosting meats and corralling irregular shaped or rolling foods. Additionally, we have quality glass pyrex containers for left overs, snacks, and ingredient prepping. Although I don't have all the newest plastic or bamboo organizers, we have a system with what we have had for over a decade and it is working for us. ☺️ So no need for TikTok trends here (although a pitcher with a lid is sure tempting now). Thanks for sharing your experience with us.
I need help with food science to keep my food fresh. Someone please help. Kay, make a video please, if you haven’t already.
Great video Kay , I’ve watched those videos as well, refrigerator and those girls on tik tok . Fascinating, I don’t think I’m a That girl , I’m This girl and I’m totally fine with it :)
I love that! I'm This girl!
I'm with you on exercise/ movement - do things you enjoy!! Dance and tai Chi are some of my favorites!! I've just begun doing the Japanese morning exercises early, and then something else later in the day ❤
- Years ago, a friend showed me how to make flower water, using lots of edible flowers and herbs - in a pretty glass pitcher! I store it in bail top liter bottles.
- and like you, I Jane lots of real food in my fridge, and use glass for storage when I can.
Mint cucumber water is sooo good with ice and just keep filling it with water all day. It will make you drink water
I think you can keep your fridge prepped to your standards. With a family of 4 and leftovers hard to do. Plus we try not give the kids too much processed food ( key word TRY)
I have watched a lot of organizing and lifestyle videos on RUclips, but you are the first REAL person that I have come across. Thank you for being a person and not a Stepford robot!
When I read the title of this video I immediately thought of the Marlo Thomas sit com “That Girl!” Lol!!! I was wondering if you were intending to do a spiff based on that!
hey kay wish you the best of luck on the pre PT for your knee! my husband had two knee surgery's on his knee this past year and some unsolicited tips lol, strengthen the quad muscle, and leg extensions are very important to straightening your knee after surgery especially if you have an MCL tare as well because with those you cannot straighten your knee after surgery for some time if I am correct. Best of luck!!!
I aspire to have a functional fridge which I think is Inherently pleasing to the eye when everything has a place and everything is in its place, although maybe not to the “aesthetic fridge level.”I think it’s super important to have a section for leftovers if you tend to cook a lot and having healthy snacks prepped definitely makes eating healthier easier. I LOVE your videos on how to scientifically organize your fridge to make food last.
I would love to have a pretty and organized fridge but I live with too many people and they don’t put things back in their zones lol.
I only do "This girl style." I have gone through the years of getting up at 5 in the morning. I manage my day well. I am for real. NO, I don't desire the TikTok refrigerators. I would love to hear you sing. Great video.
🤍‘ed everything about this video. Thank you for thinking of another way to organize your fridge. 👏🏾👍🏾😍
Yes, I do aspire to have an “organized” fridge, and maintain it. 🤩
I'd love to have an "Aesthetic" fridge....but, I live with a husband, daughter and granddaughter who all think food belongs in a different space than I've picked. Now, it's the weekend and, of course, today is the day my fridge gave out. It's only 4 years old!! I have to say....your carrot and celery sticks reminded me of my childhood. Ma always kept a glass of those in the fridge for us to (what she called ) piece on. And, your Ranch dressing looked sooooo good. Mine never tastes like Ranch dressing ....no matter how hard I try....ever.
Nope- I am squarely Team Food Science. Thing is, I am so against food waste that I have a pretty rigorous fridge management system that in the end makes the inside of the fridge look extremely organized and gratifying. Dare I say we can have it all?
Yes!! This!
I get so overwhelmed by the amount of food in those "aesthetic" fridge videos. Like, sure they're nice, you just dropped like $300 at Costco, but are you going to consume that before it goes off? But I guess with so much of it being processed / prepackaged, they'll last longer. There's still a ton of produce though, even for a bigger family. That's awesome if they do regularly clear the fridge! I need to up my game
No, I do not need a tic toc refrigerator. I just want a clean and organized one, so I can find stuff before it goes bad. I do use mainly glass containers to help save our environment. (I really enjoy your videos. I love your honesty.)
Thank you so much for pointing out all the plastic 😩
Thanks so much Kay for your fridge videos. Your food science fridge organizing video has helped me so much and I use your ethylene producing printout.
P.s love that Pusheen mug! 😆
Hadn’t heard of it, but I’ll never be “that girl” because I will never get up before sun up unless I’m forced to. As it is, I crawl out of bed right before work starts, and “working out” is walking on my treadmill for 30-60 minutes on a good day. But I do love fridge containers primarily because I always have a lot of fruit and veggies, many of which are from my garden.
