Fridgescaping Is Here: Are You Ready to Decorate Inside Your Refrigerator?

As a middle-aged mom, I've seen my fair share of home organization trends come and go but let me tell you about this latest craze that's taking over social media: fridgescaping. Yes, you heard that right – people are now decorating the insides of their refrigerators! It was only a matter of time.

Fridgescaping isn't exactly new, though. The term was actually coined back in 2011 by blogger Kathy Perdue as a play on "tablescaping". But it's only recently that this trend has exploded on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, with thousands of views on the #fridgescaping hashtag.

So, what exactly is fridgescaping? Well, it's all about turning your fridge into a work of art. People are using clear containers, baskets, and trays to group similar items, making sure labels face forward, and even color-coordinating their produce. Some folks take it to the next level by adding decorative elements like small picture frames, vintage sculptures, or even fresh flowers. It's like scrapbooking, but with your groceries!

Now, I know what you're thinking – who has time for this? But hear me out. As someone who's definitely let food go to waste because I forgot it was hiding in the back of the fridge, I can see the appeal. Organizing everything so beautifully means you can actually see what you have, which might help with meal planning and reducing food waste.

The rise of fridgescaping can be attributed to a few factors. First, there's the whole minimalism and home organization trend that's been popular lately. And honestly, with the cost of groceries lately, why not fill in the empty fridge space with some decor?

Is it practical for everyone? Probably not. If you've got kids or a husband who isn't on board, maintaining that picture-perfect fridge might be a challenge. But you know what? Even if you don't go all out, incorporating a few fridgescaping ideas could make your kitchen feel a bit more special.

So, next time you're putting away groceries, why not have a little fun with it? Who knows, you might just find yourself with a fridge that's not only organized but also Instagram-worthy!

It's spooky season and some of North Carolina's best haunted attractions are right here in Fayetteville! There's some solid science behind the allure of safe, scary adventures. People are drawn to Halloween haunted houses and trails for a variety of psychological and social reasons. The controlled fear experienced in these attractions triggers a rush of adrenaline, endorphins, and dopamine in the brain, creating an exhilarating "fight-or-flight" response without any real danger. This biochemical surge can produce a natural high, similar to the runner's high, leaving people feeling energized and euphoric afterwards.

Haunted houses also offer a form of escapism, allowing people to immerse themselves in fantastical and thrilling scenarios far removed from everyday life. The elaborate sets, costumes, and special effects create a captivating alternate reality.
