Make sure that all these items are not only seated on the counter when guests arrived, in particular these perishable teeth.
"It takes up space in the kitchen and makes it visually more chaotic. Take a minute to store these items and save this counter space!" said Hartman Malarkey.

Just as we don't want our mail to see everyone, we don't want these sensitive documents either. Whether we are working on invoices or taxes, or we have other private papers, let's put them all. Riederman also advises to check your refrigerator, in case something sensitive is up there with a magnet.
