Hillside Talks

I have had a capsule wardrobe for 13 years, and I still love it. It makes my everyday so much easier and I take my time finding new pieces. In this episode I share my experiences with number of items, quality, colours and fibers. So lets dive in and talk about our clothes:)

Here are a few videos I did about exactly this - loooong ago on my old YouTube channel:

Doing the detox was really challenging. I'm not going to lie and say it was a walk in the park - but it has given me such a huge payback that I don't ever want to go back to the way things were before. I worry less, I'm less restless. I create more, focus better and sleep better:)

Today we talk about a topic near and dear to many women.. clothes :) I have lived with a minimal wardrobe since I did Project 333 13 years ago and love it. I share how much clothes I have and I share practical ways you can declutter your own clothes. We wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time (!). Think about that fact for a minute... and then dive into decluttering your clothes. Have fun!

I love decluttering and have enjoyed this practice ever since my initial declutter back in 2011. Every time I go through our stuff it frees up some mental space as well, so I want to pass on what Ive learned and try to help you get started in your own home. Happy decluttering:)

I love simplifying. My phone, my day, my travel speed, my budget.. all of it can have a powerfull impact on the way we live our lives. Simplifying and making conscious choices is great, but can also feel lonely, at times. More often than not, we end up doing things differently than people around us. In this episode, I share different ways my little family have simplified over the past 14 years. I Hope you enjoy it.

I made it though one whole month of my digital detox! This is my update on what I have noticed after staying of all non-essential tech for 30 days. For me that looks like: No youtube, no Netflix (or any other streaming for that matter), no checking the news and no social media for a month. Now most of the restlessness is gone and I am able to just be bored:) I am also enjoying my "high quality leisure" a lot.

Summer is in full swing for most of us now! In episode 5 I talked about the power of an "intentional summer", and how we go about rough planning our breaks. In this episode, I give more practical suggestions for strategies for tech, summer reading suggestions, and fun family activities.

I made it though week 2 of my digital detox, where I stay of all non-essential tech for 30 days. For me that looks like: no youtube, no Netflix (or any other streaming for that matter), no checking the news, and no social media. 

I am already feeling the benefits of not checking the news - and staying of youtube is getting easier:)

This episode means a lot to me! The question "How much is enough?" is such a powerful question to ask ourselves - both in handling our possessions and our life choices. What does it take to satisfy us? How much is house is enough? How many shoes are enough, how much travel is enough?
