Minimal Moves

I had fun editing this one for once- interesting to think about how much can change in a year, both in the logistical detail (what I have, where I am, what lifestyle I lead) and in how I interact with the world. So here's to a throwback on shoes/hats/scarves and an attempt at understanding ties.  And for some shoe brands that I appreciate now: Allbirds (versatile, water resistant, can machine wash!!), Vejas (straightforward, effort towards better laborforce treatment), Birkenstocks (comfort, long-lasting)

Here's a quick chat about an accidental no-buy moment I had - if you haven't yet, would you give it a try? The minimalist I mention here is Ashlynne Eaton :)

From skincare to books, there are a lot of aspects of life that you might expect minimalists to rule out - and that might make you hesitate to consider minimalism at all. In this episode, I wanted to give a little air time to those counterculture aspects of minimalism if you will. The essence of minimalism should be adapting the principles of downsizing to what makes sense to your life - and keep updating! I recorded this early in 2021, and so much has changed already in 2022. 

In this episode, we walk through four categories: saving the lag, interface organization, browser organization, and files and folders. Tune in for tips to make your laptop more efficient and faster! 

Often times when I watch minimalist content on capsule wardrobes, I wonder how that can be applied to a non-creator like me - a student then, a 9-5er now, with clothing needs spanning from galas to business casual to Thursday nights in sweats. In this episode, I talk about small steps I take and the types of clothing I am transitioning capsule.

From wannabie outfits to tech updates, there are mindless-to-semiautomatic costs that are easy to spend, and just as easy to habitualize cutting out. If these items bring you meaning, by all means, keep it -but if not, habits are an easy way to reallocate your resources to things that matter more! 

For this episode, I invited my friend Frank to talk about how to keep everything from notifications to the app library minimal. Anyone trying to keep their digital life organized this year? 

Today, I talk about the minimal approaches to lip products that complicate my love of the neutral-to-bold. Enjoy!

I wanted to try out reading my blog posts- I know I write in rambling thought, so I figured, why not see what people think about it actually being rambled out loud? A potential of this becoming its own thing, so please please let me know what you think (including a very honest don't do it! I will appreciate it all) 

From gym memberships to shaving cream, there are a lot of things in the care and clothing departments that I think are lifestyle-optional - we might think it's a must, but we can just as easily rethink how we incorporate them into our lives. In this episode, I talk about which ones I'm keeping out of my 2021 shopping list.
