Interview with a Minimalist: Ksenia

:: danielle :: — Wed, 27 Jul 2016 09:42:52 +0000

Somedays, some posts, I worry that I’m a broken record. I just keep saying “minimalism isn’t about stuff, it’s so much more” (with emphasis on the emotional, psychological and interpersonal benefits of minimalism). I’m passionate about minimalism, but not because it means I have a sparse, stylish, tidy home that is as white as possible. No, I […]

Slow Living Project: Love

:: danielle :: — Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:59:19 +0000

Each month I contemplate (very slowly, very mindfully about) introducing the hashtag #slowliving_blogpost because, well, I’m a little slow to post.

Interview with a Minimalist: Julie