A tic toc playlist of frig restock, chefs kiss . That can soothe all the anxiety. Love it so much . But no I don’t have or aspire to have myself. I do try to clean and prep fresh food as I buy it . I love a WeCk jar, but I definitely do not have the time or energy for decanting my ketchup.
Oh no! I use one of my pull out drawers for my cold cuts and cheeses. I need to see your fridge video. I did buy some shelf liners at Home Goods that I love. Great video!
OMG looveeee your " that girl workout" in fast mode. Made my day!!!!
I literally don't have aspirations with my fridge 😂 i just want to learn to use the crisper drawers properly. The tiktok fridge just isn't set up for leftovers! I ain't cooking if there aren't leftovers.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! LOL Thank you for being the first person to say that "aesthetic" is being used incorrectly. Drives me CRAZY!!! I want to scream "Aesthetic is NOT a design style". LOL Anyway, I am a lot like you. I have a normal fridge, with normal food that I use to cook with. I don't buy a ton of prepackaged items. I don't care if my refrigerator doesn't look like a rainbow (no offense to those who do...you do you). I can't be a slave to packaging colors. My fridge containers are glass with the snap-on tops. I keep my eggs in the container they came in. The only plastic I have bought for it are two very shallow trays (one to defrost things from the freezer (on the bottom shelf) and another to put things that need to be eaten soon and leftovers on the top). I have a regular refrigerator (top freezer) that isn't tiny, but it's not large either. I wish it looked more dare I say, aesthetically pleasing...but it is what it is. I try to keep my organization to ways that makes my food last longer. That all being said, my freezer...the multi-purpose bins from TCS have been a game changer. Those...some Stashers and a vacuum sealer has made my freeezer a rockstar. And...guess what...I don't feel the need to have anything labeled (blasphemous I know). I figure if I can see what it is...why does it need a label? (Yes, I am the only one living here LOL).
I'm trying to catch up on your videos as I got behind. I wanted to give a shout out to Jetpens as they mentioned your channel in their video today. Of course then I noticed you had another new one!
Great video!! It did look like a lot of vegetable chopping. At least you had prepared ahead delicious food!
I would love to see you do a reaction video to Kris Jenner's fridge and Khloe Kardashian's fridge! The new show, on HULU. I want to see your reaction so bad!
Also, when you first said "that girl", I was wondering what Marlo Thomas had to do with fridge organization! I'm so old!
Lol. you're not alone I thought the same thing. we are definitely showing our age.
Omg, yes! I loved watching that show! It was re-runs,I think, but I loved it! Marlo Thomas with her flipped hair, cute clothes, and apartment, is who I wanted to be.
Agree ! So much processed and packaged food, and yes, can't deal with the stackable containers...not at all practical
I have a clear plastic egg container made by iDesign. It comes with a lid that just sits on top, not hinged. I love it. It even holds jumbo sized eggs. It allows me to store something else on top of the container without worrying about breaking an egg. That used to happen when I stored the eggs in their styrofoam container. I assume your problem with plastic is the type that’s not recyclable and ends up in the landfill.
No. You need multiples of the same thing to make that kind of fridge look good and we just don't eat like that. I have basic zones in the fridge for cheese, leftovers, meat, fruit and veg, etc which I stick to. My husband puts things wherever he wants ie. right at the front of the middle shelf. A long time ago I decided that this was not a battle I wanted to fight every time I opened the fridge and now embrace that fun of re-arranging the fridge every time. It takes a few seconds and honestly I get some joy out of making things look right.
I prefer your fridge than theses other girls Lol thank you for this video I kept laughing when u kept saying “that girl “ Great video
HI FIRT KNOWI Ms Kay am out here watching, I see you on Roku so I am lazy and never comment anymore. Thanks for this video it was so good for me. I have worked hard to move on from plastic in my home too. I believe ,,Prep,Habit,balance and mindfulness are the key to our best lives!! Its just not easy to make changes. Did you ever wonder why you can do a habit FOR YEARS and suddenly something disrupts that routine and it is SO SO SO hard to get back to it??? Very good video, I am motivated!
Eco friendly! I never thought of that !
Hi Kay, I love your fridge. I am happy about your life change. Probably by now you already had the surgery and I hope everything went well with that. I love your pup. He is so cute. As for me, I have a problem with grocery shopping. When I was your age and for as long as I was with my family, I had no issues. Everything I bought was consumed. Now that I'm a senior, no matter how much or how little I buy, it's a problem. I buy plenty of non perishables, which means they do not need refrigeration. I used to buy once a month perishables and found it too much since I don't particular care to eat. I eat once a day. So now I have to buy as I consume so the perishables will not spoil. I know there are other issues, but the pinstres fridge would not work for me.
