Minimal Moves

Hi Minimal Moves! From vases to iPads, in this episode, I talk about random things around the household. If you're a plant hater or a plant lover, listen to feel justified or angered (or both?).

I'm excited to bring to you the Making Series, my first ever collaboration where I connect with zero waste/sustainable living creatives. In this episode, Maria from the Uvida Shop shares her experience starting one of the few zero waste stores in Boston as an undergrad. 

Here are some musings about keeping college/young adult and generally minimalist kitchen setups cheap and sustainable! Tea fanatics, pasta lovers, listen on. 

I wanted to sit down and chat a little bit about how hobbies come into play in a minimalist's life, from the tool intensive to merely vocal-cord-requiring (and I swear I use words a little better than that in the episode itself).  Here are some tool-gathering resources I mention: Facebook Marketplace, Buy Nothing/Everything Free Facebook groups (and along those veins: Nextdoor), University center/student organizations/institutes/departments, local libraries, friends and family.

Today I talk through sunblock, foundation, concealer, and other base-coverage thoughts- one of the lasts for the minimal makeup series. Stay tuned for newer series episodes on financials and digital declutter!

In this episode, I walk through my honest typical spending in a week, how that can vary depending on the season (hint: Christmas hikes), and how I keep track of my expenditures.

In this episode, I talk through one of the "rules" that minimalist adopt. The 10/10 rule helps focus on what matters to you in your life and make sure that your spending aligns with your priorities. I'm planning to check in using this rule every couple of years - I hope you find it useful too!

From ThredUp to friend group swaps, there are so many ways you can pick up clothing that is new to you but known to the earth (aka second hand). In this episode, I walk through the various second-hand sale and purchase options, including Depop, Instagram, and craigslist! Which one's your favorite? 

We're back with a minimal makeup episode! This week let's chat about everything cheeky - and I have to give you an update. Since recording this episode, I've caved into picking up my first ever highlight (my justification: it was on like 33% ish off sale and came in funky packaging that I will love forever) and it does barely anything to my look and I'm so happy with it. Also, I've found myself loving glossier more by the month. What's your favorite cheek product?
