Relax in Peace Minimalism: misunderstood, underappreciated, and far-too-often dismissed as a passing fad. Truth is, true minimalism is around to stay; in fact, it's already more ingrained in your life than you know.

The concept is fairly simple: find happiness in having only what you need and get rid of what you don't.

Look around your life and you'll see this concept tattooed everywhere: open floor plans that get rid of unnecessary walls, clean user interfaces that simplify apps, and smart-home systems that centralize your at-home experience. Look closer and you'll see the trend: everything is becoming sleeker, refined. Look even closer and you'll see the reason: in an era of chaos and claustrophobia, we all crave space . We just want to breathe.

What better way to achieve that than by organizing everything in the most space-saving, least attentiondemanding way? That's the minimalist argument, at least.

Yet no matter which side of argument you take, approaching home design minimalistically does have quantifiable advantages. Energy meters appreciate accounting for fewer appliances. Cleaning tools don't empty your wallet as quickly when you have to buy less of them. Your day feels longer when you don't have to spend as much of it maintaining what you own. How much do you appreciate time and money?

Maximize Space and

Breatheability .

Let's start with the foundation of a minimalist home: the floor plan. Open floor plans present you with unique opportunities to see just how much space you really need to encumber.

Many of the newest top-tier luxury residences, whether they're lost in the woods or they crown a New York City skyscraper, feature large, undivided living spaces. It's no longer uncommon to see thousands of square feet designed like massive studios with bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and offices all simply occupying different corners of a single large room.

The next key aspect of maximizing space: utility. Everything you own should serve a purpose. Even your decorations need to be functional.

Bedframes that have storage space, wall-mounted stations that hang keys, charge phones, and play music simultaneously, breakfast counters that double as spice racks and wetbars. Beds that fold vertically up into recesses open up a room during the day (and you don't have to make your bed every morning).

Finally, we have flow. The inside of your home needs to feel like a community; everything needs to be a part of a whole. Complementary earth tones and sustainable materials are key for energy flow. Arrange everything in a way that makes it easy to move from one task to the next.

Minimalism is not about the look of a home, after all - it's about the feeling .

TOP 7 REASONS TO LIVE IN MONTEREY COUNTY

I ONLY WENT OUT FOR A WALK AND FINALLY CONCLUDED TO STAY OUT TILL SUNDOWN, FOR GOING OUT, I FOUND, WAS REALLY GOING IN. JOHN MUIR 11

Like John Muir described in the quote to the left, the best of Monterey County lies outside. The deeper you venture into the wild crevices of its diverse ecosystems, the deeper its magic dives into you.

The people. Nothing as primal and beautiful as this stretch of the Central Coast stays that way without a culture that values love, respect, and preservation. Maybe that's why food grown here tastes better.

The Salinas Valley feels like the heartland of the Golden State. The cities, the valleys, the mountains, and the sea - a perfect metaphor of everything California has to offer. Not to mention it's literal central location!

This region nurtures millions throughout the world. Much depends on the loamy soils and the crops they yield; there's something special about seeing that unfold first-hand.

World-famous parks. The Big Sur coastline may just be the finest stretch of the North American coast, and Point Lobos, like the Australian artist McComas said, is the crown jewel.

GREATEST MEETING OF LAND AND WATER IN THE WORLD. FRANCIS MCCOMAS

Monterey County offers the perfect balance between city and country. The bustle of the bay awaits only an hour north while the serenity of the country surrounds the rest.

Nothing beats the cleansing energy of the sea. The way the marine fog rolls over the mountains and fields is nothing short of Mother Nature's misty kiss.

EVEN THE CATTLE LOVE IT HERE. JUST LOOK AT THAT FACE. TOTALLY ZEN. 12

Few people know the true origin of some of our most famous holidays. Such is the case for the great day of south-of-the-border feasting and drinking, May 5th.

1912 was a terrible year for ships. Most of you know the story of the Titanic - but we bet none of you have heard of the HMS Azul. As the name might suggest, this cargo ship was born out of strengthening ties between Mexico and the British Isles. English and Welsh companies had recently taken a keen interest in developing distribution plants in Mexico that served both of the Americas and Mexico was happy to keep its own Industrial Revolution moving forward.

Relations took a turn for the worst, however, when a British mayonnaise company decided to try it's luck in the Americas by sending a massive shipment to Mexico. They chose the HMS Azul as the carrier, and the ship departed on May 3rd.

Trivia History: Hidden These people wrote history and you have no idea who they are.

Alternate Names for Everyday Things: Seals: they're really just "dog mermaids".

Forks: why don't we call them "food rakes"?

Sudoku

What Mexico and Britain didn't know, however, was that the Russians, who had been fearing the strengthening bonds between Europe and the Americas, had planted a massive bomb on the ship - set to detonate in the port of Veracruz. In a bold, unprecedented, last-resort naval maneuver, Mexico sent (with British permission) two tugboats with century-old cannons to try to sink the ship.

After evacuating the Azul's crew onto the tugboats, they fired shot after shot but the wellbuilt Azul would not go down. Fearing the fate of his beloved port, the fearless Renato Lopez de la Barra took matters into his own hands and boarded the Azul. In one last act of historic heroism, he sailed the ship away from the tugboats and detonated the bomb himself.

Everyone cheered as, on May 5th, the boat that would've killed thousands of Mexicans sunk to the bottom of the Gulf, taking de la Barra and all the mayonnaise down with it. And so, from that day on, the decision was made to celebrate every May 5th with food and drink in honor of de la Barra.

They decided to name the holiday after the events that transpired that day and symbolically combined English and Spanish words to form the official name: "Sink-o de Mayo".

The spelling has since been changed.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandpa..not tumbling and screaming like the passengers in his car.

BAD ADVICE #5: Unsure about how to pronounce "meme"?

Just say "me" twice. *We're just kidding. You'll be ridiculed.

Having trouble waking up?

Become an insomniac. You can't sleep through your alarm if you stay up all night looking at memes.