I have absolutely zero interest in TikTok or Pinterest fridge stuff. I do however want to have a fridge that is actually organized, so I am off to go watch your fridge organization video. Also, I LOVE your fridge! I love the drawers and etc. It looks so great for all of the important stuff! Especially love the meat drawer being on the bottom. I have had to dedicate a crisper drawer to my meat in every fridge I have ever had and it SUCKS.
Oh come on; that girl is Marlo Thomas 😹😹😹
Hi Kay! Always love your videos! Would you be willing to share the ranch dressing recipe you love?
EDIT: I also checked your Amazon storefront for the white metal bins you used. Would you recommend them enough to link them? 😊
Haha, I came to comments to see who wanted the dip recipes too. 😄 @theorganizedsoprano we'd love to try your dip recipes ❤️💯 please share 😁
Here ya go! showmetheyummy.com/homemade-greek-yogurt-ranch-dressing/
@@TheOrganizedSoprano thank you Kay!
Your homemade ranch dip looks delicious. I’ve tried homemade ranch recipes before with so-so results. I think I’m not getting a proportion of spices right and then the flavors aren’t melding together into something we love. Would you be willing to share your recipe with us? I loved hearing what worked for you and what didn’t in this video with organizing your fridge this way.
loved your attention to detail in trying this! thank you! I appreciated it. RE:Your knee, are you open to herbal supports? Solomons seal tea or tincture and horsetail tea or tincture is very good for musculo skeletal healing!!! Peace ~ Lottie
Herbal supports are cool but my orthopedist still needs in lol
I’ve learned so much from your food science tips - thank you! Any suggestions for glass alternatives to the Oxo Pop food storage containers? Love the modular nature of the containers but hoping to minimize plastic food storage. Thank you for making such informative and delightful videos!
You are so funny. I totally enjoy watching your videos. I learn a lot from you with organizing while also being entertained at the same time lol 😂
Hi, Kay!🤗 Thank you for this video! It was fun to watch. I have a quick question🙋♀️ When you said “this is not how you use “aesthetic,” what did you mean by that? Could you unpack this a bit? Just got me curios🙃
I don’t subscribe to TikTok, nor do I plan on it, but I will aspire to organize my fridge like yours.☺️ Also, would you please post the recipe for that ranch dip you made?
Clover is adorable 🥰🥰
So, how do you store your cut veggies (carrots, celery etc). We're growing veg & always forget to harvest it!
Is it just water, does it have to be filtered? Do you know if it leeches vitamins/minerals?
Also, does it have to be in sealed jar?
The carrots and celery should be okay in regular water for a week. I don’t think too many nutrients leech out. I learned this from Downshiftology!
@@TheOrganizedSoprano thank you! I'm definitely being "that girl" for snacks next week.
Wrap carrots and celery in a damp cloth
I don’t have a TikTok fridge. We have a side-by-side fridge, so it is sometimes challenging to make everything fit until we eat a few things. I shop once a week, and it does help a lot when I prep the veggies as soon as I get home with the groceries.
We only have one crisper drawer, so I keep the apples in the plastic zip bag that they come in, and put it on one of the shelves. I keep the eggs in the carton they come in, because I need to be able to see the expiration date. We have a small drawer on the bottom of the fridge that is labeled “Deli Fresh” but that is my secret backstock. The two men in the house would never open that drawer, because it is out of sight. I keep extra butter, ricotta, salami, so we don’t run out. There is a drawer in the middle, labeled “snack pan” and I keep the deli meat and cheese, plus tortillas, so it’s easy to make lunches. It may not be the best zone technically, but when I put them in the bottom drawer, the don’t get eaten.
The thing that surprises me in most of the lovely fridge videos, is no one seems to drink anything. Our top shelf has 3-4 half gallons of milk, two bottles of oat milk, and two pitchers of water that we use at lunch and dinner. Hubby has a couple large bottles of lemonade and one shelf of the door has iced green tea.
The freezer side looks pretty good, because there are more packaged items. I try not to overbuy because we live within a couple miles of about 10 grocery stores, so I don’t worry about shortages. I can keep things more organized and use them before they expire if I don’t overbuy.
I need to get back to exercising too. I just dusted off the rowing machine so I can start tomorrow.
I am conflicted about all of this. I live alone and that is a whole different lifestyle. I have too much waste. I am tempted to eat out whenever I feel the urge. I think this all boils down to self discipline and that is tough to control when no one is around to “remind” you that the fridge smells like a garbage can and no one is there to help eat leftovers.
I could not stop laughing when you said
you are a camel, lol
We’re best friends in my head. I remember you making fun of “aesthetic” fridges a while back and I instantly subscribed. And when someone said to me “it’s aesthetic” I looked so confused at her. I was like, “do you mean aesthetically pleasing?” It didn’t go well after that. I’m only a few minutes in and I’m over here cracking up. 😂 🗣Correct them please!
Kay, I love it when your nerd comes out!🤣. “Aesthetic” fridge. Unless there is a house of 8, those videos are not realistic. Who buys that much food just to make your fridge look like a rainbow? Agree, a lot of prepackaged food. I don’t want to be “that girl”, I just want to be me.
Hi Wee One! 🐶 Inspiring prep work. Good luck with the surgery. Sending healing thoughts. ❤️🩹
" you don't really put tomatoes in the fridge " ... i KNEW there was a reason to luv you
Next video should be the that girl laundry room. Decant all your detergents and bleach into glass containers. Use colorful laundry pods and scent beads. Then put a chandelier on the ceiling and paint the walls gray.
🤣
😂
😂
The aesthetic fridges are nice to look at - but wouldn’t be practical for us. I can’t do the heavy glass containers. I like the look of them and the fact they aren’t plastics. They’re too heavy for me. I feel too insecure handling them. Small hands, numbness in fingers on one hand, weak wrists. I’ve dropped them before. But, our fridge is organized.
Top shelf: beverages and leftovers in (square & rectangular stackable containers).
2nd shelf: milk, ice tea, bin holding cottage cheese, sliced peaches, applesauce, celery sticks.
3rd shelf: eggs, cooked bacon, bin holding drinks for my mother.
Drawer: cheeses, lunch meats
Drawer: fresh produce
Drawer: meats for the next few days plus hot dos and sausage.
Door shelf-closed: butters, cream cheese
Door shelf: condiments - Mayo, mustards, relish, sour cream
Door shelf: sweet condiments: chocolate syrup, Redi-Whip, strawberry preserves,
Door shelf: salad condiments and add-ins: salad dressing, salad peppers, roasted bell peppers, olives, lemon juice.
Door shelf: pickles whole, spear, chips. and carbonated sparkling water.
I love your videos!!! So I noticed you cut the carrots and placed them in the fridge with water vs nothing. Does that help it last longer? I thought it would start rooting. Anyway, I did see your other video first on “zones” and will go back and rewatch it. My soon to be 27-yr old lives with me so who knows what it will look like afterwards but I will give it a try.
Not me thinking "That Girl" was a brand name ever since you first mentioned it. 😂 I feel so out of the tiktok loop.
Wow, wish we lived closer. You say what I think. Great thoughts.
I wish that I could do something like this with my fridge. We have a smaller fridge (that looks like it is a larger fridge) with side-by-side doors and it always seems that any solution that I try to implement, never works out because of the lack of space. Kay... It would be great if you could do a video something like this, but using a smaller fridge. I would love the inspiration!
Looks nice!
That Girl was a TVshow in the 60s staring Marlo Thomas, an unmarried career girl.
I have about 5 things in my fridge. Not exactly aesthetically pleasing to my tummy! 😂 jk but I can’t ever be That Girl. I do not care and I hate fuss. No one else sees it. 😝 Watching while drinking my cucumber water. I have a big water bottle with the inside attachment and it’s great!! Your water sounds delicious! Btw what workout videos did you watch that you enjoyed?? I need to start and miss dancing. 🕺🏻
Thank God finally someone said it. Looked pretty unrealistic to me to be honest and I thought its not something we should promote. Loving that you are talking sense
I'm so not about that fancy fridge life. My fridge is older, narrow and small. The Home Edit type bins won't even fit. Plus I don't understand the need to do this. Your video on food storage science was brilliant and I understood it. That made sense. I had no idea that was even a thing. I like aspects of "that girl" lifestyle like the fitness/wellness components but the rest, no thanks. Looks like a giant waste and a popularity contest. I'm glad you did this. It was fun to watch💚💛🧡😊.
I am so with you ... pre-packaged food and tons of pouches and stuff ... not only are they easy to organise, they're most probably not even healthy. I do use clear containers, but they are clear because they are made of glass. I don't like plastic containers. They're not hygienic. Maybe, after having tried the "that girl" way, you might want to try the "Korean" way - that's how I store food. This involves prepping, cutting, wooden sticks, kitchen paper, wax paper etc. And, btw, this way of storing is not necessarily looking unorganised or ugly. The inside of my fridge is pretty 😁
🙏🏾🙏🏾for the video. ❤️❤️.
